Gday fellas

Havent taken my car out for a while from the garage, but over the last couple of weeks im geting this noise.

It sounds like engine noise and is coming from the engine bay its like a squeeling noise and comes and goes as i Accellerate ( funny thing is it only turns on when i turn on the Air conditioning and stops th eminiute i turn off the AC button)

On another note the Airconditioning is no longer cool ( Do you think the noise has anything to do with the Re-gass being nescesary) ?

The part that weirds me out is Engine noise as i understand is usually stereo related, but i have no sound in the car, the deck is out, and so are the amps, so just speakers sitting in the sockets with wires attached and nothing on the end ....

either way weirderd out

could be that the compressor is stuffed and the squealing is the compressor seizing up enough that the belt is slipping. this could also be the reason why the air con is no longer cold. or it could simply be that it needs regassing (to make it cold again, but not to get rid of the squeal).

Thanks Guys

The compressor idea is a good one,

The squeeling, is not like a belt squeeling noise, it sounde like electronic engine noise,

maybe this is also due to the compressor failing...

will check the belt this evening

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.

      R34 GTT AC short cycling ? Normal behaviour?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
