my car is kinda having the same problem, my car is the nissan maxima sl 2004, it has 99k miles on it, not at 100k yet. but i was wondering one thing, cause it does sorta this kinda noise for like a minute when i start the car.. but when i drive it for like lets say 2 minutes , and i stop and go outside to check it out there is no noise like it at all, it confused me, i dont want to start checking the timing chain cause that will be a long time to get down there to check it out.. so idk..
timing chain i have same problem after changing water pump skiped a tooth in chain i also had to change tentener and guide because they were made obsolete do to 90% failure rate 96 maxima
if it is a quite continues nock it is a lifter rod, and if it is loud like that it is a timing chain, dont run it anymore or ull lose the chain and smash in ur valves, and ud be better getting a new AMERICAN car, after that.
mine does the same but not that loud and it goes away after a few min..and i got an oil leak coming from my timing chain wheel barons ..i drive it from state to state every weekend
NO thats the same problem i am having with my infinity! we looked at the timing belt and it was fine. I let a friend borrow my car and then the car started to slow down. and he eventually stalled. when we tried to turn it down it made the same noise this car was making. but now it doesnt want to turn on at all and we think it might be the camshaft sensor

DUDE. This happened to me. A screw came of the butterfly valve and made the SAME noise.

I would say timing chain as well...... All Nissan's are "Japanese GM"...... aka the WORST thing to come out of their country!
