squeeling noise on startup

[^DRIFTIN skyliner^]

yea i had that problem once an it was a loose belt does it only happen when you have had your car on acceseries for a little while?>?

[Craved]

NA_R33, tell your mate to check the aircon compressor, mine used to do that too, turned out to be a metal plate rubbing on the bearing!! or it's cactus!

[Lanky]

Mine squeels like a piggy when I start from cold.

This has only occured after I had all my belts (except PS) changed.

I just can't rev her until it stops

[FunkBrother]

I think I may have the same problem.

The timing belt + a few others was changed about 7000 ks ago. It does only seem to happen when it's cold.

I do notice that the oil light is on while it squeels. The squeeling and oil light both stop/turn off at the same time. I thought it may be the oil but I changed it 2k k's ago and am using a full synthetic 5w-40 oil.

Water pump...... old falcon's and some smaller car's that make that sound.... it's usually the starter OR the water pump.

I dont know if skyline's have a water pump set up using the belt's.... or if it is independant....

but it's a thought

Mine did this too..  grease up your shaft boyo!

lol

When you greased up the shaft did you do it or a mechanic? Was it hard to take out the starter??? Did it take long?

my car is haveing the same problem but i know its the starter and i will be greasing the shaft tomorow is it the starter motor shaft or the solenoid

it will be the driveshaft , take the starter out put it on the bench vice ( secure it on the vice ) then get a 12 volt battery put - on the vice or starter body and the +where the + ( thick cable) was when it was on the car . with a screwdriver touch the + pole with the solinoid then it should push the drive out and spin .

if the bush at the end hasn't got free play just grease it then spin it so the grease goes in it , dont put to much grease on it though as it will spew everywhere .

when you put it back it should be ok but dont be surpriced if after a few months it does it again .

check the ring gear teeth and the drive teeth for wear , damage as well .

starters on the gtst are easy to remove on the gtrs are a lot harder ( hard to get the top bolt )

cool thanks mate

Mine has started squealing as I have just had 100,000 kms service and all belts changed.

Never did it before. Yesterday it squealed both on acceleration and changing gears to take a corner. Very Loud. Slowed down and took it easy.

I noticed powdered rubber on the alternator. Tried some belt grip sray which has fixed it when accel - decel but not on startup for a second or two,.

Im a bit worried it may be my alternator packing up.. Belt feels quite tight. Could it be the alternator is getting harder for the belt to turn or something???

if the belts are all tight then you may have problems , to check take the belts off one by one then you will find out what it is .

when the belt is out try to free spin the alt it should spin freely and no noise .

my 33 used to have some strange sounds from engine bay when cold start, it sounds like "ke ke" and goes away in 3-5 seconds, however once i replaced the belts and water pump, the strange sounds never come up again~

Try checking your aircon pulley which is located at the bottom of ur engine. it might need to be replaced

What About The Tensioner Pulley Bearings For The Cam Belt???

There Are A Lot Of Things That Can Make Squealing/squeaking Noises - A Lot Of Bearings On The Front Of A Skyline.... Water Pump, Air Con, Pwr Steering Pump, Alternator, Starter Motor, Cam Shaft Pulleys. Vvt Can Make A Bit Of A Noise As It Pumps-up Too If Left For A Week Or So.

Bit Of A Worry Really Especially If You're Not Really Mechanically Minded - A Lot Of People Change The Cam Belt But Overlook The Idlers. My R33's Weren't Much Chop After 80000k's.

A Snapped Timing Belt Wouldn't Make Your Day Very Nice.

ok i got the starter out and every thing looked really dry and black just carbon i guess i greased up the shaft and looked at the solenoid it to was dirty so i put some penitrating oil on it i used some aircraft quallity grease on the shaft hopefully it does the trick for longer than a couple of weeks but all works fine now thanks mate

it should be ok , if you cleaned everything but dont be surprised if does it again on cold starts but not as bad as before .

Same noise here.....grease the starter motor shaft. Different noise to the belts, hard to describe but 2 outa 5 times it does it.
