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.

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

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
