so the clutch peddal in my mates 33 is squicking like a bastard. i got in the foot well to have a look but in such tight qurters its hard to tell where the sound is coming from but seems to be the master cylinder... is this a usual cercumstance in 33s?

Squeaking noise? its probably just coming from the pedal itself, mine does it and its just the spring or some part of the pedal that needs to be lubed. Try spraying some WD40 or something around the pedal bracket and see if it helps

here is the thread where i say how to lube up the pivot bolt. if you scroll down there will be a pic i took as well. it was longer ago than what i thought (2006)

but it will only help if the noise isn't coming from inside the car. often the pivots of the clutch pedal get dry and noisey and sometimes even the mounting brackets snap

yeah chail lube. Try and get the Finish Line MTB dry chain lube. It has teflon in it but it goes on wet and dries so no drippy drippy and no gunk gets stuck to it. Can't imagine anything worse than WD40 on a pedal, except maybe armour all on anything!

Don't do WD40, shit will make you high for weeks and the smell just doesn't go away. I've got floormats in storage that still smell of the stuff - and it was 5 years ago that I sprayed the WD40 on the clutch pedal of the car they were in.

Worth checking the boot of the slave cylinder's pivot point too...I always put some grease in there from time to time just to keep things running smooth. Seems to help with the squeaking.

    • It's not a dumb question. I was circling this idea myself. User error is always possible!
    • Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.
    • Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.
    • It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
    • OK...so dumb question to check....do the hi beams actually come on when the push the stalk to engage them (keeping in mind your headlight switch must be at ON as well)
