This is my first post, as well as my first car (I'm 17), so any help is appreciated.

I have a 1996 300zx NA with an Unorthodox Racing UD crank pulley. It has been installed for about a month and half. The belts have started to squeal since it started getting cold outside, so I tightened the belts last week hoping to abate the intense squealing I was hearing. It did not.

It happens at every cold start-up, and randomly while driving. It will come and go at random intervals with no immediate cause. I am struggling to find the source because i cannot see which belt is slipping.

What are some fixes or remedies that I can do? How have you guys fixed this problem in the past? Are there any threads on the forum that will help me out?

I believe your belts are too tight. Try loosening them. The fsm will provide the right numbers for how much deflection is needed.
