R33 Rear Left Rattles! Anyone Had This?

[Dragonforce]

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!

hmm my first guess would have been some tools behind the carpet in the boot, passenger side. but if you suspect it to be something as far back as the exhaust... maybe jack it up and see?

deriq.

easy - rear left coilovers (if you have them) mine was doing the same thing then up on the hoist one day realised that it had burst and had oil over it, found another one replaced it and now no more rattles......

Mmm its the stock suspension and the return rates seem ok and everything! The noise only seem to start after about 10 mins of driving, do you think this could be a heat expansion issue at the exhaust?

Try expanding the stock jack in its location behind the carpet.

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.

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

hahaha i had a jap umbrella and a few bolts and a screw driver in mine

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
