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.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
