Ok guys here's the story

Was at the SAU drag day on may6th...R33 GTS-T with full 3"...no other mods.

Had the first run, no problems.

On the second run, as I was approaching the end of the 400m, I was in third, and needed to select 4th before hitting the limiter...So i did.

The stick sort of grinded and didnt come out of third, so i just thought i'd missed it, and backed off. As i was trying to slow down to take the exit, i tried to gear down into 2nd, and the same thing happened....

realising something was wrong and it was stuck in 3rd, I just drove it back to the parking area like that. A few of the SAU guys tried to get it into neutral, but it would not budge.

anyway, towed it home and took it to a certain workshop on the monday. They took the box out and gave it to the "gearbox specialist" they use..."its worse than first thought" was what i got a few days later...apparently selector fork (which I was told by the SAU guys) and the "clutch hub assembly" between 3rd and 4th.

Not knowing anythin about gearboxes, im just quoting what ive been told.

anyway, fast forward 5 weeks, and basically nothing has been done. The reasons ive been given are the NISSAN themselves dont know what part it is, even having seeen the part in person etc.

5 weeks without the car, and no real progress being made, I should've posted this thread a long time ago, but my lack of knowledge on what part im asking about is what stopped me.

I'm calling on anyone thats had this problem before (stuck in 3rd) and also anyone that knows their stuff as far as the R33 boxes go.

I REALLY need the car back ASAP!

Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry about the long post. But it should answer most questions straight up

Cheers

Synchro hub assembly is probably the more correct term. It consists of the sliding sleeve, Baulk rings, synchro hub (which is splined to the output shaft), key inserts and insert springs. I'll have a look for p/no's when i get home, if you send me your vin number. For it to lock into 3rd gear id say the baulk ring has collapsed and the sliding sleeve has jammed onto the distorted baulk ring/hub.

thanks for that mate...there was mention of keys and springs or something like being broken or damaged

ill PM you my VIN now, and hopefully you can help me out!!!!!!!!!

Thanks

someones just pointed out to me that on the fast diagram kjb_r33 provided me, it says

"app date 95-01"

now by 33 is a 1998 series 2...so is there a different diagram for mine in fast?

the workshop is telling me that nissan australia says the part number in fast is incorrect, and doesnt match the part i need...

post-22515-1150682996.jpgpost-22515-1150683019.jpg

in the pic, its the part highlighted in green, under the 4 other green part numbers...its 32608+B

part number - 32609-70L20

im DESPERATE now and REALLY REALLY need this sorted out and fixed ASAP.

if anyone has good contacts in nissan, and can help me out, id be VERY VERY grateful!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
