*BUMP*

My Stagea has the same 'click' noise when loading up the drivetrain, only audible with the windows down.

Just had the RR side caliper & disc off, no obvious signs there, but the pads are still suspected.

All frame & link mounts are secure, I'll climb under the car tonight & see what I can find with a second person helping.

It might not the be same sound, but in mine I get a loud Clack or Click noise when I change gears (can only hear it in the lower changes, where significant masses are exchanged and the engine noise isn't so loud), and also when I am in reverse and play around with the clutch catch point. My mech said it's a ball-headed bolt that sits between two thick wires on the same arm thing as the throw-out bearing.

The thing that makes your problem sound familiar is that some said it happens on gear changes and/or when there is load on the drivetrain, that's exactly when mine occurs (e.g. a clumsy change will also show it up fairly obviously).

But the sound I hear is most definitely from the gearbox/clutch area, so like I said, might not be the same. My clutch is getting changed out on Tuesday, so I'll try to get a recording of the sound before then.

Suggestions for where it can be uploaded? (if anyone is interested...)

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
