Rattle In Cabin Of Gtr

[CSNet]

Hey guys.

The past day or two I've began to notice a rattle or something vibrating in the back of the car. It sounds like it is in the cabin, though it could also be from the boot area of the car. It's on the passenger side, at the back of the car. I thought it could have been the plastic that runs along the column there, but after securing that the rattle persists. I've also checked around the speakers, the battery area, I even stripped the boot looking for anything lose. I also tightened the screws on the seal around the bottom of the back window.

The noise is more of a vibration. Definitely sounds like something is loose. It's most noticable when boost comes on and when the exhaust is deepest in 4th gear (on boost). I've checked along the exhaust all seems tight. Though when driving it sounds more in the cabin.

Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey mate,

I had the same problem yesterday I initially thought it was from the cabin/boot space as well. After a week of pinpointing the issue, I found it to be the mounting on the exhaust near the tip... there seems to be a spring mechanism that locks it into place, and when it came loose, made a rattle that sounded like it was in the cabin space/panel work. I'm not sure if that is the same case for you, but I guess you could check...

Thats the case for my R34, but I think it may be the same for you as well.

Good luck~!

For those wondering, I have fixed the issue.

Something fell out of the jack and managed to work its way down to the bottom of the rear quarter panel. It was sitting next to the overflow hose, and rattled quite bad when I touched the hose itself. So, stripped part of the boot again, removed the object...

Solved! Thanks for making me look down near the exhaust
