hey guys i just got back my r33 GTS with rb25det conversion, all has been great with the car and it hasnt missed a beat, however i have encounted this squeeking and first instints was it was the fan belt, i had a look this morning, and it is coming from around the altenator, could this be a possible loose belt? the noise was only came on during start up now, it is constant, i think it is possibly the bearings in the altenator? i have done the old, soap on the inside of the fan belt to use a dry lubricant to try stop the squeak, however it is still contant, any ideas on wat to do or try?

2nd part, is that i want to intall my apexi full auto timer for turbo and N/A, however, just want to know the basics of installation, any problems i may come accross and things to watch out for?

Any help on these two issues would be muchly appeciated!

Cheers, hame :P

easy way 2 check is the slackness in the belt u shouldnt b able to push the belt down more than 1cm. if it is more than that tighten it up and make sure the bolt at the back is toght. mine was a little bit loose and the belt was working loose and squelling. if the noise is still there then the next easy thing 2 do 2 check if it is the alternator is take the belt off completely and start the car up if the noise isnt there thats ur prob. hope that helps

hey man, yeah it think it is a little bit loose! can push down 1cm or little more, what do you mean the bolt @ the back? how do you tighten the fan belt? i'll wait for a reply on this and if this does not work i'll take off the belt and try again.

REGARDING TIMER, do you have to use a turbo timer harness?

if u look at the top of the alternator there will be a long bolt going 2wards the motor that will adjust the belt. along that bolt where it goes into the alternator there will b a 12mm bolt or nut i cant rember wat it is but loosen that then turn the long bolt also a 12mm head to tighten the belt up then make sure that u tighten the first bolt other wise it will work itself loose. u should b able 2 push the belt down about 7 -8mm is a good spot. i will try post a photo of the bolt 4 u.

Not to sure bout the turbo timer mine was already fitted when i bought the vehicle.

excellent i think i know the bolts u talking about the one almost horizontal and the other one faced the other way? i'll see how i go. let u know in 5! a pic would help clarify this however.

yeaha they are the ones i was trying to describe, the pics take a while to load. So which one do i loosen first, then the other bolt i use to tighten the belt correct? ... so ticky to get in there..

yeaha i only have a small spanner, and it too confined in there near the radiator hose, plus i have hybrid fmic and the piping is right in the way! so it a paint:(

okies, i have found a longer spanner, the first bolt (the one u can't see in the second pic of urs, well the head of the bolt) is impossible to turn it stiff as, however the long bolt is eaiser, i have losened the long belt, and the fan belt has become lose..this sounding right?

okies, i am looking for a new altenator now, what is compatible for a rb25det series 2?? Is it an easy bolt on bolt off affair?? Think this may solve my problem!!

Has anyone installed an apexi full auto timer to a r33?

If your current alternator is broken get it rebuilt by an auto electrician.

For info on alternator removal and replacement.

The alternator for all R33 RB25DET either S1 or S2 are both the same.

hey guys i bought the 33gts alternator, looks to be in good condition, small differences are:

the 2 x earths on the back and the major positive wire location, this shouldnt be a problem i dont think.

- turbo one is 80amp

- non turbo is 90amp will this matter?

i installing it as we speak let me know what ya's reakon.

Hame

meh! fine so replies! anyhow, i finshed installing the alternator, started her up! YEAHA!!! no squeeling!! i so happy, she all good again! but is the previous post's questions could be answered then that would be appreciated!! AMP difference. I have tightened up my belts even better then they were before i had the car back, i going to pick up the miss's from tafe, so i'll see how she drives. Thanks for the imput the tutorial was great dOOdz apart from i did not take of my FMIC pipe lol was lazy made it a little more frustrating, i did most of the work from under the car as i found it alot more accesible? anyhow thanks for all the imput guys!

hey ive go the same problem at the moment on my 33. pretty much squeels on startup then goes away, but at night time pretty bad.

i did all the spray lubricant and tighten belts but still same, turns out that at night cos heater and lights on squeels heaps but at day with no lights on its fine. so to test starts squeeling at night so turn everything off except lights and is fine :) bit weird but yeah.

so looks like battery is shagged so gonna recharge it. it nothing changes with the squeeling looks like replacing alt!!

ne one else found this lol

    • 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"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
