Squeaky Belts - R33 Gtr

Hey guys,

Well after numerous trips to the mechanics with minimal results I'm wondering if anyone here has any answers.

Put simply, got a 1995 R33 GTR, belts started chirping on and off a few months ago, then developed into long harsh squeals for about 30secs-1min when I started up the car. Isn't as bad once the car's warm, or doesn't happen at all.

Got all the belts replaced, was fine for a week then started worse than ever. Took it back to the mechanics, they tightened them (apparently new belts get loose), and was fine for about a fortnight.

In the last fortnight it's progressively been getting worse and worse and I've got no idea what's going on.

I'm wondering if its got anything to do with the bonnet on the car, being a CF one, has some vents and when it rains, I think rain drips through onto the belts, perhaps causing a squeak.

Kept it in a garage overnight the other day though and didn't change the problem....so that's probably not the case.

Anyway if anyone could help me out, maybe if there's any degreasers or something that'd work...

Cheers,

Ash

CRC has an aerosol called belt grip, try that. But I'd be checking that your alternator/a/c compressor/water pump/etc isn't seizing with a bad bearing first.

Also check that your adjustment bolts aren't stripped and/or coming loose.

before you go spraying sticky stuff all over the place you need to work out if the belts are coming loose or if its somthing else. If it is the belts coming loose then it should be easy to check all the adjusters and make sure they are ok. If the belts are tight then it needs to get worked out before it does more damage. Could be a pulley out of alignment or a bearing that is getting tight, I have heard harmonic balancers make funny noises whe they start to move.

Yeah I think I might have to give the dry lube a shot first, then the belt grip stuff. Had a look yesterday and nothing is seizing, although squeaking was definitely coming from the belt around the alternator. It's already tight there so that's not the issue, I assume it's just not wanting to grip 100% for a few seconds.

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
