Sounds like ya belts! get em check and tightened perhaps.

[lach 32]

yeh sounds like the belts, i have the same problem on my 32 when i start it....may just have to get them tightened or may have to replace.

When u have used the car for a while and the engine is all hot, then shut it off, then start it back up again, does it still make the screeching sound? because i have been told it's the belts by the mechanic and mine only screeches when cold, once the engine is hot the screeching stops.

My R32 is in need of the 100K service but after doing a little research and obtaining some quotes (anywhere from $800 - $1000) i have decided to hold off on it.

The car is now currently at 113K's

donations any1?

Either belts or starter motor

The springy thing in your starter motor has trouble releasing the gear from the flywheel so it kinda stays there for a few secs and makes a racket.

i have the same problem in my r33. but when i start it up, u can vaguely hear the screeching sound. rev it up in neutral, and the screeching noise get worse. i drive down the road for a while in gear and noise continues, but, when i chuck it in neutral the noise goes away. then once i put it in gear again the noise returns.

and sometimes, the noise will be there, the same sh#t as above will happen, then it will go away for a couple of minutes, then come back again.

i took it to my mechanic and asked him to check the belts, which he did, and he said the problem was fixed. but the noise is still there, and happening for longer, only on cold starts though

[Chi100188]

hmmm yeah only happens when the engines cold, and also one more question atm my engine the dip stick thing and the dip stick tube is missing but something is jammed into it i was wonderin ghow to get that thign out? or is there anotehr alternative way in checking oil levels thanks?...i just noticed as i bought the engine and got it put it....mitchy didn't know this as well so im assuming its the previous previous owner of the engine

i have exactly the same problem, but only last for 2 seconds even on a very very cold morning

lol this may sound noob, but which belts? timing belt?

[Stinky Rooster]

find someone with a mig welder, seal whatever it is with the thickest grease you can find (I recommend high temp wheel bearing grease) to seal the dipstick tube and stop crap falling in to the sump, and then get your mate with the welder to tack a piece of rod to the obstruction. You could even ask him to weld a basic tee handle on top and then start yanking and pulling.

Or, you could try and source a new dipstick and tube from a wrecker and get someone to use a oxy torch to veeeeery gently de-braize the dipstick tube from the sump (or block, cant remember which one it goes in to) and just replace it with a new one?

It goes without saying that this would a lot easier acheived whith the engine out of the car, but doable if its already in.

hope this helps
