Hey guys,

Coming from the rear left hand quater of my series 2 R33 i have this annoying ass rattle at all speeds, Now its far back enough that im thinking possibly exhaust but everything looks tight! If anyone has had anything similar to this please tell me! It sounds kinda like something hollow banging against something. Defiantly more noticeable over bumps. Its also not the spare tyre, battery jack, catalytic converter (just imported so should be brand new) or tools.

Cheers for any help! This is bugging me!

have a look in the little alcove where the jack sits. make sure the jack is tight, and stick your hand down in the hole and see if there is anything in there. i found 2 toy cars, some makeup and a few other things in there when i checked mine.

^^^^ Yeah I second that. I had this annoying rattle in the back whenever I turned corners. Finally put my hand down beneath the jack bracket and found a roll of electrical tape and a screwdriver. Never heard the rattle since.

if its on the left side...try checking to see if the antenna mask is loose

lol check for loose golf balls aswell. i was out at nightcrawlers house the other day and was sick of the rattling so i went through the tool area and found some spare golf balls, they make a lot of noise :)

Ok, its the friggen muffler.

It only happens when its been running for awhile so im guessing that the metal expands and something inside is then rattling around. Its the stock muffler and i cant see anything to tighten so i suppose its after market time!

Cheers all

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      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.
