Hah yeah I guess so. I don't have one yet, had a 33 GT-R but sold that while we concentrate on the house. An R34 GT-R is in the 3-4yr plan.
Wouldn't mind some personal plates for it. But not something stupid lik SIKR34 or something rice like that.
This is kind of my point also, though I didn't have the technical understanding, as I was pointing out that oil-control had been listed as an issue and that comes down to the builder.
I still think he's at fault here.
Yep tight belt will cause that or the AC comp has a failing bearing. The tight belt could cause this noise as well though and could also cause the bearing to fail if you leave it too long.
Keep fiddling, you're getting somewhere
You should try and tension it evenly at all corners. Is the cover warped or something? Are they the standard screws holding it in place? You shouldn't have anything fouling on the cover. The noise you describe sounds more like bearing stress than contact with the belts but contact is much more likely/ Sure there's no marks inside the cover anywhere?
Le us know how you go.
Depends on the controller. The serious electronic ones have their own solenoid.
If you're just using a bleed style one then the solenoid is still required... I think
