Hmmmm.... for a while now i have this really annoying squeal at 6,000 rpm.

I thought at first it could be the fan belts, or worse, the water pump.

Before i take it to the mechanic.... I'd love some advice ....has anyone else had this problem...

would a dose of wd40 help.....

or is the mechanic the best option here.....

Cheers

Check the gasket from your exhaust manifold to cyl. head. Also check that no bolts have snapped off. My 32 was squealing under load and I took it to the mechanic & the conclusion was an exhaust leak. I checked my exh manifold and 3 studs are snapped off and now my exh. manif. gasket is blown :P I've got to get the broken studs drilled out and get it re-tapped.

Can anyone give me the name of a company in Bris that could do it for me at home?

It's not coming from the passenger seat... ? :D

I would quiten down your belts, that will at least make it easier to track the noise down it wasn't the belts. Failing that, it could be a gasket (as has been mentioned) or any of your ancilaries (alt, a/c, water pump etc) or possibly a shagged/overboosting turbo. Get under the car and listen for noises. If it's a shagged bearing somewhere (water pump, aircon etc) the noise will still be there, but it'll probably be either much more quiet, or it'll be a rumble instead of a screech. Without more info it's very hard to guess accurately :D Hey, there's an oxymoron for ya :D

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
