Hello,

seems lately my car is having idle problems. When i start it even after i have given it a run it sounds like its going to sieze. It has done it twice now. I have lost my licence so i havent done a major tune up for about 8 months. Is it this problem?

And after i start it in the morning theres a skreaching sound from one of the belts. Timing or fan? This means replacement time right? The car has done 90,000km.I should change it to be safe.

Hope you guys can help out.

Much appreciated.

The 'skreaching' sound could also be a loose altanator belt. Does it just make the noise after start up or does it continue throughout the whole time the engine is on?

Hey guys, thank you for the replies.

Adam it makes the skreaching sound in the mornings especialy, and yeah only after start up it doesnt continue. I also forgot to mention another noise problem. Some have told me its the starter motor...sometimes when i start it it makes a massive skreach sound as of i had the engine on already and i pushed the key further. Soem say starter motor, some say the altanator and some say the key sometimes doesnt catch the threads inside the chamber properly?? I just doent wann make a fuss of it and when i take it to get it repaired it could be something i could have fixed.

I think the skreaching sound is similar to mine, it only skreaches after start up and then stops. I don't understand why, but it doesn't affect performance or anything so I just left it.

As for your starter motor problem, I've got no idea what that could be. Best to get it checked out. The problem could be worse then you think.

Hope everything is OK

Cheers,

Adam

I heard it could be the altanator belt but it could be any belt being loose. I wouldn't worry about it if it doesn't affect your performance. In Spartan's case, it's something to do with his starter motor and it's something I would check out.

Does your belt just skreatch in the mornings when it's cold or does it just come and go whenever it feels like it?

Cheers,

Adam

    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
    • Can't see that being a thing.
