Hey guys.

The past day or two I've began to notice a rattle or something vibrating in the back of the car. It sounds like it is in the cabin, though it could also be from the boot area of the car. It's on the passenger side, at the back of the car. I thought it could have been the plastic that runs along the column there, but after securing that the rattle persists. I've also checked around the speakers, the battery area, I even stripped the boot looking for anything lose. I also tightened the screws on the seal around the bottom of the back window.

The noise is more of a vibration. Definitely sounds like something is loose. It's most noticable when boost comes on and when the exhaust is deepest in 4th gear (on boost). I've checked along the exhaust all seems tight. Though when driving it sounds more in the cabin.

Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey mate,

I had the same problem yesterday I initially thought it was from the cabin/boot space as well. After a week of pinpointing the issue, I found it to be the mounting on the exhaust near the tip... there seems to be a spring mechanism that locks it into place, and when it came loose, made a rattle that sounded like it was in the cabin space/panel work. I'm not sure if that is the same case for you, but I guess you could check...

Thats the case for my R34, but I think it may be the same for you as well.

Good luck~!

For those wondering, I have fixed the issue.

Something fell out of the jack and managed to work its way down to the bottom of the rear quarter panel. It was sitting next to the overflow hose, and rattled quite bad when I touched the hose itself. So, stripped part of the boot again, removed the object...

Solved! Thanks for making me look down near the exhaust :D

Hehehe, no problems mate

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
