We will therefore begin with a trunk noise on your Nissan Pulsar induced by dirt accumulated on your joints, lock for example. Indeed, it is plausible that on a car that is already a few years old and whose cleaning is not always a top priority or that the roads used are not very clean that dirt collects at the trunk gasket. This problem causes a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To check if you are in this circumstance, open the trunk of your Nissan Pulsar, check the state of the gasket that runs around the entire tailgate and clean it with a wet/soap cloth, dry the whole thing and try to close the trunk and take a dentred road to see the impact. If this is not the case, continue to the other hypotheses that will probably give a solution. It is plausible however that you have a trunk noise on your Nissan Pulsar that is linked to other sources such as shock absorbers, do not hesitate to read this content page on the noises at the back of a Nissan Pulsar.

Second possibility, you may also, over time, knowledge a locking system that has taken up some play. And this is one of the most potential possibilities. Indeed, knowing a trunk noise on your Nissan Pulsar is very frequently linked to this problem. Several solutions are existing to you subject to the level of play you have with your lock. The first is that sometimes the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the system with thick grease is sufficient to resolve the problem. Secondly, it is also plausible that you really have a lot of play on your lock and that each time the trunk “jumps”, in which case you would have to remove the cover that will allow access to the lock (inside the trunk). Then, using torx screws, you unscrew the striker attached to the threshold, just push it back a little towards the inside of the trunk and tighten it again. Remember to check the centering of the striker in regards to the trunk lock. If after examining the trunk of your Nissan Pulsar closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, replicate the procedure by pushing the striker less.
Noise in my trunk Nissan Pulsar : Rivet following plate change in the trunk/ bumper
Finally, one of the last possibilities. It is that following a license plate change you were unfortunate and that a piece of rivet fell backside your plate. Indeed, when a plate change is done, to take off the old one the procedure used is to drill the existing rivets in order to put out the license plate. Unfortunately, it can happen that part of the rivet falls into the hole of the bumper and it will therefore wander inside the bumper and can induce an annoying noise. To check that it is this problem you are experiencing, and that you have a trunk noise on your Nissan Pulsar linked to a rivet, you will need to check that it is in the tailgate open it and stir it to define the noise. If this is your situation, you will have to take out the linings from the trunk to remove it. Finally, if it is your bumper, it is in this rarer and more disturbing situation, you will have to take off the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
