alright i know the r32 is getting on in age and im finding creaks and rattles more frequently when crusing around, mainly from the doors

what has everyone else done to fix or quieten this??

i have removed the door trims and tightened every screw and bolt in sight but the problems still continues

the culprit might be the long rods of metal for the door locking mechanism rattling

im thinking of using dynamat, has anyone got positive results when dynamating their door other than improved sound?

window mounting brackets in the bottom guts of the door are usually part of the rattle problem as well as the felt bits that hold the window in alignment, they tend to wear out and allow window to rattle when it's not fully up.

Also squeaks can be deadened by liberal application of double sided foam tape to rubbing trim areas, works great.

Got a similar problem, but my door rattles only when the window is fully up! Winding it down say 3mm stops the noise, but makes a wind leak, pushing on the carpeted section also stops it. Same deal, re-tightened everything, greased everything, taped the lock-rods, nothing seems to stop it... pinch.gif

does your line have anti intrusion bars welded on the inside of the doors? if so then that could be the problem, they were loose in my 31 where the spot welds had let go (rusted)and allowed the bar to flap around

i had some crazy rattles coming from the drivers side door area. I had already adjusted and tightened everything i could find inside the door.

I even pulled the rear interior trim off to check and secure anything behind there, and replace the bullet plug clip things.

Then i realised the fixed bar on the body where the door latch catches when you shut the door had lost the rubber sleeve/coating.

I wrapped it with electrical tape, and the fkn noise stopped!!!

so check for this if you're still getting rattles.

Fixed my issues.

However, if you put too much on it makes it difficult to open the door. Solution: get genuine door latches/hooks with the rubber on it.

@r32abuser, how much were the genuine door jams?

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
