Bootlid Boot Lining? Anyone Have One, Or Got A Picture Of One?

[KrazyKong]

I saw a 4 door R33 Skyline yesterday in Brisbane that had a lining of the inside of the bootlid itself. It covered the boot and entended over the lock as well. It looked like there were 20-30 plastic clips holding it in place. The fabric was the same felt/plastic stuff or whatever it is, that the rest of the boot lining parts have on it. Searching around I found some reference to someone in the UK stating they are rare. My car never had one, and I'd not seen it in anyones pictures.

Does anyone here have it? If so, can you post a picture of it. I'm going to try and find one for my car. Hoping it will dampen down the road and rattles noises that come from the boot.

I found a picture of the lining here:

Still looking for one of these with all the original clips if possible as well.

I'd definitely get one if I needed to muffle the screams.

For noise it won't do shit. I never used to have one, than got one for free so shoved it on.

Why are you getting rattles in the boot? You mean because of a sub?

[KrazyKong]

A mate who has it in his car mentioned it actually made a different noise wise in his. Horses for courses I guess.

I'm missing one, and want to locate one. If it does nothing for the noise and rattle, then that's ok. It will still look better, and I'll be happy all the same.

The noises I'm hearing are buzzes, hollow sounds from the road etc. I don't have a sub yet, just 2x back speakers in that area. Also since putting in my new fuel pump I'm more concious of noises and sounds now from the back end.

As I mentioned, if it does nothing for the noises, that's ok. I can still be happy for the looks department and knowing my car is missing one less item than when I bought it.

Fair enough. I'm guessing you have a quite exhaust therefore can hear so many sounds because above the exhaust the only time I hear road noise is with the back seats removed.

there are 2 rubber stoppers attached too the boot lid (just like on the radiator support for a bonnet) these rubber stoppers are adjustable like the bonnet ones by just spinning them with your fingers. They are for adjusting your boot up and down from the rear and my guess is your boot is too low and getting some viabration. Try losening them to get some more pressure

Give Erwin at Skyline spares in Sydney a call, he would seperate one from a boot fr you because hes kind enought to seperate top tanks from radiators on request

Finally got my hands on a nice condition boot lid liner today with all the clips

[KrazyKong]

Decided to do a little work on the boot lid today. First off was to duct tape some cut up utility blanket stuff to the boot lid. I figured why not increase the sound proofing before putting the lining on.

Once I was happy with this, it was time to mount the boot lid lining.

And now all done with the clips in.

I only used one layer of the utility blanket material and could have gone with two. Obviously it's not going to work as well as say Dynamat would, but I have a few rolls of this stuff and am confident it will help things nicely. It can't hurt to try right.

The lining looks nice once mounted and am happy I persevered in locating one
