i think its the fanbelt/engine belt thing or something im not sure, i looked down at it the other day and it says "mitsubishi"??? is that right?!?

i have tried spraying it with wd-40 a few times it works for a day or so then it squeeks again, its really loud and really anoying it has been pissing me off for along time, anyone know anything about it or how to fix it?

after driving the car for 3-4 minutes it stops, when its cold its really loud, im guessing this has to do with something heating up and expanding or someshit i dont know

its a 97 r33 non turbo.

Yeah i had something like that too but the squeaking only happened when i depressed the throttle. And after pressing and depressing the throttle a few times when cold the sound disappears. Only happens ocassionally though :P

mine does it after its been sitting for a while (overnight, maybe 6hrs+) but not if the car has been running slightly earlier.

^^^ mine is exactly the same

the reason why i put wd-40 on it is because i called up the place where i got my car from and the guy told me too, as i know nothing about cars.(hell i dont even have a toolbox) i did what he said.

but anyway sweet as il book it in at a place my gf gets her car serviced, aparently they are really honest and cheap...something hard to come by these days when dealing with mechanics

edit:thanks for your help guys, this problem has been pissing me off for months its so anoying waking up getting in the car half asleep and then having to listen to an ear pearcing screech, and even worse when you have to go somewhere late at night (maccas or something) and you live at the bottom of the court and wake up every single neighbour.

i'd say if its squeeking really loudly like high pitch styles then its too tight - hence when u spray WD on it the sound goes away

had that problem with my rb20 when i first got it

there's an adjuster in front of the wheel - from memory it is a horizontal screw with an L-type bracket on it. depending which belt i'm, - just going from the top of my head. loosen that just a little bit and you should be right.

If you're not confident doing it then just take it to a mechanic. a decent one shouldn't charge you much if anything for it.

cheers hope it helps

Its the alternator belt... mine did this too..

Its really easy to adjust.. If you're near Rosanna i can do it for you...

However if the belt is old and cracked.. its time for a new one

Here you go

1) Loosen bolt 1 with a 12mm socket or spanner

2) Tighten bolt 2 with same spanner

3) Check belt tension (if its tighter you've done it right)

4) Tighten bolt 1 again

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
