Hey all,

I am new to this forum as I have just bought a skyline after being a rotor boy for the past 5 years.

I have purchased a r34 gtt manual jap import. It seems to make a noise when the car starts up... but then stops after about 5 seconds.

The noise sounds like the hood is open and the metal stand is making the noise... if that makes sense.??

I have seen that ppl are using wd40 and replacing the belts etc... would this just be a belt related problem??

cheers,

Nick

What kind of noise is it?

Is it a squeal?

Is it a clatter?

Does it not happen when the car has been warmed up?

Without knowing more info, it might just be a belt. In that case, you can spray just a little WD40 on one belt and see if it stops. Stop the engine > start it again > see if it's silent. The WD40 is just a temp measure > check and replace the belt if necessary (if it's cracked, frayed or not sitting flush in it's pulleys.

If it's a clatter, you can get a 30cm wooden dowel and put one end on parts of the engine (with the other at your ear). Valve lifters?

Congrats on your purchase. How long ago did you take ownership? Was it a dealership? If it was & it's recent, could they look at it for you?

Hey its a squeel... and it only come on when i start the engine for 3 secons or so...

I believe it is a belt related problem.. mayb loose or old? but im worried because it goes away and doesnt come back until i start it again..

(I guess thats a good thing :mrt: lol...)

Generally only happens when car engine is alwready warm... ??

Hey.. nah its not an armarold problem cos he didnt shine it up or anything...

One of the belts seems loose.. possibly the timing belt? the top one of the r34 ... ?

A mate of mine said it could be a water pump bearing... ? any help guys.. it only stays on for a small time then goes until i start again..

seems like when i start it up the volt meter Fluctuates with the noise then stays stable... could this imply that the alternator belt could be loose??

help plz. :P

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.

      Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
