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.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
