Help!

I've got issues with my R33 series 1 , I bought the car at just about 100.000kms it has run perfectly until now.

some of the issues I'm experiencing is that it makes a grinding noise (almost like an electric car buzzing) while driving Ive checked driveshaft in case it was hitting exhaust

and there was nothing ive checked oil levels and they were normal, Ive looked under the engine bay and i discovered that the PS pump leaks and also my belts squeals,

Im doing it pretty tight at the moment and dont have much money for a mechanic, so im just wondering how bad is this problem and how it can be resolved as cheap as possible.

there is now steering shakes or jitters nor are there noises from exhaust.\

I HOPE SOMEONE CAN SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS AS ITS BUGGING ME AND THIS IS MY ONLY DAILY DRIVE

I will put pictures up soon of the engine bay from below.

Hey mate, you could be having a wheel bearing problem possibly, the noise usually comes and goes depending on which way the vehicle is moving, ie: when loading the wheel with a bearing issue the noise is louder, when unloading the noise disappears.

if the steering wheel vibrates/feels 'notchy' as you turn then it is most likely caused by a dodgy power steering pump. check that you have enough fluid in there in case it is just a low fluid issue.

also you don't want your belts super tight. just tight enough, otherwise you will shag the bearings in the pulleys.

No mate no steering problems whatsover noise is coming from bottom right hand side pulley i think its the a/c tension pulley???

can that be easily replaced??? I've downloaded the workshop manual for rb25de and it shows how to pull apart but i want to know if theres any tips on how to do it easier or what to look out for before proceeding?
