Re: 2 questions 1 titan and 1 on my 95 maxima (s13s130)
hey bro, im not sure anything about that noise on your titan. i have seen a few with interior rattles and stuff but nothing in time with the rpms. as for the abs/vdc/tcs...yes, you can turn it off. there should be a button by your left knee to turn that off(i think). then that sucker will do some real smokies!
on the max...what year? the starters on those things are known for getting old and funky. i highly reccomend that if you get a starter, just spend the money on a nissan one and only have to do it once. its a pretty easy install but you dont want to be taking it back to slappys discount auto parts every month(seen it happen). you may look into rebuilding it if you have the time and can find parts for it. the o2 sensors are also pretty common on those cars. there was a recall for obd2 on like the 95 or 96(i forget) that involved replacing o2 sensors and an exhaust pipe. it relocated the sensors so they did not get wet by the water in the exhaust and crack. those cars are sensitive to idle speed so make sure it idles high enough to avoid flooding the motor on cold days. also, a QUALITY fuel additive really does help them out. use something like chevron techron, bg 44k, or seafoam. those are all high quality products unlike most of the stuff you will find in the parts store. a nissan master tech at my shop did an injector service(with 3m injector cleaner) on his 96 max and the idle jumped up by like 150rpm or something due to better fuel atomisation. now, he swears by them.

oh duh. 95 max. ok all that stuff applies to a 95 i think.
on the titan noise.its a clikcking /ticking noise it sounds like the injector tick on a l28 280zx motor but it comes from the pass side around the kick panel glove box area.it dosent come and go its always there it definatley rpm related it is consistant going from steady at idle and faster as rpm's climb and lower as they drop
hey i just checked for any buttons by my left knee and all there is is dash lumination and cargo light. i think its tied into the abs system that would be a bummer if it dosent turn off when it activates a light on the left side of the cluster flashes the word (SLIP) and the tires quit spinning and the brakes apply and it will keep accelerating but like i threw a anchor from a oil tanker off the tailgate for a moment then it will take off normal
oh, never mind what i said then. have you taken it to the dealership to see if they have any ideas on the titan, its just odd that it sounds like that inside the interior
my dad has a car with traction control like that too, it is suposed to be able to turn off, but even when we turn it off, it still wont spin the tires (we needed to get going on a thin layer of ice, spinning the tires will melt it)

Re: (240kid)
hmmm, i will have to look in a titan when i get the chance. i thought they had a button there. i remember thats where the button is on the 350z and thought it was there on the titan too.
