R33 Door/guard Replacement - S1 Vs S2 ? Dynamat Transfer ?

[PuppaDuck]

Hi guys,

Looking to replace a coupe passenger door and guard soon.

Are there any considerations in differences between getting a replacement series 1 over a series 2 ?

I have a feeling there may be something different about one of the molex plugs stopping a straight door swap.

The reason I ask is because I want to know if I have to hunt down a specific model (for the door and guard) or will anything do ?

A secondary concern I have is how hard it will be to transfer those after market sound deadening mats over.

I think they were called Dynamats. Its been years since I had to deal with them, but I remember they made a huge difference and were expensive, so I'd like to save them.

Not sure if they require a heat gun to melt them off or some scraping too.

Perhaps some of you have been through this before and may have some experience to offer.

Replies appreciated.

I dont think you can pull dynamat off and re-use it. It would delaminate, and lose its adhesion. Its got to adhere to the door REALLY well for maximum vibration damping, hence why you clean the door thoroughly prior to installation, and why you squeeze all the bubbles out.
