hi,

just wondering what you peeps out there do to get rid of any annoying interior squeaks and noises?

I have a couple, and firstly, find them hard to pin point and second have no idea how to get rid of them.

I have an R34 and the area around the top guage cluster has a bit of a creak to it, not sure where exactly.

just wondering if anyone has any processes they use to elimante unwanted noises, or if anyone knows of any common causes for the squeaks, etc...

cheers

yeah its a bitch aye. Try taking off the interiour panel and putting a really thin sheet of foam/sound deadening under it. Or maybe a drop of silicone over the metal clips so they dont vibrate

I always try and push on everything at different points while it's rattling.. see if I can narrow it down to the bit of plastic, panel, etc that is moving around. Often it's just a screw undone..

After I've found it I'll shove a bit of folded paper in there, or obviously replace the screw.. generally I'm pretty successful at getting rid of them on most of the cars I've had.

yeh bro ive got an r34 n somewhere in the back seats where the plastic overhead things are theres a major squeak noise everytime i go over bumps..n it also comes n goes..

some days its nice n quiet and some days u just wanna rip the interior out

whenever I turn up the stereo my splits make an annoying vibration noise in the rear parcel shelf.

Not sure if it's the plastic brackets or the speakers, but it's very annoying, anybody got any tips?

^ so Porshe's come with felt tape from the factory?

felt tape.... silicone stuff... foam deadening.... paper :) - some good things in here :blush:

i've got one "creak" on my drivers door, in the cloth/fabric section (under the window) how would i get behind there? take the whole door trim off? i've NEVER dismantled any trim before, is it fairly easy to do?

it is. just remember to go slow the first time, be careful and make sure you are applying force in the right spots. once you've done it once it becomes a lot easier. try to be even in you pulling too. if you are bending things that arent meant to bend, you are gonna do damage.

EDIT: re reading that bit of advice, i rekon that it can be applied in a totally different "first time" situation too :D:(

That's pretty true. I don't remember or wouldn't have noticed on our old 320i, 528i. But the 530i i believe is squeak free, the 335i has a little one that's popped up (and considering it's less than half a year old, that's not too good) but the suspension is much harder. The 318i has a few noises.

i think the stiffness of the suspension plays a huge part. The stock R34 suspension i find is actually quite stiff, or the shocks are crap, or something, i dunno.

I have an annoying creak in the passenger side inner rear trim, the one that runs along the top of the rear window and down...

Ive tried squeezing silicon filler in there, and still no dice.. If I knew how to remove the bloody thing I could get in there and take care of it properly! Anyone happen to know how these panels come off?

my door tirm has the sounds..

if i press down or put my arm on the door trim while im driving it crys out like a pig...

same as passenger side door trim..

and also if i press down the back seats, it makes metal scripping sounds... i think its because of bushes... anyway...

i have to dissemble those trims and put somethings between connections.... i hate that noise....

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
