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.

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

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
