i got 2X12 inch subs in the boot

now from inside the car all i hear is deep beautiful bass, however as soon as i step out the car any bass is cancelled out by the boot rattle

is there an easy way to fix this

heres some notes

i have stopped the number plate so it cant be that

the boot lid itself doesnt rattle.. if i hold it 1 inch from been closed there is no rattle, however as soon as its closed then it starts

i went to autobarn to ask about some sound deadening rubber they said it would be about 300 bucks

for 300 bucks the boot can rattle all it wants it doesnt effect me while im in the car

is there a cheap/DIY alternative to stop this or just help it

i know there are some heavy doof doof people on these forums like me, surely you went through same problem

car is an r33

thankyou

check the obvious things like the spare, the jack and every nut and bolt you can wave a spanner or screwdriver over.

ultimately sound deadening is worth every penny so buy a bulk pack, deaden both front doors and the boot.

money and time very very very well spent.

I used to get it like a bitch... I actually flexed the boot on my last car... But girls used to sit on it for extended preiods of time :domokun:

If it sounds like something is just loose, find it, fix it... Otherwise, Dynomat the boot... It will sound better as well, not just stop the rattle :P

So... the boot lining inbetween the taillights rattled on mine. I put some Dynamat against the metal before the carpet clips back on.

Now... the other one. Jesus it took ages to find! The keybarrel in the boot rattles like a bastard!

And it's not the keybarrel being loose or anything, it's the mechanism INSIDE the keybarrel that rattles. The only way to quieten it is to try and wrap it in foam and an elastic band to muffle the sound. Try it anyway. I could get mine rattling by thumping the inside of the bootlid with my hand. (no carpet on bootlid)

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
