Please don't flame me im just a nub! :) Lol, But i was wondering if theres such a thing.. Im told there is.. But ive searched and haven't really found much on the subject. My gearbox is abit grindy as it goes in to third every now and again and i have tried Redline oil etc.. But im just wondering ( cause it come on after a day of hard driving ) Would i have done something to the gearbox? ( A mate suggested the sin chrome but then he said that doesn't just come on it progress's.. So would this be the start? ) If so why would the gearbox start to die under only 184rwkw.. I haven't grinded the gears or anything, But just now its starting to have a slight grind in to 3rd once every 10 changes.. But morel of the story is.. Does anyone know much about a dog box for a R33? And/Or a rough price? Cause im looking at putting alot more power in it once i have the money, So i would like to start with a strong base. Even though i was told Rb25 Drive line and engines are almost indestructible.

the previous owner of the car before you could have thrashed the hell out of it, but then u'v babied it but the box is still on its way out.

bigger clutch will put a little more strain on the box (aswell as other things)

does it grind when upshifting or downshifting? (2nd to 3rd, or 4th to 3rd)

To R33cruiser : I have only had the car for about 2 months.. and since then i only changed it last week to put the redline in it, But the oil was still really golden.

To hayden49 : If thats the case i don't mind, I have a 2way that grinds when its cold.. But im told thats normal for them.. And i mean if its a normal thing i don't care.. its just when its a bad thing then thats when i start to get worried about something going on me lol.

To StRyDeR: And no it seems to only been shifting up in to 3rd.. I mean with second and 4th its a little bit notchy and thats about it.

I wouldn't personally worry too much with a dog box unless you're chasing power of well over 350-400rwkw and will give the car a punishing on a regular basis... Pretty expensive for those type of gearsets. Stick with the 25 gearbox. supposed to be strong as.

    • 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
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
