yeh sounds like the belts, i have the same problem on my 32 when i start it....may just have to get them tightened or may have to replace.

When u have used the car for a while and the engine is all hot, then shut it off, then start it back up again, does it still make the screeching sound? because i have been told it's the belts by the mechanic and mine only screeches when cold, once the engine is hot the screeching stops.

yeap thats the belt!

mine does the same thing, like u said only when its cold, cbf fixing it just do it later lol :rofl:

My R32 is in need of the 100K service but after doing a little research and obtaining some quotes (anywhere from $800 - $1000) i have decided to hold off on it.

The car is now currently at 113K's :laugh:

donations any1? :rofl:

i have the same problem in my r33. but when i start it up, u can vaguely hear the screeching sound. rev it up in neutral, and the screeching noise get worse. i drive down the road for a while in gear and noise continues, but, when i chuck it in neutral the noise goes away. then once i put it in gear again the noise returns.

and sometimes, the noise will be there, the same sh#t as above will happen, then it will go away for a couple of minutes, then come back again.

i took it to my mechanic and asked him to check the belts, which he did, and he said the problem was fixed. but the noise is still there, and happening for longer, only on cold starts though

hmmm yeah only happens when the engines cold, and also one more question atm my engine the dip stick thing and the dip stick tube is missing but something is jammed into it i was wonderin ghow to get that thign out? or is there anotehr alternative way in checking oil levels thanks?...i just noticed as i bought the engine and got it put it....mitchy didn't know this as well so im assuming its the previous previous owner of the engine

Cheers

i have exactly the same problem, but only last for 2 seconds even on a very very cold morning

lol this may sound noob, but which belts? timing belt?

find someone with a mig welder, seal whatever it is with the thickest grease you can find (I recommend high temp wheel bearing grease) to seal the dipstick tube and stop crap falling in to the sump, and then get your mate with the welder to tack a piece of rod to the obstruction. You could even ask him to weld a basic tee handle on top and then start yanking and pulling.

Or, you could try and source a new dipstick and tube from a wrecker and get someone to use a oxy torch to veeeeery gently de-braize the dipstick tube from the sump (or block, cant remember which one it goes in to) and just replace it with a new one?

It goes without saying that this would a lot easier acheived whith the engine out of the car, but doable if its already in.

hope this helps :O

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
