The slave is bolted to the right-hand side of the gearbox, but it's unlikely to be making a noise (It would probably have dropped all the brake/clutch fluid if it was). The clutch throw-out fork goes through the side of the 'box there so that could be it (might not be a simple fix, and its not advisable to spray lubricants though the hole, for obvious reasons). Try hitting the joints and linkages in the pedal box with some spray grease first. Otherwise, check with a bolty.

Rain shouldn't make a difference- it's unlikely to get wet there. The fork pivots on a iron nib thats screwed into the gear-case (this is inside the bellhousing). Being a post 91 model, my GT-R has a pull type clutch, so the set-up on the GTS-Ts will be different. It might be that pivot point that generates noise, or where the fork connects to the thrust bearing, or the thrust bearing itself (common source of noise [but not usually squeaks]). Check with a Mech, I would suggest. They won't charge you for a simple check like that.

i had the same problem before i got my HD clutch..... my mechanic put some high temp grease on everything.... it is SOOOO smooth and no noise now :D

oh yeah... head down to Petersham... see Mark at 328 stanmore rd petersham.... 9568 1700

tell him ed sent ya.... doodz also heads down there for his mechanical jobbies too.... all good mate...

Mine does it after it rains too.

Especially if the car is parked on grass.

I believe it's the throwout bearing squeaking on the shaft thingy inside the bell housing.... Drop the box and grease her up and it should stop squeaking.

I found that my squeak was coming from worn bushes on the pivot points in the pedal box. Try some WD40 etc and if it still happens you may need to take it appart, grease it up and put it all back.

In my case the squeak came from temperature (cold) rather than rain.

I too - have the same problem.

Normally occurs in the first 5-10 mins after i start driving.

But then if you stick your head out the window at a set of traffic lights and depress teh pedal, sometimes the squeak can be heard!!

I'll try these suggestions and hopefully fix the bugger.

:P

I also have a clutch problem

I got a new clutch put in my car a few weeks back (exedy cushion button clutch)

Unfortunately i almost limped the car to melb where i was going to get it fixed properly but it was slipping too much about 300km short of melb so i had to get it done in a small country town. When i got it back it was direct driving, with clutch through the floor the wheels were turning with it on the hoist and could not put it into gear. I took it back in and he replaced a pin (longer one from a toyota hiace) and now my gears dont crunch but it is really stiff when changing gears...what is happening here? and how can i fix it...and while i am asking 50 questions (for anyone who has read this far) who can I go to? I am about to move to Sydney (eastern suburbs) and i want to get this fixed ASAP along with the install of

APEXi - AVC-R

Blitz - LM Intercooler

HKS - NEW version HKS cam pully

Nismo - Fuel Pump ECR33

Nismo - Fuel Regulator

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
