Hi Guys, l have a noise which sounds like a worn belt , but unfortunately still there after changing all belts. Removedthe power steering belt, still there, Removed the water pump belt, still there, removed the alt drive belt, no noise. thought it was a noisy bearing in the alternator, replaced the bearings in the alternator and noise still there. The noise goes away within about 7 -10 seconds of start, don't hear it again.

Its pissing me off

Any ideas:(

Hey guys, it is only at startup, mainly cold starts, its a squeal, like a belt noise, as i stated, it was still there after i slackened off the two outside belts, the fan and powersteering belt, it stopped when l slackened off the alternator belt. All belts are new, the bearings in the alt have been replaced.

Now to my line of thinking, all that is left is the balancer....

Can that make a squealling noise, can the outer turn on the inner???? They do have rubber on the inside right??

not happy Jan

Thanks DRDrift, will call ya...

Yes, that squeal is generally indicative of a loose or slipping belt. Try tightening the belts back to their proper tension.

I think there's a spray or something also that you can use to stop it.

I also had a few whirring noise on cold startup, even worse steering make horrible sound when turning... I thought my front steering assembly is about to go or even pwr steering pump abt to die, or some belt is getting loose...

Then I noticed.... power steering fluid a bit low. So I top it up then..... I never heard that sound since again, cold or hot don't matter anymore...

When i had the beast dyno tuned, the chap from Race Pace drove his Gtr out of the shop for mine to go in, and guess what, his made the same sound.......

well, I had to ask....

Bloody Fan belt he Said...

Tighten it till it stops the noise......and then a bit more to allow for stretch, specially on a new belt......

All quiet again.........Nice

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 馃槈. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 馃槏.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
