every other gear is fine, shifts well and fairly smooth, but come to 4th and if i try to quickly shift up to it, it will grind.

this is not an issue for any other gear, just 4th, the gearbox does have a quickshifter installed.

im thinking syncro's both sides of the 4th cog ? no ? maybe shit quickshift kit ?

Yeah mine occasionally does this too, with quickshifter installed also.

I think its just the syncros are a bit shagged, doesnt bother me too much though, good old R33 gearboxes :)

Synchro's gone. Maybe able to decrease the grind with a new/better oil.

Another thing to try if that doesn't work, and it's a little unorthodox, is;

hold steady revs on flat ground with nothing in front of you @ around 2000rpm. With your foot off the clutch (out) move the gear lever toward fourth gear slot (don't worry, it won't jump in!) and gradually increase the pressure with which you try to pull it into 4th. You'll notice the engine will actually load a little. Do it for up to 20 seconds, in increments of 5 seconds. It has the effect of "re-bedding" the synchro. Trust me, it works, bought me another 20,000k's in my GTR.

If all else fails, fix it, or put up with double clutching on the way up! {'cause we all heel and toe on the way down don't we people? I hope so! :) }

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
