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! :) }

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
