I know the suspension being stiffer is a large contributor but I'm wondering if other Nismo owners have the same issue. For the most part the car is quiet but over rough pavement or on the fwy where there are sometimes undulations rather than being smooth the back hatch will rattle. While I know the roads being not the best is part of the issue as well I will say I never had this problem in my touring sport.

If I push down on the hatch while already closed it does seem to have some slight play to it. Can the hatch be adjusted to close tighter? Is this just a normal thing for the Nismo due to the suspension? Thanks
Do a search, someone on here a little while back said they tightened up the slight play in the hatch mechanism and it stopped the rattle.
