Im at a loss... it shifts properly and there is no loss of power... ughhh

How about posting a video that we can actually hear the whole sound of what that noise could be. all I hear is "f*ck the cops, *****".. If you want some accurate answers you should post a better video.

Also, do you know where the noise is coming from? Outside of the car? Under the hood? you need to post more info so people can accurately help you out.

the whole sound is that helicopter sounding slapping sound... Ill post another video but if you actually turn the volume up you'll hear it. the sound is coming from the outside of the car... BTW the sound its making is clear enough regardless of the music in the background.

Sure that's not an exhaust leak? Do yourself a favor:
1. Turn our music down your music while troubleshootings noise makes things easier on yourself!!!!!
2. Block wheels and jack up your car and crawl under it too inspect the freakin noise for yourself.....
3. Don't troubleshoot thru your youtube video again....It's a sign IMO of pure laziness and lack of mechanical amptitude!

I love some of the comments above...
- however -
IF the car was just sitting there on tickover, and it was making that sound, then I would assume that I had run at least one big-end bearing. Something has broken and is thrashing around or a bearing has gone.

This video is so useless! Record at daytime or using at flashlight so we can see exactly where in the car you're by, and yeah the music isn't helping.

Do all of the above. And play some real music. Maximas tend to like some classic rock I think.

Actually, I believe 4th gens prefer the music of the era they were born into. Nine Inch Nails "The Downward Spiral" plays well in my '95 Maxima. (Then again, a compilation of jazzy renditions of Beethoven's 7th played particularly well the other day.) Ain't anything wrong with some hip hop, either!
