turn the music DOWN

new some one would say that, lol.. it happens all the time even when the music isnt loud, like there is alot of rattling. ive taken the doors apart many times to try and find anything loose but havnt been able to. i put bits of foam tape around on some areas to try and stop vibrations but didnt help much.

Use sound deadening.

If you wanna checkout some pics hit cefiroz.com it's the first article there.

how much does that stuff cost per door?

There are a lot of different brands and types of sound deadening product available. Over here one of the cheapest and most value for money is a bitumen based product made by Bostik. It's about $100 for 10 500mmX500mm tiles. You heat em up to make em soft and flexible them stick to the inside of your panel as there is a peel away sticky side.

Go ask your local panel beater or hardware store if they have anything similar.

This can make a hell of an improvement.

Also check wires and lock/switch cables aren't rattling, zip tie and cover with sponge/foam to prevent rattling.

When I took my door-trims off, I banged on the door and listened for rattles. Half of it was from the door trim itself! Up and under the inside of the trim, where it sits on the window-sill, there are metal sort of hangers/reinforcements.

I had some strips of velcro spare, so I used the furry side, and cut them to length. Now it sits tighter, and hasn't made single sound!

Also, tighten the door-skin... speakers don't need much volume to make that stuff shake, and it sounds like there are shopping bags in the door if they're loose.

ah so its them damn metal hooks! i keep looking at them and think, narrr couldnt be them making all the noise, and then put the foam tape next to them :)

oh and by door skin, u mean the plastic thats stuck in there to stop the water from affecting the door trim, ay?

Nice one, RocketBoy!

Ethan, yeah, that's it! The crappy glue stuff on them has a lot of give, and the door-pods are ported at the rear. All the bass travels through the door, then tries to push the plastic door skin around. It just sits there flapping.

Glad to hear the tape on the metal hooks worked for you! Seems it's not just me, but a common problem that people are experiencing.

just put velcro (the furry side) on the metal hooks and its reduced the vibrations alot.. it doesnt sound like it about to shake apart anymore :angry: .. although there is still vibrations from the rest of the door (dont have sound deadening yet), there not as noticeable.

thanx heaps guys!

Yep, thats pretty much what I did with mine. The R33 have a large access hole that you can utilise to get your arms in and apply SD to the outer door skin (inside of outer door panel), this stop a lot of the large flat surface metal from resonating and help produce clearer and crisper notes in the mid/mid bass region.

I also cover my access hole with 6mm MDF then SD'ed over that when doing the inner skin.

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
