Hey,

Have had this problem for a long time, but would like to fix it as the sound isnt really pleasing :)

When i have the window down (at any height) the door seems to rattle around when driving. When i go up/down a speed hump you hear the door clank up/down to the movement.

Also, when i turn a corner, or a u-turn, the door makes a loud rubber squeaking sound as the turn is made. Was really annoying on skidpan as all you could hear is the door rattling/squeaking.

Im not sure what needs to be replaced to stop my driver door causing all of these sounds.

Some people have mentioned that it is the window moving and not the door, but im pretty sure its not as ive put my arm on the window to stop any movement :)

Other symptoms which could have some effect?

- When the window is put down, it jolts the door on the first movement.

- The rubber seal around the door clamp (near the light switch which turns on light when door opened) has peeled off, perhaps this is causing the extra movement?

- Door doesnt seem to sag excessively.

Thanks all

- Patrick

take the door trim off and drive around, will be easier to find whats causing it. Almost sounds like the rivets that hold the power window assembly are starting to wear.

damn what a bump haha.

Ive fixed the problem by now, this thread brings back to when i had that annoying problem haha.

My problem was the rubber on the U-Latch was worn. Not sure what its called, the latch which the door locks onto to hold the door shut haha.

Due to the worn rubber, they door would rattle because of it.

Easy fix is to swap the latch with the passenger side. As that one is usually less worn it will hold the door nice and firm.

However the u-latch is a tricky thing to mount properly. If you dont mount it properly your door might stick out a bit when closed.

Hope that helps

Not the best solution, as it tightens up the latch if you put too mcuh on and makes it hard to open the door! Just been experimenting with different amounts of tape-but at the end of the day it works as intended

Cheers for the fix!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
