Remove the sound deadener with dry ice; wire wheel the rust marks; paint with kbs; reinstate the seam sealer; cover with new sound deadener

How many hours or labour and material would you estimate for this to take/cost?

Well tbf he's asking someone who has had it done so he has a rough idea of what it's cost others to establish a ballpark.

Sure, it cost $XYZ 3 years ago isn't perfect data, but it's something to know before he talks to a paint/body shop and they hurt him in the wallet

Someone just told me that factory R33 GT-R didn’t have sound deadening in the boot. Is this true?

I’m considering removing the sound deadener with dry ice myself, and then paying someone to remove rust marks, paint with anti rust paint and reinstate the seam sealer. If I don’t need to reinstate sound deadening hopefully I can keep the cost down.

So, I am a DIY type. Disclaimer: I am an amateur (very).

Costs, time and risk may not be relevant to others. All of the work that I described above was performed by me and I am performing this work throughout the whole car so difficult to say how much for the boot only.

If you want to do the sound deadener only in the spare wheel well, then not much point TBH. $20 and an hour of your time; if that. It is the heat cycles; seam sealer overrun; and carpet that makes this job a PIA when you move into the rest of the car.

Probably just 1kg. From memory that was the minimum that BOC would sell.

Thank you!!! I ended up getting 2 kg but they filled up a 5kg bucket. I got most of it off but there is still some left. What remains is kind of sticky. Not sure why I was unable to get it off. Where to from now? How do I remove the rest of it?

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
