Hey guys...

My first post, and its a cry for help... :D

Ive had my R34 GTt for about 5 months, and it had a brand new clutch in it when I bought it. A couple of days ago, I was driving along happily and all of a sudden I felt like gears were grinding when I shifted to 3rd gear... I thought it might just be a one off but then it got worse... now it happens when I shift into 2nd, 3rd and 5th... but only at 3,500 rpms + The stick kind of just gets stuck before it falls into place... grinds for about a second and then all is fine... At lower revs, I do not have this problem. I'm hoping someone would be able to tell me what's up before I take it to a mech.

If somebody knows of an earlier thread with this topic, please paste the link, I tried looking but I couldn't find any similar threads. Thanks! :laugh:

Worn out sycnros?

Long term wise... rebuild gear box..

However, it can be fixed in the short term with Redline Shock proof light gear box oil....

Give it a go and see how it is... takes about a week or so for it to get in and about your gears... so dont expect immediate results... But it should smooth it out and get rid of the crunch.

Thanks for your replies guys.

oof... rebuilding the gearbox...? well, thats gonna cost me a bit.

I'm taking her to my mech tomorrow so I'll post what was wrong with it once I get it fixed.

Cheers guys.

As of this evening I too am in need of this advice!! Only difference is I have an R33. I'm hoping gearbox oil or something will fix it...

any updates jack?... did you find out what was wrong with your car?

i had my 20det box rebuilt not that long ago.. started gridning gears not long out after rebuild i used the same gears though i sent it back and the only thing was it was the teeth on the gears that was chiped... so each change into 5th and evey change into 5th i get a nice crunch could but could be a clutch or warn out synchrode...

careful when a synchrode goes though... threw a bearing and blew my box but i dunno why it did that

You probably won't believe this... but the problem actually had nothing to do with the clutch or the gearbox. The throttle body callibrations had somehow changed in the ECU so apparently so the car was taking too long to realise that I had let go of the accelerator when I'm changing the gears. It didn't make too much sense to me either, but after I reset the ECU, the grindings gone... =)

    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
    • That is correct,  I have a forged RB25/30det NEO hiding away safely and I wanted to use the very rare greddy vct adj cam gear on this new setup and so I just used the whole thing on my s1 instead of pulling it appear because I'm lazy af 😅🤌🏼
