So im gonna change my gearbox oil, ive read all the previous threads about what oil and how to do it...but not much is mentioned about flushing the gearbox out.

i know ive crunched a few gears here and there so its pretty safe to say im gonna find a fair few shards of teeth once i drain the oil. so....

should i flush out my gearbox? if so, should i just use water/detergent/oil/spit/anything that cleans out gearboxes for people that crunch gear changes when driving ????

Just drain and re-fill, no need to use water or detergents, etc (infact DO NOT use water or detergent).

I have read in a thread that you can fill the box with kero, then start the car and without the clutch you push the gearstick into each gear as if you were changing gears but not so hard. Apparently that allows the synchro's to open up and cleans them, then drain it out and fill with oil.... Thinking of this as it sounds about right but not 100% sure... also cant get the drain plug out!! :D

thanks guys! i ended up just cleaning the mag plug. theres was so much crap on it i was a little shocked. oil was nasty too, but the change in new oil made the gearbox feel awesome, its almost as if i've done a complete overhaul. lucky!

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
