Bootlid Boot Lining? Anyone Have One, Or Got A Picture Of One?

I saw a 4 door R33 Skyline yesterday in Brisbane that had a lining of the inside of the bootlid itself. It covered the boot and entended over the lock as well. It looked like there were 20-30 plastic clips holding it in place. The fabric was the same felt/plastic stuff or whatever it is, that the rest of the boot lining parts have on it. Searching around I found some reference to someone in the UK stating they are rare. My car never had one, and I'd not seen it in anyones pictures.

Does anyone here have it? If so, can you post a picture of it. I'm going to try and find one for my car. Hoping it will dampen down the road and rattles noises that come from the boot.

A mate who has it in his car mentioned it actually made a different noise wise in his. Horses for courses I guess.

I'm missing one, and want to locate one. If it does nothing for the noise and rattle, then that's ok. It will still look better, and I'll be happy all the same.

The noises I'm hearing are buzzes, hollow sounds from the road etc. I don't have a sub yet, just 2x back speakers in that area. Also since putting in my new fuel pump I'm more concious of noises and sounds now from the back end.

As I mentioned, if it does nothing for the noises, that's ok. I can still be happy for the looks department and knowing my car is missing one less item than when I bought it.

Fair enough. I'm guessing you have a quite exhaust therefore can hear so many sounds because above the exhaust the only time I hear road noise is with the back seats removed.

there are 2 rubber stoppers attached too the boot lid (just like on the radiator support for a bonnet) these rubber stoppers are adjustable like the bonnet ones by just spinning them with your fingers. They are for adjusting your boot up and down from the rear and my guess is your boot is too low and getting some viabration. Try losening them to get some more pressure

Give Erwin at Skyline spares in Sydney a call, he would seperate one from a boot fr you because hes kind enought to seperate top tanks from radiators on request

Decided to do a little work on the boot lid today. First off was to duct tape some cut up utility blanket stuff to the boot lid. I figured why not increase the sound proofing before putting the lining on.

Once I was happy with this, it was time to mount the boot lid lining.

And now all done with the clips in.

I only used one layer of the utility blanket material and could have gone with two. Obviously it's not going to work as well as say Dynamat would, but I have a few rolls of this stuff and am confident it will help things nicely. It can't hurt to try right.

The lining looks nice once mounted and am happy I persevered in locating one :)

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      I've got MCA Blues on my V36 Skyline, and while I've managed to sort out issues with scrubbing/bottoming out by raising it a smidge and increasing the damping hardness, the rear end still sounds *super* noisy when driving on anything other than the flattest surface imaginable. It sounds like a small party of flamingos are just chatting away in the back, which makes me think there are several link points in the suspension contributing to the noise. Am I hearing dried out/worn bushings? None of it sounds like metal-on-metal, it sounds more like hard rubber squeaking on metal. It's been suggested that a bit of silicon spray on each bushing might quiet them down, but I'm not sure what material the current bushings are made of (probably factory, I imagine) and whether silicon spray will degrade that material.

      The obvious answer here is get a ND2/3 RF with the Targa top. The red is nicer, too!
