Hi guys,

Long time since posting here but hoping someone has the information I need.

Car has started idling very loudly, with intermittent chirping noises coming from the belts. Last service I had the mechanic stated the drive belt would need to be changed next service or the one after that.

Also, with cold starts the car has a whirring whine that changes pitch when I accelerate but seems to dissipate as the car warms up.

These problems have been developing over the last 48 hours, so very new.

I had been getting my car regularly serviced at UAS when they were in Castle Hill but their new premises is far too inconvenient for me to travel to now. I work in Chatswood, so I'd prefer to find a mechanic somewhere in the area.

Also if you have any suggestions about what the problem could be, I'd appreciate the words of wisdom :D

I'm driving a 1994 R33 GTS-T M-spec, virtually no modifications.

Thanks for your time if you've read this far,

Alex

Hi mate is Hornsby too far out of your way?

I use and recommend Dennis at Grim Performance: 0407950180

Also as far as the whirring whine is concerned, it probably means one of the belts needs adjusting. Mine screeches to high heaven when I start her up in the morning then after the engine is no longer cold, it doesn't happen again until next morning.

      Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.

      Set of knee pads for a R34. Will fit every model I think. Comes with everything except the rubber covers for the bolt holes. Still in great condition. You will need to drill holes to mount these or use double sided tape. I can do free shipping and will be shipping from the Netherlands with tracking.

      Nistune needs something like an entire excel spreadsheet in which you build an abstraction layer that converts everything from real units you can actually measure into all of the various tables. The number of unexpected dependencies hiding in how the Nissan ECUs do math is a pretty impressive optimization trick for 8-bit MCUs but good god is it awful to actually work with in practice.
