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.

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

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 :)

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.

      Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.
