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

X2 , u can get this belt grip stuff but it only a stop gap

f**ken sweet! il try fixing it myself tomorrow.

the belt it VERY tight, i think? i dont know really as i have nothing to compare it too...apart from my gf's n12 pulsar?

il try losening it, then tightening it, see what works best it carnt be too hard.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
