hi,

just wondering what you peeps out there do to get rid of any annoying interior squeaks and noises?

I have a couple, and firstly, find them hard to pin point and second have no idea how to get rid of them.

I have an R34 and the area around the top guage cluster has a bit of a creak to it, not sure where exactly.

just wondering if anyone has any processes they use to elimante unwanted noises, or if anyone knows of any common causes for the squeaks, etc...

cheers

yeah its a bitch aye. Try taking off the interiour panel and putting a really thin sheet of foam/sound deadening under it. Or maybe a drop of silicone over the metal clips so they dont vibrate

I always try and push on everything at different points while it's rattling.. see if I can narrow it down to the bit of plastic, panel, etc that is moving around. Often it's just a screw undone..

After I've found it I'll shove a bit of folded paper in there, or obviously replace the screw.. generally I'm pretty successful at getting rid of them on most of the cars I've had.

yeh bro ive got an r34 n somewhere in the back seats where the plastic overhead things are theres a major squeak noise everytime i go over bumps..n it also comes n goes..

some days its nice n quiet and some days u just wanna rip the interior out

whenever I turn up the stereo my splits make an annoying vibration noise in the rear parcel shelf.

Not sure if it's the plastic brackets or the speakers, but it's very annoying, anybody got any tips?

^ so Porshe's come with felt tape from the factory?

felt tape.... silicone stuff... foam deadening.... paper :) - some good things in here :blush:

i've got one "creak" on my drivers door, in the cloth/fabric section (under the window) how would i get behind there? take the whole door trim off? i've NEVER dismantled any trim before, is it fairly easy to do?

it is. just remember to go slow the first time, be careful and make sure you are applying force in the right spots. once you've done it once it becomes a lot easier. try to be even in you pulling too. if you are bending things that arent meant to bend, you are gonna do damage.

EDIT: re reading that bit of advice, i rekon that it can be applied in a totally different "first time" situation too :D:(

That's pretty true. I don't remember or wouldn't have noticed on our old 320i, 528i. But the 530i i believe is squeak free, the 335i has a little one that's popped up (and considering it's less than half a year old, that's not too good) but the suspension is much harder. The 318i has a few noises.

i think the stiffness of the suspension plays a huge part. The stock R34 suspension i find is actually quite stiff, or the shocks are crap, or something, i dunno.

I have an annoying creak in the passenger side inner rear trim, the one that runs along the top of the rear window and down...

Ive tried squeezing silicon filler in there, and still no dice.. If I knew how to remove the bloody thing I could get in there and take care of it properly! Anyone happen to know how these panels come off?

my door tirm has the sounds..

if i press down or put my arm on the door trim while im driving it crys out like a pig...

same as passenger side door trim..

and also if i press down the back seats, it makes metal scripping sounds... i think its because of bushes... anyway...

i have to dissemble those trims and put somethings between connections.... i hate that noise....

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
