Tensioner is behind a cover, so not readily visible from outside.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Heres a pic of the timing chain,surely a pita to perform,and agree with SHOdded,the tensioner is pretty much isolated. Z

Possible, in early stages, as it doesn't sound continuous yet.  If you have access to a mechanic's stethoscope, you can narrow down the source (yes, there can be reflected sound, but still worth it).

that's what min sounds like on cold start up, but not everytime. Maybe the longer it sits makes it more likely to happen. I'm going to say its the timing chain tensioner because my previous G35 did the same thing.

Yea, it only does it when it sits for a while, this is when I started it today after being out of town since Friday, so about a 3 day sit.
