Gday fellas

Havent taken my car out for a while from the garage, but over the last couple of weeks im geting this noise.

It sounds like engine noise and is coming from the engine bay its like a squeeling noise and comes and goes as i Accellerate ( funny thing is it only turns on when i turn on the Air conditioning and stops th eminiute i turn off the AC button)

On another note the Airconditioning is no longer cool ( Do you think the noise has anything to do with the Re-gass being nescesary) ?

The part that weirds me out is Engine noise as i understand is usually stereo related, but i have no sound in the car, the deck is out, and so are the amps, so just speakers sitting in the sockets with wires attached and nothing on the end ....

either way weirderd out

could be that the compressor is stuffed and the squealing is the compressor seizing up enough that the belt is slipping. this could also be the reason why the air con is no longer cold. or it could simply be that it needs regassing (to make it cold again, but not to get rid of the squeal).

Thanks Guys

The compressor idea is a good one,

The squeeling, is not like a belt squeeling noise, it sounde like electronic engine noise,

maybe this is also due to the compressor failing...

will check the belt this evening

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
