sound from door

[3R1K]

I'm opening a thread again

my car got so many problems now, jeez.

If the engine vibrates, the interior starts to making sound (sometimes)

and right hand side door is making squicking sound (often)

I try to go to the dealer to get free maintenance but after 1 or 2 months the sound came back.

Anyone can suggest me shop or people who can check out the car and fix them so that the car won't make any more noise

Thanx

Erik

buy a loud stereo to block out the squicking noise:)

[3R1K]

huehuehuee, I did that lots of times but still I hate using a car like that , sounds like owning an 80's car

Erik, Seems like you car has a few rattles and squeaks, we all have them, and there very difficult to locate and solve. Unless it's really bad I tend to ignore most of the noises:D

[3R1K]

oh really?

The most annoying is from driver door, anyone can solve this?

[gtracer]

Double sided tape is your friend. Find squeak and apply liberally.

[3R1K]

I don't know where the squeak that's the main problem

[G0DF4Th3R]

sell the car

no let me drive it and diagnose where the sound is coming from

[R34]

Mate we can't help you diagnose a squeak on the forum.

Make the effort and try to locate the noise yourself and work out the best way to fix it yourself.

Cheers

probably just need to oil the hinges to the door... I know mine need doing as I get big sqeeking when opening my drivers door

[ix9]

My boost gauge jumps when I go over a bump the bloody coilovers are that hard!

ah well... you'll get used to it Erik..

Erik, come to the skills swapping day and we can all have a drive... I mean, help you find the source of your squeaks.

Pull it apart and put it back together - works for me all the time

dude...u drive a 34 man...i drive a 33 thats knockin close to 7 yrs old now and the squeeks i have in mine, u can only imagine..

as for drivers door, mine used to rattle...i took it off....used electrical tape and taped every f*cken thing and joint together...

even the part at the top of the trim, where it hooks on to the metal frame of the door, i coated it with tape and all so theres no metal against metal henceforth, no chance for rattle.

but!!!

the bloody thing came back and mocked me like a b*tch.

i press it abit now and it goes (klak).

ive pretty much given up till the next time i change my speakers.

[rb25]

wow - my '93 R33 has no rattles at all now. it had one squeak and it was just a loose screw on the bonnet popper under the dash, and a rattly door, pulled it totally apart and screwed everything up tight and all is good.....

[3R1K]

Lol,

My dad said it's from speaker then I tried to bring it to a shop to fix it then it's gone after a while it came back again.

MrGTST -

It's not when I'm opening the door, it's when I'm driving around.

Angel - Wanna drive? When is the next skill swapping day?

streamer - You better get a new r33 like 97's

rb25 - lol , I never do such thing , If anyone like to show me how that would be lovely, or it's gonna be a mess job i.e. Take it off and at the end , have no idea how to put it back lol

[3R1K]

rb25 I though you are in Perth, but your not I want you to have a look at my car

[rb25]

oh man - theres a total of 6 screws holding my door skin in, theres nothing to these cars, thats the beauty of em..... Just get in there and have a go! 12 months ago I didnt know what a turbo looked like, now I'm installing/tuning electronic boost controllers, changing plugs and brakes etc.. Just have a go, you'll learn heaps about your own car.

/end bragging

[3R1K]

Wow, that's so nice, you can tune and install the whole thing?

I'll make you my tutor for free charge

erik: its not a difficult job

removing the door trim panels and tightening everything and retaping eveyrthing is the easiest thing ive ever learnt.

door is held by a few screws here and there. im not sure for 34 but i know for 33, its held by 3 screws @ the bottom, a screw in the cup thing attached to yr power window ctrls and your door latch sorround.

the rest is just pins that you can pry off...and pop back in when u push it abck in.

inside yr car, there is a waterproof skin/membrane kinda thing that protects yr trim and electrics frm getting any water durin rainy days or car washes and what happens is often, that is just rubbin against some electrical tape or cables to create a squeak..

so just open em up and see how it goes...shdn't be a problem...

sometimes, its also the the plastic pieces sorrounding the bottom of your dash console..

so if u take that out and tighten everythin and put it back together, shud be fine after that

i tried that too...pretty easy...removing the gear stick and unscrewing the screws behind yr ashtary shd get u started...
