Hi,this is my first thread so im hoping someone can help. When I start my jap spec 96 NA fairlady a squealing noise comes from under the bonnet . Some times it is just for a second but more often it is for longer. Sometimes it does'nt do it at all. The squealing stops when the fan starts up. I have had the belts replaced and adjusted but its starting to drive me mad now. Anyone had the same problem?

Free bump now that this thread is in the correct Forum :D

check to see if you have a underdrive pulley, I have heard that some of these can cause this

I have an underdrive pully, and I also have noisy belts that kick off when i put my foot down. One is right on the edge of adjustment. How can one fix it? I guessing that a can of belt grip is not the best idea.

It'll be one of the secondary belts probably.

 

Most likely the alternator belt.

 

If you get under the car and take the splash guard off it's a 2 spanner, 5 minute job to tighten it up a bit.

If its at full stretch then you are best changing it fella.

Hi sorted problem dan at smithies sorted it actually. Had fitted a TT belt on alternator which is a 1040 instead of a 1013 which is correct for the jap spec NA Many thanks to Dan for saving my sanity
