I have no idea what its from. I had my mechanic friend take a look and he was baffled too. any sort of ideas would help, its getting frustrating because I don't know what it is so I can't even attempt to get rid of this noise.

The reason i say it might be the clutch pedal, is because it sort of sounds like its coming from the clutch pedal area lol. I removed the clutch helper spring and it was fine for a week. after some hard pulls it started. a few days it was fine but now its starting to get unbearable. AGAIN, I do need help so any sort of ideas or solutions would be gladly appreciated!

For some reason I only see your avatar...

Sounds like two pieces of plastic rubbing together or glass against rubber. Is there any fitment issue with the side window?

I agree with Gadgetech that it sounds like plastic rubbing. I'd try using a paper towel roll pressed to the ear or a directional microphone to pinpoint the source.

Styrofoam rubbing against itself ! Check and see if u may have disturbed some thing under the dash when pulling the helper spring out of clutch pedal ! Could be the rubber grommet in the fire wall that the clutch passes threw ...... To the clutch master cylinder!

Are you sure its not your condom's rubbing with each other in your glove compartment! Sorry my mind got wild after seeing your avatar!

You naughty boy!

Hmm.. I think its safe to say an avatar with your Z will show better results in this forum.

Well I would think once the forum mods see your avatar they will ask you to change it. So guys enjoy while it last.
