i have the same prob, but only with my left speaker, i found when the left window is up it stops the vibration slighty, and now when i been working on my car puttin the new system in, the speaker was actually loose from the pod

hope this helps slighty

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.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
