Sound deaden your boot panels / number plates to stop vibrations and panel flex. Also should do your doors too.

Look up products like Dynamat, G-Spot Serenity, etc.

//Edit: Read this link from FHRXStudios about deadening.

Its a bit messy, well a lot messy, but I like to use underbody tar, costs less than $20 for a litre tin and you can just smear it on all over the inside of your doors, works a treat. Grab some rubber gloves and tape some plastic bags up the length of your arms, if it gets on your skin its a bastard getting it off. I would still grab some matting for the boot tho just for asthetics sake...

Dynamat Extreme is awsome stuff. i really recommend it, although it isnt cheap. i put almost a total boot kit on the VS (it is a commodore, theyre designed to vibrate to bits :() and a wedge back on the boot. it sounds a million times better and hardly any rattles except for the outside door handle :)

Turn the music down... no just kidding...

Yeah sound deadening works a little bit, but its normally connections that will cause the problems...

the number plate, sections where a body kit touches other pannels... all those sorts of this... You can get a foam which is kinda like shaving cream with a nozzle like on WD40 and other degreasers to get into sections like that, and it goes stiff and can reduce some rattles... But I would only do this if you dont ever plan on removing any of those sections later...

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
