    Have you checked belt deflection as per the workshop manual? If thats okay, I've read on the forums a trick of applying candle wax to inside of belt while running to give the belt grip and stop the noise.

    Get rid of that fan and put a genuine 300zx fan and clutch on there. Order it through conceptzedperformace, you will have it by next this time next week.

    You are complaining of overheating aswell in another thread, soap, candle wax or anything like that doesn't stop the belt slipping, it just shuts up the squeal by giving some lubrication.

    im fairly sure most new belts will start to slip after week or two due to belts stretching slightly when used. mine did the same, just tightened the belts and all sweet
