can you get someone to press it for you, and then stick your head under the car? (car off obviously)

Maybe it could be the slave cylinder pushing on the fork? As far as the engine bay goes, your pedal is hooked onto a rod that pushes through the firewall and into the clutch master cylinder. That rod could make some noise possibly? I don't know if it is lubricated by the clutch fluid in the reservoir.

Anyway, isolate where it is coming from, then you might find you need a master or slave cylinder reconditioned. Personally, my clutch pedal's spring was VERY loud until I took to it with some silicone lubricant.

Hrmm whats the easiest way to get access to the clutch fork to lubricate it?

Cheers

I used a flexible piece of small diameter hose attatched to a cannister of silicone based lucbricant and just fed the hose (around 45cm) to the clutch fork and gave it a nice little spray, seemed to work fine.

you will want to put something that will stay there on it. like grease or something similar. the main spot it squeaks from is where the clutch forks sits on the pivot bolt. if it gets really dry then you don't drive it for a while (month or so) when you next put your foot on the clutch, if they have rusted together it will snap the pivot bolt. i have my bolt snap, and its a few hours work to get the gearbox off and back on, but only cost me 90 cents to fix it. mine broke off at the bell housing so we had to use a tool to get the thread out. a guy i know with another r33 had his break right at the fork and it ended up stuffing his clutch as well.

to lube it up get some grease on the end of your finger, get under the car on the drivers side, and you will see a lever coming out of the gearbox. that is the clutch fork. on the side opposite to where the slave cylinder pushes on it you can slide your finger in there and apply the grease.

apparently snapping pivot bolts is common on skylines, especially when the clutch has been replaced. the mechanics over tighten the bolt. they need to be firm, but not over tight. will thry to take a pic of where i am talking about tonight.

a spray grease or grease gun with a hose would make the job easier. but any lube is better than nothing, but the thicker the better as it will stay there longer and lubricate better. also worth putting a bit on where the slave cylinder pushes on the clutch fork.

Yeah I looked at all that. So you can get your finger in under that grommet to get some grease in there?

Does you go in behind the fork as in closer to rear of car or in front?

Cheers

i had this problem, thou greased basically everything possible (btw when u do this make sure u don't spray ur clutch plate!!), still didn't go. ended up having to remove box replace the pivot release ball and withdrawl lever, they had excessive movement in them causing a metal on metal kinda squeak. Also replaced clutch slave cylinder at same time, cause mid bleeder went only a few weeks earlier and once one goes, generally they all start to fail at same time.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
