Hey guys,

Coming from the rear left hand quater of my series 2 R33 i have this annoying ass rattle at all speeds, Now its far back enough that im thinking possibly exhaust but everything looks tight! If anyone has had anything similar to this please tell me! It sounds kinda like something hollow banging against something. Defiantly more noticeable over bumps. Its also not the spare tyre, battery jack, catalytic converter (just imported so should be brand new) or tools.

Cheers for any help! This is bugging me!

have a look in the little alcove where the jack sits. make sure the jack is tight, and stick your hand down in the hole and see if there is anything in there. i found 2 toy cars, some makeup and a few other things in there when i checked mine.

^^^^ Yeah I second that. I had this annoying rattle in the back whenever I turned corners. Finally put my hand down beneath the jack bracket and found a roll of electrical tape and a screwdriver. Never heard the rattle since.

if its on the left side...try checking to see if the antenna mask is loose

lol check for loose golf balls aswell. i was out at nightcrawlers house the other day and was sick of the rattling so i went through the tool area and found some spare golf balls, they make a lot of noise :)

Ok, its the friggen muffler.

It only happens when its been running for awhile so im guessing that the metal expands and something inside is then rattling around. Its the stock muffler and i cant see anything to tighten so i suppose its after market time!

Cheers all

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
