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.

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

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
