hey guys i need some major help...

(i posted this in mechanical but nobody is helpful at all) anyways... here goes:

every time i drive, EVERY TIME... whether it be slight acceleration to soft and/or hard braking AND when i go on soft bumps i hear this strange squeaking sound coming from my right hand side...

let me try to explain it a tiny bit better...

it's like a squeaking/squealing/whistling sound that is related to bumps in the road like also similar to when a tyre is flat but the flat tyre can be heard on a stand still...

this is only heard when car is in motion and has been like this for around a week now

i HAD an idea that it could be one of my air screw things because i only have 3 out of the 4 on my wheels so one of my wheels is missing the air screw thing (you know, the one you take off to pump air into the tyres) yeah and thought it was that, i changed it from the back to the front (still on the right hand side) and didn't notice a difference in the volume, in saying that i haven't changed it to the left but i don't think it could be that either...

it's also a similar sound to where your locknuts are loose and the further you drive the looser they get, they have that weird metal on metal scraping sound... i've checked my nuts, they seem to be quite tight (LOL that sounded quite funny but please keep the jokes to yourself) so i don't think it's them either...

ANYBODY have a theory they can throw at me?

i am just hoping it's not my suspension or my wheels as i suspect and that i just seriously don't want to find myself losing a wheel on the freeway or whatever during peak etc. well losing my wheel or having my car fall flat on its hole because of it...

any guidance would be insanely appreciated, i'm stressing here!

cheers,

Andrew

P.S: i have an unknown suspension setup, car was brought from japan basically as is, yet to find out what suspension it has... ta

Yeh, its something around there. Did you want to bring it over and I'll pull ur wheel off and have a look for you. I was thinking something along the lines or bearings or something. Altho I dont think Skylines have any grease nipples? Txt me if ur interested mate. I'll see what I can do.

no no, its a gerbal aint it Andrew...lol... such a funny word!!

Joo lost ya gerbal innit!!

yeah prob suspension dood...

BTW, ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO TIMING ON 34... NEED IT DONE... FREE OF COURSE...LOL

Another thing that happened with my R33 was my intercooler piping was slightly touching the inside bit of the front bar at the bottom, where they had cut in order to fit it in the first place, so was making this sweaking sound while driving and when going over bumps etc, have you got an after market FMIC?

try playing with the little lock pins in the centre of ya wheel... i got it once, i was the only one that could hear it too... played with em, as in pulled them out and put em back in so they were tighter.... worked for me, spray a little crc, sweet as!!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
