Fast Intentions on NISMO

ohohoh123456 · 02-24-2014, 04:12 PM

Hey guys,

Just installed F.I. on my NISMO. I have a question here: Does your cabin vibrates when you are accelerating?

I have 12''+ Non-res HFC. The drone from below 3.5k rpm is killing the car. The whole cabin vibrates and I can hear the shaking, especially the rear wing section was really singing with the exhaust. I can live with the hiss and the loudness, but the shaking+metal clunks makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

Don't get me wrong, this is a very good sound system. I feel like I'm sitting on a night club's stereo.

My rear resonates on the seat with my car's rear.
Any thoughts? Thanks guys.

update: not vibration, buzzing.

Sounds like my honduh civic back in highschool with its muffler removed. Fun times!

Some dynamat in the hatch will go a long way. Also, keep in mind that the exhaust will tame down a little after the first few 100 miles. Not sure how much you have driven it at this point.

I have a little trunk rattle but not much at all.. it changes with the weather too. more rattle in the cold weather.

If you're hearing clunking and metal-on-metal noises, you need to crawl up under there and see where it's rubbing on either the chassis braces or the evap shield.

I have the same setup as you and got the rattle in the back as well. I pulled the rear hatch plastic and put some one sided foam weather stripping around the perimeter and where the plastic has the step about half way up. The foam I used was 1/4 inch stuff I got from lowes and that did the trick. Once you get 750 to 1000 miles you will notice it mellow a little.

Thanks. I've been trying to figure out how to describe the noise. I think the word is "Buzz". The rear really buzzes starts 1.8k rpm up to 3-3.5k.

I don't know why this word didn't come across my mind sooner.

Hotrodz · 02-24-2014, 10:44 PM

Yup, mine does buzz a little, but if I don't wont to hear it, I just mash the gas....it goes away!

LOL Nismo on raw meat and roids. I'll bet that sumbitch buzzes just shy of lightspeed.
