It's the spring rotating in the suspension.

Relax. The 350Z and G35 have the same problem. When pressure is applied or relieved from a spring the end coil that rests against the suspension slips/rotates, hence making a clicking sound.

Nope, just means your springs are sliding smoothly. You've just got a well lubed rear end.....
