Recommended Posts

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... ??

that would be the belt slipping and then heating up and gripping (similar how racing slicks get more grip when they are hot). i would tighten the belts a touch and see if it goes away

Thanks mate,

I will try that and get back 2 you :D

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

    • A million years later, searching for something else I posted, I was reminded of this thread. I eventually bought a new gauge. Put it in using the same probe (which has been installed the whole time stopping the exhaust gas from coming out the hole) and.... normal service has been resumed. The old gauge was definitely broken. /semi-pointless closure.
    • They're available from Nissan! I was able to buy a GTR (R33) one.. relatively* recently. Perhaps this stopped now but I bought mine ... relatively recently. I believe the 300ZX one has a different knee-point which is more rear biased, which I think the HFM one echos.
    • Hey Team, A bit to unload here. Hello from New Zealand I have a 2009 Nissan Skyline 370GT ( Type SP ) Auto 7 Speed, that I've had since 2022 and have loved the car since. Its painted in its factory QAB ( White Pearl ) with the Impul front lip and rare boot lid/spoiler with woodgrain interior. Mods since I've bought it and installed: Stillen Gen 3 Long Tube Intakes Motordyne Shockwave Catback Exhaust JDM Skyline Taillights Fake carbon spoiler and front grill ( Will be taking off.... its cringe ) VR30DETT Transmission from the Q50/Q60 to hold up to 550 Foot pounds of Torque ( 753 nm ) reliable  Currently I plan to turbo the car and have all the parts needed ( Photo Included ), I have my tuning day set on August 8th and choosing EcuTek as my tuning platform. Two of my work colleagues has their 370Z ( Manuel ) and 370GT coupe ( Type SP - Manuel ) also turbo'd and they have inspired me to get it done I have prepped quite a wee bit for this, as I had done the VR30 transmission swap over to this car so that I can achieve my HP goals without torque being an issue. I've taken quite a cautions route, as im always thinking about the safety as well as performance with my build, I'd rather do it properly and not cut corners etc etc. Any who, I've recently picked up the AutoStrada cruise control kit with all the included cables/wires/instructions. I've been hella researching around and can't find much on the integration that it has with the ECU and/or system. the only reason why im asking is, because I'm getting EcuTek and one of them RaceRom features allows the ability to switch maps via the cruise control function, which I am currently in the grey area if this would add-on via the Canbus will allow me to switch maps or have the option to use Cruise Control to begin with ( showing up on the instrument cluster to advise Cruise Control being set etc etc )  Because of my model being Type SP, Cruise Control on these models was never an option from factory unfortunately.  Anyone here that is able to shed some light on if the Cruise Control via AutoStrada gives OEM ability over the cruise control. Would love and appreciate any response and/or assistance with this, also happy to answer any question about my build and ill try pitch in where I can. Warm Regards,  
    • I thought the only (new) BM57 that was readily available was the one that was a BM57 but with the wrong bias. HFM or someone's?
