Annoying Squeaking Sound

Hi,

I have a 1996 gtst and I am getting an annoying squeaking noise which is either coming from the altenator, fan (std clutch fan) or maybe the waterpump. I know this because the noise stops after I remove the belt linking these items.

When I spin these items by hand I cannot hear any abnormal noises and the squeaking is more constant when the car is cold.

I am not sure if this is a sign that the clutch fan is on its way out, but it is really annoying.

I have sprayed the altenator area with WD40 but the noise is still there.

If anyone has had a similar problem and found a resolution please post here and let me know.

Thanks

No, I havn't tried replacing the belt as it was changed 12 months (approx 10kKms) ago and still looks in good condition.

I am thinking it could be coming from the Altenator pulley as I removed the fan and there was still a noise. Apart from spraying it with WD40 is there anything else I can do?

CircleLights, I think your problem could be a loose belt.

There is a tensioner on the altenator, one on the pulley under the car and on on the power steering pump (could be A/C) for the three belts.

No, There is no water/coolant leaking from the water pump, but I might cheack it again anyway.

I think i may have the same problem.

As suggested its a slipping belt & its most likely the power belt, just needs re-tensioning.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
