hmmmm, last night i started my 32 up to take it for a drive. Have not driven it since i filled it up while fuel was cheap (not that its not cheap now, but cheaper...lol) nothing noticed them, nothing heard.

last night there was a winy sound coming from the front of the engine near the belts, didnt have a torch to check it out but it started when i first started it up....... goes away when a rev it a little but back when idle.....

apart from taking it to trojan and get a service and to check it out, anyone got any ideas or had a similar problem.......

my air con needs regassing which hopefully will get done this week so im thinking it could be the aircon pulley..... im gonna check it out today but just thought id put it out there and see if anyone has a crystal ball that might be able to help me......lol

cheers

Lol, could be lots of things such as:

- One of the three belts (A/C, P/S, Alt) slipping or worn

- One of the pulleys worn

- Clutch fan problem

- Engine problem

- Timing belt tensioner

- Low oil (p/s, engine)

Can you be more specific?

    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.
