Heavy Clutch Causing Clutch Pedal Noise? Squeeking / Creeking

Hey guys,

I have an RB25DET w/ the RB25 tranny all swapped into my R32. Clutch is an ATS twin plate carbon.

A month ago my pedal started to make a squeeking noise every time i pressed the clutch down, and when it let it back up.

Last week, my clutch pedal bracket snapped while driving! I brought it to my guys' shop and the fixed it. Welded it back together and reinforced the s$%t out of it.

It was quite an easy fix, put it back in and cha-ching! It's working again.

A few days later, the squeeking noise came back. Now my main concern right now is that the squeeking noise is associated with the bracket breaking. Would that be true????

Or is the noise just from the stress of having a heavy twin plate ATS clutch??

[edit]

Oh, i forgot to mention i am not talking about the plates chattering.

It's actually noise coming from the pedal.

IE// if you have the car off and step on the clutch pedal, it would make a creeking / squeeking noise.

I also have the same problem but on my RB20DET gearbox. I believe it is one of the thrust or spigot bearings in the gearbox (mine is the spigot because it only creaks when u move the pedal) whereas if its when the clutch pedal is released and ur not touching it, then it is usually the thrust bearing. Not Sure tho....Any experts care to help me ouut here?

Not much help but I had he same prob. Mangled the crap out of the bracket and then bought another one and went crazy with the welder. Mine before and even after the bracket episode makes a squeaking sound.

Clutch is an Ogura twin with a very heavy pedal.

Same issue different sort of car, as bob said try wd40 on the pivot point that usually does help but does usually come back after wd40 wears out

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
