Refer sig :D

Seriously though, you still have it? :no:

mate if only u were in melb. mate of mine has an import wreckers that deals with only skylines, silvias etc. he :D:( would have EVERYTHING ur after. almost garentee it! :(

new boot rubber stoppers fitted. the boot shuts a lot nicer but theres still a rattle... any other suggestions apart from gutting the whole arse end?

checked the 2 layers of the boot skin/reinforcement area? (common issue after putting in big stereos - need to silicon the 2 layers together so they dont rattle)

checked the licence plate mounts and plate itself?

hey mark, yeah i think I kept the tie down clamp thing. I'll have a look when I get home tonight, if i've got it it's your for $0.00 inc postage.

Thanks Richard, much appreciated. The existing one was butchered by a ham-fisted auto elec that had never seen a spacer.

stock speakers etc. dont wanna add too much weight to my car. ill check the skins and support stuff. i might go nuts with a tube of black silicone.

the whole plate assembly has been checked as i thought my new plates might have been vibrating. its not this...

thanks for the suggestions :)

ive been getting it ever since my coilovers have been installed, might be exhaust? had a guy in a wrx pull upnext to me doing 80kmh to tell me my exhaust was loose hahahah

Easy way to fix it? good stereo, the cars are getting old and unfortunately rattly, ive ironed out alot in my car but there are some deeep ones

question: where do you guys access in behind the rear 1/4 panels? do you go in through the boot? or can you access them by taking the interior trim off as well?

i gutted the inside of the boot and the interior eg:back seats, upper and lower trims (destroying my upper trims in the process...) you cant see diddley sqwat from the interior. most of the rear quarters is thru the boot.

new rubber stoppers are on the boot lid now and the latch has been adjusted. still got rattles...

ive had the exhaust checked before with 3 of us under the car on a hoist banging and shaking the crappa out of it. not a peep. ive thought maybe it could have something to do with the suspention. i still have the stock setup. anyone had anything wrong with their stock suspention? any rattles? still gotta hunt this nosie down.

Mr Ed32, is true about a good stereo but i do sometimes like to drive and listen to the RB26 in front of me. wicked note. which is why i hate distracting rattles!

anybody seen that computer lookin thing thats located inside the left rear quarter panel in front of the jack holder? WTF is it??

thats the module for the rear dimister? correct me if iam wrong >_<........and have u checked the left seat belt harness, if its bolted/seated down properly? got the same rattles in my car figured one of them just one more to find...sounds like the barrier from the boot to rear seats..but havent been too bothered to find out.

i havnt tried the seatbelts yet. thanks for the suggestion. ive had the rear seats out and the panel between the boot and the cab out and the noise is still in there. it actually became louder. this is why i reckon its gotta be coming from the boot somewhere.

does anybody agree that its the module for the rear demister in the left hand rear quarter panel?

I have had this rattle since I bought my car and I know theres a bracket in the quarter panel holding the jack (in mine anyway).

Ive always thought it was the parcel shelf being loose and the speaker rattling against the frame....meh!

yea ive got that jack bracket in the rear panel. its securely fixed. ive driven around with the inside of the back of my car completely gutted including the parcel shelf. still hear this damn rattle! im leaning toward maybe the suspention setup?? its still the stock stuff so...

sorry to reply such an old post , but i had the same problem on my r32gtst. Its driving me insane ! I sent my car to centreline performance to get them checked if its the suspension, but after a thorough check, it wasnt. I used to ask my mechanic to tighten the exhaust harness before and it was quieter. I asked a new mechanic recently to tighten it and they say it cant be tighten... so im unsure now ... Its really very annoying !!

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
