squealing at high RPM's - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

This doesn't happen everytime, but it's happened enough to have me worried.  Sometimes when I accellerate to redline I hear this nasty little squeal, starting around 5800-6000 and continuing to redline.  It sounds like a mix between fingernails on a chalkboard and a drum major's whistle.  As of yet, I haven't pin-pointed its location or figured out exactly when it happens (since it doesn't do it all the time).  Any ideas?

That might be it b/c I just replaced the power steering pump.  But just in case...any other suggestions?
