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.

      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.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
