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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
