Hey all,

I am new to this forum as I have just bought a skyline after being a rotor boy for the past 5 years.

I have purchased a r34 gtt manual jap import. It seems to make a noise when the car starts up... but then stops after about 5 seconds.

The noise sounds like the hood is open and the metal stand is making the noise... if that makes sense.??

I have seen that ppl are using wd40 and replacing the belts etc... would this just be a belt related problem??

cheers,

Nick

What kind of noise is it?

Is it a squeal?

Is it a clatter?

Does it not happen when the car has been warmed up?

Without knowing more info, it might just be a belt. In that case, you can spray just a little WD40 on one belt and see if it stops. Stop the engine > start it again > see if it's silent. The WD40 is just a temp measure > check and replace the belt if necessary (if it's cracked, frayed or not sitting flush in it's pulleys.

If it's a clatter, you can get a 30cm wooden dowel and put one end on parts of the engine (with the other at your ear). Valve lifters?

Congrats on your purchase. How long ago did you take ownership? Was it a dealership? If it was & it's recent, could they look at it for you?

Hey its a squeel... and it only come on when i start the engine for 3 secons or so...

I believe it is a belt related problem.. mayb loose or old? but im worried because it goes away and doesnt come back until i start it again..

(I guess thats a good thing :mrt: lol...)

Generally only happens when car engine is alwready warm... ??

Hey.. nah its not an armarold problem cos he didnt shine it up or anything...

One of the belts seems loose.. possibly the timing belt? the top one of the r34 ... ?

A mate of mine said it could be a water pump bearing... ? any help guys.. it only stays on for a small time then goes until i start again..

seems like when i start it up the volt meter Fluctuates with the noise then stays stable... could this imply that the alternator belt could be loose??

help plz. :P

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
