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.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
