R32 Gtr Gearbox Running Wierd/hot

Everytime I do a highway drive longer than 100km... so steady speed of about 100km/h at a touch under 3000RPM... my gear shifter heats up like a mofo, to the point where the rubber guard that sits on top of the shifter has had to have been replaced twice in the last year as it just warps and oil splashes out. The gears also get harder to shift into when it gets really hot. Anyone got any idea what's goin on in there?

What's the temp its supposed to run? I was thinking of running a trans oil cooler of some sort to try and get the temp down a bit. Anyone got any recommendations?

funky you don't want dexron 3 in the attesa system either. you want nissan matic d in there, dexron 3 in the transfer case, and manual gear oil in the gearbox :w00t: (oh, but I don't think that has anything to do with your problem. regular ATF and nissan matic D are pretty much the same thing anyway).

I would possibly try changing to a better GB oil. We all know friction causes heat and low qual oil allows more friction. :rofl:

Just throwing out stupid ideas 1 and 2 for the day;

Your exhaust isn't resting against the box by any chance? You still have the heat sheild around the cat and your cruise mixtures are ok and not lean (causing excessive exhaust temp)?

Where does the gearstick sit in relation to the transfer case in a gtr? Could the problem be in the transfer case? is the attessa constantly slipping in regular driving? same size wheels front and rear?

richard... really? I've always used dexron 3 in the attesa... any harm in using it over nissan matic d?

yeah was considering trying redline, n seeing how it does. strange thing is I used to run the same oil in my old GTR and it didn't get that hot.

BHDave: cruise mixtures are around stoich, and exhaust isn't resting against the gearbox. no slip in attesa, same sized stock R32 GTR wheels front and back with the same sized tyres at the same pressure.

used to have an R32 GTR... sold that... got an R32 GTS4 now with a GTR gearbox and GTS4 gears. current car count is down to a respectable 3 :D

interesting.. that would be a patch remedy though... i'd rather sort the problem out. definitely will look into buying one of those if I can't sort this out buy changing OEM parts etc.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
