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!

    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
