this car is 11 yrs old, it was first lowered 2 years ago. everything seems to fall apart whenever i go over big bumps..i can hear squeeking and cracking sounds coming from all sides of the car. sometimes it doesn't squeeks, but sometimes it gets really annoying. my indiglow gauges sometimes dims out by itself, and then comes back up. one side of the stock bose speaker blew out too...

so....how are your interior pieces holding up?

 

great so far with me

im surprised at how well the dash still looks, fantastic if you asked me ! take it easy happy, if you are upset today, how will you feel 10 years from now ?

 

11+ years on stock speakers? wow! those are the first things i replace when I buy a car (even if they were bose). other than that my interior is great.

 

I had to replace the shifter boots, shift ****, and the wood trim near the a/c vents and clock likes to peel. I replaced the wood trim with a good aftermarket wood trim kit once, and 2 years later that one peeled there too (I guess icy cold a/c blowing by a scorching hot wood trim would do that).

Otherwise, everything else is just fine.

Mine's fine. I've painted it twice (rookie hack job first time). What kind of lowering springs did you use happyricefob?

 

i had maxspeed at first, now i'm on tein s-tech

 

Original interior (except for the '03 350Z Bose Stereo), that looks, fits, and feels new -- no squeaks or rattles at all. I just Armour All it once or twice a year (I don't know what the previous owner did), and wash it every month or two.

 

Entire interior feels and looks new. I've always loved the 4th gen dash. I see some people on the .org complain about the quality but I have no idea what the *** they're talking about. And I'm verrrrry picky.

Very little rattles/squeaks. Hopefully even less when the subframe connectors go on...

 

Put in new seats,carpet,dash,speakers, took out ever thing else and painted it. Looks brand new!

 

yeah, rattles used to be hardly noticeable, now im starting to hear them...
on top of that:

-cup holders can be pulled off effortlessly
-left center vent is missing fins, broke when trying to get vents out
-leather wore off of shift ****, bought AE ****
-need new boots badly
-dents and dings on my dash kit everywhere
-drivers seat is dirtier than all the others, its practically a different color (work in a shipyard)

everything else is pretty much good... im surprised my steering wheel hasn't started to wear out in one certain spot yet, it looks new still.. unlike my girl's 99

 

werd......I love the look of my dash, especially with the woodgrain and 5spd...My interior doesn't squeak too much, even for the amounts of times I took it apart...

 

8 yrs/'98 SE, a rattle here 'n there (considering its been in 2 accidents caused by older bro). no huge complaints

 

coupla rattles (most annoying one seems to come from the defroster vents by the windshield) and some of the black coloring is rubbing off the (vinyl?) front doors just below the windows.

 

Lots of rattles and it feels like the cars gonna fall apart sometimes.

 

Do you have pics of the 350 stereo in your 4th gen? I would like to see that.

 

decent amount of squeaks and rattles, dead clock display

still looks awesome though

 

- Absolutely great. My 96 interior looks like it came out of the showroom, except for a little surface cracking on the front seats. And I need to replace the handbrake cover.
The interior is black leather and the grey plush. I cleaned the leather with Turtlewax leather cleaner and I did the plastic parts with Turtlewax "Protect 2000", an old bottle I had lying around. (I have no connection with Turtlewax except as a satisfied customer). The black plastic looked grey before I applied the Protect 2000, and now it is solid shiny black. There are zero squeaks or rattles and the dash still looks perfect.
In fact I only have one problem: what to do about the steering wheel? The leather binding is worn and is letting down the rest of the car really badly.

 

My interior looks great. No real squeaks or rattles either. It'd look even better had I not painted my console so many times...

 

I've got a couple of rattles I need to hunt down, but overall, my car is holding up well. I thought Audi's were going to be so much better sounding inside when I rode in a 99 A4 the other week, and it had it's fair share of rattles as well. That put things into perspective for me, and the few I have will be taken care of whenever I feel like it.

 

'96 241959 miles
no rattles
leather is mint
paint has some dings
only major things replaced have been water pump and clutch

 

95....215,000km....and everything is stilll mint....including the original clutch.

 

nismos:
No, I don't have a picture, nor do I have a digital camera, but I can describe the stereo. I love the ergonomics of it, and its overall look. An in dash 6 disc changer is awesome! What I don't like is that it lights up orange when everything else is white (I know I could change this if I were so motivated, but I am not so motivated), CDs skip a lot when it is cold (I have no idea if this is a common problem with 350Z stereos or if it is a result of getting bumped around in shipping). The big thing about installing this stereo is that its face is just a little bigger than the original and it is not a perfect rectangle. Therefore, I needed to Dremel down the plastic trim piece around the stereo's face. Everything "in back" connected just fine (with the addition of an adapter for a different antenna connection). Hope this helps.

 

Glad I have an I30....no squeeks here and it is real clean, I took the seats out and cleaned everything one day not soon after the purchase looks almost new.

 

97 with 133,xxx miles on it. Very nice except for the rip in the leather of the drivers seat, so I have seat covers. squeeks here and there but it not annoying me yet.

 

My interior is in pretty good shape for how old it is. I have one crack in the rear pillar because I tried to take it off and a few rattles here and there in the rear deck area.

 

very few problems in my oldie. Nissan did a good job making mine. The leather has begun to crack a lot on the drivers side (due to 20 years of having an a.s.s on it). the inside only began to make squeaks and rattle after my dual 12" subs rattled some things loose. Other than that, My interior is pretty good, going on 20 years. guess I am the only one

 

my driver seat is showing the signs of auto-x and track days

 

The e-brake boot is coming apart and the rear deck lid and top of the rear seats are fading, but thats just because the car's never been tinted. Other than that it's held together well.

 

everythin is still good except my window button wood trim is not in 1 piece no more but also my driver and passenger seat are aking its toll..but everythin looks like its straight of the factory

 

Mines fine. A few scratches here, some spots on the paint that can be touched up there, but overall it's great.

My only beef is I got some Liquid Nails on my passenger seat, and there's a little browny spot of crap there now. I could probably work it out with some elbow grease, but I'm too lazy at the moment. Maybe in spring.

 

ROAD NOISE. need i say more ?

 

how do i get the squeaks out from the interior door pillars. The long one in between the windshield and the doors. Those are the only things that rattle in my car.

 

i would try to find the part of the pillar that is rattling and then cushion it with foam weatherstrip... something like this http://www.acehardware.com/product/i...Id=10536348376
it comes in different sizes so you can get some really thin. hope that helps.

 

Armoral might be ok on vinyl but I would never ever use it on leather as it will dry it out and ruin it. I have never used the product on any part of my Maxima and never will.

Mind you I have the car professionally detailed once a year and the interior is still like new.

 

RxR tracks elict some sharp rattles from the front windsheild pillars to the dash console. Most annoying however, are the leather inserts. They rattle like no one's business when the radio is on. Strangely after Nissan replaced my C/V boots the ride is much firmer in front and has caused harsher rattles than I'm used too. A major overhaul with squeek tape is in the immediate future.

 

I have a lot of road noise. I never really noticed it since i used to always have music on but i am really getting into driving without any tunes and just listening to the sound of traffic and my engine rev.

 

Mine has held up really well, even with 3 kids and car seats once in a while (now mostly relegated to the minivan).

The only thing I really need to do is lubricate all the door hinges.

 

everyting is perfect in mine,*Im sure I just jinxed myself for saying that* The only complaint I have in my interior is the top of my steering wheel, it's all chipped off, Nissan's so called leather wheel never seems to stand the test of time, but I hear alot of people have a problem with that. Other than that no squeaks or cracks or nothing!

 

My interior is holding up just fine, Just normal wear and tear.....

As far as looks go, my interior looks pretty nice quality wise, since I've parked to some MUCH newer vehicles with much lower build quality ( not gonna mention names....GM "cough" Ford" ugh" )
