Timing Chain Noise

The timing chain noise at low acceleration is getting very annoying. Is there anything that can be done about it?

Hmm, if i'm not mistaken you should not be hearing the timing chain upon acceleration. If anything the only time you'll hear it "grind" for a second is during a cold start on a cold day.

I've heard it every now and then during acceleration, like when i'm driving beside a wall or building pretty closely. I'm going to have my dealership take a look at when i have them check out my rear suspension. I get some real squeaky noises out of the back left under low speed tight turns. I'm not sure whether they'll fix either.

I hear a small chirping/old piece of sh.. car noise when accelerating at around 1500rpms. I hear the noise when i'm next to a wall or a car or something; when it gets projeceted back to me. It's very mild, but its there. I have 6500 miles on my max, this shouldn't be happening.

That's funny. I hear it too. always when I am close to a jersey wall or bldg. This sucks, but my 4th gen did it too. I hope it is not a Nissan "problem". I need to get mine checked out too.
