i found the culprit if you have a gates timing belt. Its 1000% the cause, its because theyre such a tight fit, therefore you have to put very little pressure on the tensioner to get the noise away. ild say 95% of the noise is gone i can only hear it if i park on stop on an incline not sure why but thats what i noticed.

I took the balancer off more than 5 times just to get the right tension. check timing lines, then tension a little from its current position,put the balancer back on and tighten maybe 50Nm if you have a torque wrench(or enough just to start it for 3-5secs) on without bottom cover.When you tighten it has to be in like 5th gear. Then Start the car max 4secs of else the belt will slide off dont rev it. The noise will get louder or lesser depending on how much tension there is. Repeat the process in bold, my final tension setting was about 3mm away from the rest position with the belt on.

Also check after each start of the engine to see if the belt is coming off.Gently tap with a rubber mallet or something soft. if its not clear ill pm you my number im happy to walk you through it.

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
