Hows it going guys, long time lurker decided to make an account..

Just under 2 weeks ago i got a new excedy twin plate pull-type put into my car (93 BNR32) I also got new transmission & transfer case fluid's. I asked my mech to put in redline, but due to the un-availability of it he put in a motul oil. The first night i picked up the car the clutch was quite noisy when cold and got a bit better when warm, i also found that 2nd gear was crunching and so was 4th (4th used to only crunch when driven hard and changed into at over 80). I also found that the car off the line would really struggle to move unless i rode the clutch a bit (1200-1400rpm) ... I rang my mech in search of answers, he told me that it was a new clutch and that once the necessary 500km's are driven to wear it in, it should all level itself out..

Week and a bit has past and i travelled the 500km, last night i took it for a quick spin.... I then decided to give it a quick squirt 1st into 2nd.. i noticed that it was terribly rough and could feel 3 very quick gear box shudders before it took of in 2nd, i tried it again and the same thing happened. I then decided to shift slower and much more deliberately into 2nd and it worked fine...

Today i took it for another drive to the shops, no hard driving.. and noticed on start up the knock went to 18... i've never had knock go over 1 on start up before... It was also a pain in the ass to start moving from stationary and was making all kinds of noises.

So atm just waiting for my mech to open again so i can give him a call..

I have a feeling that somehow the box was not put back in properly or the clutch isn't balanced... pretty new to all this, but i do remember the mech telling me he hadn't done a pull type clutch in quite some time, i have a sneaky suspision that it may have been a rush job.... Car was in the shops for 2 weeks, Majority of that time was waiting for late parts... Most of the work was carried out in 1 day, so i dunno..

Anyone have ideas on what could be wrong and what would be the best way to approach my mech about all this?

Nothing is wrong with knock hitting 18 on start up.

What motul gearbox oil did he put in? Mineral junk or the full synth Gear 300?

The gear 300 is excellent stuff and will not cause shift problems. The mineral HD motul stuff will.

Motul Gear 300 > Redline anyway. :thumbsup:

Not really.. I went from Valvoline semi-synth stuff to VMX80 with an improvement; then to Gear HD and it was horrid, worse than the very cheap valvoline semi-synth

Motul gear 300 ftw if you want good shift quality or simply run the cheap VMX80.

So what your saying is all my gearbox problems "could" be caused by the fluids im using?

wtf does knock have to do with a clutch?? twin plates are noisy.

ive installed trillions of the bastards and theyve all been noise.. thats how they are.. tripples r even worse and 4 r worse again.

as for ur crunching. definately sounds like wrong oils. 75-140 is way too thick for the box anyway. Factory recommends 80/90 which is what i use and i have no problems @ all..

change ur oils. as for shudders and vibrations before takin off?? wtf does that even mean.. when u accel, petrol goes in motor, explodes, makes engine move connects to flywheel wihch moves clutch hence moves car..

it wont vibrate a few times b4 moving.. its not a horse. you open throttle, it moves, unless theres something wrong with ur tune/engine. gearbox doesnt have anything to do with that.. all it does is transfers energy from engine to wheels.

where abouts are u from? i could give u a hand with it if ur in melb.

I know there meant to be a harsher and noisier then standard..

Im glad it's just oils, thought i may have had something worse on my hands...

Disapointed that the mech put it in there with all the experience he's got with gtr's :)

Im from queensland mate... cheers

I've noticed HD clutches require a slight change to driving style to get the car moving. I only fitted a HD single plate clutch. Before that, I'm pretty sure I could ease the clutch - no throttle - and the car would start moving. I now find I need to give some revs or the engine will stall.

So, try giving a few more revs before you start to engage the clutch, see if that solves the "shudder".

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
