Annoying Noise

[R32Abuser]

Anyone had a similar experience on a 32, Gts-t, no that it matters really caus its definately an interior item making the noise (I THINK), and they are more or less the same.

Anyway, evcerytime i find a pothole in the rd (Adelaide roads are shocking so this happens many times), it sounds as if something towards the rear seats or speakers etc rattles, ive checked the seats and they seem to be down firmly (i got a seat rattle ages ago but fixed that all up) but now there is another problem.

Anyone had anything similar happen????

is it in the boot? ive just noticed my jack is rattling, was driving me nuts going wtf is that metallic rattling.

Get someone to sit in the back seat while you go for a drive, they might have a better chance of pinpointing exactly where the noise is coming from

otherwise open the boot, and on the passengers side under the carpet there is a hole (where some cars have their jack). check down in there. i pulled out a matchbox car, some makeup, and a few other random pieces of junk from previous owners.

yeah i initially went down this rd...but then found nothing but a tool kit (factory one) and thats about all...shes all clear now. I think im going to have to get someone to check...could it be any of my bushes being farked and causing excess noise?

[gtrchick]

well it depends, you said it sounded like it was from the interior, as someone already suggested before, get someone to sit in the back to pinpoint the noise better.

Worn bushes can make a variety of noises, tho usually a knocking noise depending on which bush it is. Get under the car and go over all your bushes with a torch and a pry bar making sure you flex them enough to see any cracks or sloppyness.

I had a similar rattle over bumpy roads from the parcel shelf area of the rear of my r33 gts-t , turned out it was loose top mounts of the rear suspension struts , which mount in the parcel shelf area (a bugger to get to as well!!!!!).....easy to tighten up once you get to them....

[R32Abuser]

il take a look...but im wondering...jsut how much noise (extra) can worn bushes make...caus i dont want to replace all of them just to find that the harshness of noises is the same.

lMAO who stores makeup in a hole under the carpet in the boot? was it a white powder?
