Hey,

When i seem to start the car, every now and then there is a high pitch squeal, it goes away after a a min or two, but when the car is under full throttle the noise comes back only while the accelerator is down?

not sure weather the timing belt would be causing this or its just a different loose belt?

any help before it goes to the mechanics again :P

my money is on the alternator belt. easy enough to nip up yourself. that also runs the water pump so dont want that slipping and breaking. just inspect it isnt polished and cracked then do it up a bit

Yeah it is a high pitch squeal/ whine

If it is taking a lil to start when the key is turned that would be the alternator or startermoter?

Drove perfectly till I got the thing home 2weeks ago now shit starts to go!!

Reviving an old thread for the sake of not creating a new one.

I also have this loud, high pitched squeal at startup, but it goes away after a minute or two. All belts are tight and in good condition.

I can't seem to figure out what it is and I don't want to start replacing belts prematurely. Does anyone have any ideas of what else I can check?

Probably the alternator belt because the starter motor has drained some of the battery and the alternator is recharging it. If it squeals on every start up then take the belts off one by one to find the squealing belt.

You didn't spill any oil on them did you?

Won't taking each one off individually be bad (even for a short while) since some of them run essential items?

It sounds like a small pig being stabbed

Not the ancilaries. Cars can run without power steering and a/c and the alternator. Its advisable not to run the engine for too long with out the water pump, probs best to do this one first when the car is cold.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
