Modernizing my Nissan S13 Hatch with the BEST Sound Deadening Material! (4K)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- After going back on forth on adding sound deadening to the S13, I decided to go full send and orders a ton of Second Skin products. In this video I get most of the Damplifier Pro mat down through the main portion of the car and start laying down the Luxury Liner Pro, which will block the sound.

Even with the car basically torn down to a shell you somehow fell into the "while I'm in there" trap... I've been working through my own for a really long time now... It's a horrible disease that can really extend the time it takes to complete a project car!
Man, this hit's home... Haha I really did though! And it definitely must be regulated so we actually get to enjoy these projects at some point
Your attention to detail and desire to do it right is appreciate by someone who shares your sickness.
It's the only way!
Damn, definitely jealous. I wish my car was this well kept. Definitely the cleanest hatch and slicktop too
Thank you man, I feel so blessed to own this thing!
Love the attention to detail i get the same way when i build my cars its a double edge sword sometimes tho but other times it is worth the extra work and stress lol
Thank you man! It's great to know we're not alone, isn't it? Haha but yeah it's alway worth it to go the extra mile!
this is how i wish my red hatch went, sadly while i built mine i didnt have the knowledge and funds until near the end, sold it and moved onto a chaser but love the car!
Oh man, I feel this... but we live and we learn! I had a zenki S14 previously that could have definitely been saved but like you said, I didn't have the funds or knowledge I do know and just went about it ALL wrong. There's some videos of that thing way back on the channel haha.
LOVE the 240 content. Please keep it up. much love ❤️
Thank you! Don't worry, I'm just getting started! There's plenty more to come
You always choose perfect background music for your videos it all goes so well together 🔥 great editing bro 😎
Thank you man! I try to make it an enjoyable experience all the way through and music plays a huge part in that!
I love what you are doing with your 240 and your videos make for excellent tutorials. I'm in the process of replacing the carpet in my '89 coupe. After watching your video I feel like I know where the traps lie. The part of the video showing the dash removal was most helpful. It would be great if you made a separate video (slowed down of course) on the dash removal, dealing specifically with the A/C vents and defroster vents. You mention running into trouble with what I believe was the removal of the defroster vents on the top of the dash. I know these get more fragile with time. I assume you broke one or both in the process. It would be interesting to hear your recommendations on how or how not to remove the vents. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks.
Thank you, glad you’re enjoying the videos! Feel free to message me on instagram with any questions, always happy to help where I can. And the defrost vent was the only challenging part, but if you remove it from the center where it splits you should be good. I tried to remove it from the outside she broke one of the bars in the center on the driver side.
@@avengednick Thank you. That is helpful. I’ve had good luck spraying a little silicone lubricant around clips and being patient.
Illumaesthetic is going to be selling remanufactured defroster vents for us(S13 owners) so don't feel too bad if you break / broke some of yours.
Im OCD like you. I love cleaning/restoring stuff. Even stuff you don't see. Most people don't get it.
You can say that again. We're definitely a rare bunch! I genuinely get enjoyment out of the cleaning/restoration process
This is a beautiful build.
Thank you!
@@avengednick your attention to details is just amazing. Any one of your cars can easily win an award at any event. Those S chassis should be at SEMA next year so everyone can enjoy what you have built.
@@rangelminaya damn, thank you man I’m flattered! I’m trying to figure out a way to get the S13 to SEMA next year.
@@avengednick when you order the wiring harness for the car buy it from wiring specialties. Send the videos of the build. I am sure they will fall in love with it. That might be your ticket into any show like SEMA or PRI
Excited to do this in my s13 !! Not to far behind from you !!
Lets go, that's what I love to hear!
more s chassis content and tmr is friday its gonna be a good day keep up with the good videos man hope to see it on the street or at a meet
Hell yeah! Hope you have a great Friday my dude
@@avengednick like wise man, I do photography on the side, hopefully we’ll be able to meet one day and take some photos 🙏🙏
Yesterday I found someone else that watches your videos small world
That makes me so happy! Building a little community here
Not trying to be a Negative Nancy, and some might disagree with me but, why wouldn't you remove the factory sound deadening before applying the new stuff? It isn't hard and you would benefit from some weight savings, maybe not a whole lot but, some! Regardless, i love these cars and i love where you're going with it!
Good question, my thought was it can only add to the dampening. Would it have saved weight? Yeah, but that’s why we add horsepower haha
I thought the same thing also because the factory stuff likes to break apart in cold weather dry i e it remove it paint floor then do this sound deadning probly woulda cured my ocd lol

@@avengednick Weight reduction is a bonus (think something in the order of 20kg), but the main reason to remove the oem heat-activated tar-based tiles is to get proper adhesion, the same way the vendor of the new material recommends rolling it into every nook and cranny.
The new butyl tiles and the oem tar-based tiles both aim to dampen panel resonance by adding mass to the panel, but you're only adding mass to the panel if the product is actually bonded to the panel. If it's improperly adhered or not adhered at all, it simply acts as a weight sitting on top of the panel and doesn't increase the mass of the panel itself.
The oem tar sound deadener was originally applied using a heat gun, so it has a lot of drawbacks beyond the smell. Having done this job myself, some oem tiles could be peeled off in the hot weather and all the tiles in the boot separated when some degreaser I was carrying leaked and damaged the tar. I've also heard of them being peeled off in cold weather without the use of dry ice.
I can't blame you for just getting on with the job; removing the oem tiles and cleaning off the residue is an all-day affair. If you're ever in the position to do this sort of job again, get 20kg of dry ice (it evaporates as you use it), freeze and smash the oem tiles off, then get a citrus-based cleaning solution (usually has a name like 'goo gone') to clean off the residue. The guys that recommend lacquer thinners haven't tried enough solvents, as it barely works and destroys any glove you use, same as paint thinners, acetone, etc. Citrus cleaners absolutely demolish the tar residue and don't harm disposable gloves.
Hi bro,can we do sound deadening (Damping) in winters.??
I did! It’s probably a bit more malleable in warmer temps but I just had some heaters going in the car while I worked and had no issues
@@avengednick ok thnx bro.
I just got a 92 s13 hatch, any chance you’d be able to email me a list of parts, information, brands you used or websites, hell or even if you have extra parts from your build maybe help out with that?
Congrats on the new car! And it’s a pretty extensive list and I don’t have it typed up anywhere. But as far as parts go I buy my OEM parts from Nissan Parts CC or Nizmo Parts Plug. If I can’t get it stateside and have to order it from Japan, RHD Japan or Nengun are my go to. Aftermarket parts Drift HQ or TF Works. Hope that helps!
