Hi all,

I had my V35 coupe parked on the side of the road today, and when I started it up to drive off, I was met by an extremely loud screeching noise when I turned the wheel to the right and started to drive. It seems to be coming from the front, drivers side wheel arch.

After a 4-5 seconds, the squeal stopped. I drove forward for about 20m, then turned right onto another street when it squealed again- this time it was nowhere near as loud or long. I pulled back over and let the car idle for a minute, before taking off. It was only a 10 minute drive home, and it did not make the noise again.

Does anyone know what this could be? A few google searches indicate the power steering may be the culprit.

The power steering fluid is full to where it needs to be. The alignment seems to be fine. For the last few weeks, there has been a light clunk noise coming from the front right suspension (the car has tein coilovers), which I was going to get looked at after christmas. There don't seem to be any leaks from the car either. Usually when I reverse out of the drive, there is a slight buzz noise (presumably due to the EDFC) once I have started driving.

I purchased the car from a specialist importer, and am the first owner of the car in Australia. The car has just ticked over 80k kms (I have dereg papers and import papers etc to confirm this).

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know so I can contact the dealer with at least some knowledge of what the problem could be.

stone stuck between the brake rotor and caliper or caliper bracket..

Interesting...

I took it for a drive an hour or so ago and it didn't do it.

Hopefully it was just gremlins... I might get my phone ready when I go to work tomorrow and see if it does it again...

I would say old/loose ancillary belts. They aren't expensive to replace, $70 for both from memory, and about 30 mins of your time.

+1. Commonly heard on old bangers but can happen on newer vehicles if the belt has been damaged or is getting dirty.

they should be ok, but these size belts are an 'off the shelf' item, you should be able to buy at just about any auto parts store.

Slipping belts often squeal when starting from cold and get loud when you rev the engine, and often go away after the first minute or so of driving. also can get louder when you put them under load, eg. power steering pump load (turning when not moving or moving slow) or AC compressor. Shouldn't really make much difference if you are turning right or left. and would also come from the front of the car, not the right side wheel arch.

well sort of.. not really in the wheel arch... it is close enough to the front centre of the engine bay that it would sound like it is coming from under the bonnet when you are in the drivers seat.

when I had a faulty fuel damper, it sounded like it was coming from the engine bay, even thought it was the rear right side of the engine.

The sound of a squealing belt would also be quite a bit different to a rock in the calliper. a belt is a screech.. but a rock is more of a metallic scraping sound which is usually a bit modulated with wheel rotation speed.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
