Sound Deadening??

[Prodrifter86]

Well lads ! just wondering if the sound deadening was taken of my skyline would it make it lighter? and does it act as an insulation??? i took out a bit today where the back seats are but i dont ill bother taken out the rest!

[way2fastforu]

if ya took it all out it'd make it lighter but nothin ya'd really notice drivin it.

[Prodrifter86]

ya? might just tidy what i have done and paint it black and leave it!

[Robbie Daly Ps13]

Fail lad......! If your gonna do it do it right......! Pain in the ass to do but do it....! When do ya ever see a proper race car with sound deadining....!

[Prodrifter86]

nah fuk that robbie! it just the back of the tunnel! and i want to get out in the car more so i aint doing it all!!

[eileen]

^^^ wat robbie said. if your gonna do it, do it properly caus it will totally shite if its done half-heartedly. is does weigh a lil bit alright, but only a human notices lol. a car wont feel the difference and thats what counts. its just for looks imo. i left mine in and painted over it. looks ok, but its a road car too so i wanted to have it as quite as possible lol.

[Robbie Daly Ps13]

Don't be a lazy bastard.......:p

[vtecpete]

it doesnt make an awful weight difference, few kilos thats it.
but if the car is being stripped out and painted it looks better taken out. i spent hours stripping it once

[grimix180]

its a horrible job if u can get ur hands on some liquid nitrogen it makes it easy the colder it is the easier it comes off

[pole drift]

the stuf behind d dash on d firewall also works as an insulator from d heat so be prepaired for the temperature in d car to rise.

[DaveM-sport]

I don't mind doing it at all. Done my own drift car recently in about 2 hours for everything including the bulkhead and engine bay thick insulation with a heat-gun and scraper on the sticky stuff inside the car:)
Then some thinners later to clean it all off and grind off any little brackets for wiring or anything before painting.


Liquid nitrogen is the job for it but its hard to get.
I once found out accidentally brake-fluid does a good job of it too when spilt a bottle of it in a shell I was working on :o


If your making any sort of a decent track or drift car, remove it! It only takes abit of patience and is one of the things that are completely free.

I took 12-20kg of it out of my car. You'd pay an awful lot of money for saving that kind of weight in bonnets or other panels!

[Prodrifter86]

Yeah it only took 2 fukin hours to the bit I did but way I was tinking of doing the whole back seat and painting it for the time being???

I'm just doin it Matt black anyway
and yeah robbie I got lazy but me back was in bits so I had to stop !!!! Haha

Well... you get pretty quick at it after doing 6 or 7 cars over the last year or two:o:rolleyes:

It can be harder to get off in some types of cars than others too though.

Mine came off easy enough only for my back was hurting so I had to stop for a half an hour haha. But I dno I just put the bucket and harness and I don't feel like taking it out again... But might just do the rear seat part as there most visable

[Dunnedriftin]

Dont do things in halfs, finish it!! I did my in the R32 and its a cnut of a job, expecially when we had the warm weather... Just get it done and it will look the job after

[Prodrifter86]
