hey people, just picked up a 1997 r33 gts-t m-spec with rb25det. im fairly new to world of imports, this is the first one ive owned. i too have the famous crunch from 1st to 2nd. just wondering where i can get my hands on some redline shockproof? also does it come in different grades? if so, what grade is recommended for those gearboxes? also if anyone knows how much oil they hold would be much appreciated. also, the car is pretty well standard engine wise, apart from splitfire coils, walbro fuel pump, k&n panel filter and 3 inch catback exhaust. the factory dual stage boost solenoid has been disconnected and a boost tee fitted up running a constant 9psi. is there anything i can do to give it a bit more punch without sacrificing fuel economy? winding up the boost is obviously an easy fix for grunt, but not for fuel. it just sounds so held back. just wondering if theres things i can do without spending mega bucks. any comments would be a great help. cheers.

im no skyline expert, only having owned mine for 3 weeks, but i am a mechanic by trade n have had a lil to do with clutches. sounds to me like either ur release bearing is flogged out, and/or basically your clutch is plain rooted. check g/box oil, see what its like. usually a good starting point. oil will normally give u an idea as to what kind of nick the gearbox is in. but the whirring sound your getting when your takin your foot off the clutch makes me think either worn clutch plate or a failed spigot bearing.
