NickTurnon's 370z Build

NickTurnon

Lets face it, the 370z is loud inside the car. Especially when you have short tails.

I saw the offers for GTMat on the forum and didn't jump on it. I looked up prices for Dynamat, SecondSkin, etc.. and found that they were $$$.

After a bit of research I found a product called Peel & Seal. I can write up a DIY if people are interested. Anyways, I paid $16.99 for 25 ft of it. (I got 2)= $34




First things first, was I read the DIY on how to remove the rear panels. Everything came out really easily. I had the rear gutted in less then 10 minutes. Didn't realize how large it was without the foam pieces and panels.

I took it out for a road test without anything in the trunk and WOW, its like a giant rattle can. Especially when I was downshifting haha!








Sorry about the Red lines...Not sure what happened there.



I tried to get the whole back area as much as possible without going overboard. It took about a roll and a half to do the rear and middle cubby area.

I then did a couple of road tests and realized I needed to do the door panels. I heard a lot of sound coming from the doors.

Door panels are super easy to remove. Just need a little flathead screwdriver, a large philips, and a 10mm socket.






Both doors took about a half a roll. (10-13 feet worth).

Impressions:
Road noise has gone down a bit. I stopped hearing little rocks and stuff under the wheel wells.
No smell like some people stated. When applying, you will smell the tar/rubber stuff.
Exhaust sounds better.
Speakers sound like they are easier to hear and less rattle.

Overall I am very pleased. It was a fun project and I would recommend it to anyone.

Apparently this Peel & Seal stuff works almost identically to dynamat. The main differences are the thickness and probably what its made of. Also peel and seal is not made for sound deadening. Its made for roofers.

Good luck to anyone that wants to try this out! I can answer any questions
