NISMO,

If I was to guess at it I would say that the alternator bearings are on the way out!!(these can sometimes make the exact same sound that you describe so I would check this first) But to check it you would have to remove/loosen the belt to see how easily the alternator spins to make sure!

There was a thread on this a while ago, but no resolution.

I have the same problem.... When its cold, you start the car, and you get a screech (intensity of sound depends on how cold it is), and it will last about 1 - 2 seconds.

I've had this prob for over 6 months now, and I have no idea what it is. As it only does it when i start the car, and the outside ambient temeperature is low, AND it only lasts about 1 second, I haven't bothered to fix it!

And no it's not the fan belts,

Doubt it is the alternator bearings, as it would do it more consistently...

Can anyone else that has this problem, please tell us if you also have a squeeky clutch! As in does your clutch squeek sometimes when you depress the pedal?

Zahos,

I have a auto(Not for long though) GTS4 and I have experienced the same sound on start up (only twice so these would have been cold outside and that the car hadn't been started for one week) so I don't think that the start up noise is related to the manual gearbox.

It seemed to come from the front of the car where the alternator is located?

It also happened after I fitted a new fuel filter and had to clean the engine bay again I thought that a unsealed bearing had got a bit damp because I only cleaned the drivers side of the engine bay.

I can't actually diagnose the problem because it has only happened to me a few times and is inconsistent enough for me to leave it alone until I put in rb26.

where is NISMO?(the one who started this thread)

Thanks for that Mega!

So now I'm left with no clues as to what it could be! I would think that if it were bearings that it would do it more consistently? A friend had the bearings go on his air-con, and that made bad noise consistently, wouldn't the bearings off any component working off the fan belts do the same thing if they were buggered?

Anyhow, summer is coming so I guess I wont have to worry about this one for a while!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
