I doubt the FMIC install affected your crunching in 5th. Probably just a coincidence, does it do it every single time you shift into 5th? Try double clutching and see if it helps.

Also, what does a fuel pump have to do with your gears crunching? :mellow:

You car idling at 600rpm has nothing to do with gears crunching in 5th dude.

It also (the crunching) has nothing to do with a FMIC.

5th crunching is the synchro's letting go or the clutch being a bit so-so possibly in some way.

Totally unrelated to the points you've raised here

just wear on you synchro's man. try double clutching as mentioned. i don't know enough to explain it, but it feels like releasing the clutch and then pushing it in again gives things a chance to align more nicely than doing the whole change in one motion.

e.g.

clutch > de-select 4th > neutral (clutch position same as when de-selecting 4th) > select 5th > release clutch [things haven't had a chance to re-align from a neutral point]

v

clutch > de-select 4th > release clutch > true neutral > clutch (fresh clutch engagement :P ) > select 5th > release clutch

[things have hit neutral without the clutch affecting it - the best starting point to select any gear. it's just a more box-friendly and often a more solid engagement]

remember 5th is also possibly the least 'sure holding' gear in your gearset and in worn boxes can just slip out of gear. think of it as if you're rock climbing and 5th is the last hand hold and you have to stretch and grab it with just the tips of your fingers... errm.. [note to self, shut the f*ck up with all these weird analogies you come up with!?!?]

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
