Hey guys,

Just wondering whos used sound deadening in there skyline!

Im getting my doors done but where else have you found to have a noticeable impact on cabin noise.

I have a Series 2 Gts-t coupe.

Thanks!

I have put dynamat extreme on a few ee series 2's, if you do it properly, i.e. on the inner and outer door sheet metal, you cant go wrong. It will make your doors sound firmer, as well as make your door speakers sound awesome. To give you an idea, the pioneer splits in my doors put out more bass than the kenwood 6x9s which I have mounted in an MDF parcel shelf.

*sigh* still to do mine. I have a Dynamat extreme kit, so it should do two doors.

Anyway.. my boot rattles with a single sub. I thought it might be the keylock part, which has some play in it... in which case I might just lather it in some thick grease instead. (from the inside of the boot-lid.. behind the lining if you have it)

under the rear seats is a source of noise.

the doors give you the best bang for your buck but if you have time and money that is the next place to get stuck into.

Rear quaters/doors if 4door and boot are both good places to SD. I had a bare boot and after SDing the boot bottom and wheel arches it made a fair bit of difference.

So it is quite good to do eh?

Seems a few people are getting tighter panels and increased dB from doing the doors and boot.

yep, fixes a few things - lack of bass for one in the doors.

this is one of those how long is a piece of string questions, but roughly how much weight are we adding to just the front doors? 5kg?

I'll say this - a bulk pack (9 sheets) is 18kg. do the math off that. doors on a skyline takes 4 sheets.

Say chris.. do you reckon the dynamat packs are worth the money in your opinion? because, i've got a boat load of deadening packs i bought from a car shop years ago (it's basically just adhesive with some foam). and i've also got a few litres of septone brush on deadener (which smells like fish oil, but seems to work well on my boot). but then again, they're all available to me at no cost... whereas a decent deadening pack to do my doors, floor, boot will set me back a few hundred.

I got the dynamat bulk pack off ebay for about $200, off quicksmarttechnology i think there name was. I did my doors and I have plenty left over to do my boot. From what I have seen and heard, the brush on stuff can be a pain and pretty messy, dynamat is pretty much like putting contact on your doors (not really as easy)

may want to do the math here but its $248 shipped. now I do these things at $243 shipped all day long. postage is not $39 to ship it oz wide- its roughly half that.

that said its application is pretty much like contact paper only a bit thicker.

howie,

if you haev access to teh foam type do it. the spray on is messsy and not as effective. good for rust though.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
