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 :D

Hehehe, no problems mate

    • My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?
    • It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.
    • @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!
    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
    • Which one did you buy? I have always wanted a decent inspection camera but have been unable to tell whether something is cheap junk or cheap junk chunk sold at just a bigger markup
