use an adhesive silicon around the metal reinforcement for the boot, and just clean it up so doesnt look bad. get 1 in the colour of your car. that will stop boot rattle. use blu tack under ur number plates to stop them rattling. and for anything else there is duct tape.

Were you just after stopping rattles, or actual soundproofing? two different things....

To soundproof a boot/door/anything the most effective way is to head to any place that does audio installations (WOW, Autobarn, Strathfield) and pick up sheets of soundproofing material. Comes in squares close to A4 size. $30 upwards.

Pull out ur boot trim of remove ur door trims and place the sticky side to the tin, cutting it to fit. The good stuff is about 3mm thick, but still cut-able.

THis helps keep the sound in the car, and stops road noise too. Good for SPL, clarity, as well as getting rid of the tinny hollow sound of speakers mounted to door trims.

      R34 GTT Central Locking Pains

      Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.

      What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.

      Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.

      Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
