Welcome to nico and s13's are awesome. As for your mechanical problem you can post here, 240sx technical forums or whatever engine is in the car itself.

oh cool.....well i got a few concerns
1) well im thinking its the serpentine belt but every time a go beyond 3k rpm...sounds like the belt might be screeching
ive heard its the compressor belt......then i tried changing the oil yesterday to see if the belt tensioner will fix it...but nope

2) something is wrong with my front brakes....whenever i dont have my foot over the brake pedal.....they sound as if my brake rotors are on a brake lathe getting resurfaced. my thought is that my calipers arent realesing......but thats just me

well hopefully u guys can help me out.......thanks

Yeah I am not a fan of cut rotors. I drive my company car a lot for work about 45K a year and it destroys brakes, they dediced to cut the rotors twice and both time I was back in 3K miles getting rotors and pads again. Just get new, new pads, silicone for the slides, and boots.
