Hey

Was giving my GTR a bit of a hard time yesterday and now there seems to be a slight issue with the gearbox/clutch engaging

I put the clutch into the floor and when I attempt to change gears it crunches, much like when the clutch isn't engaged

Clutch doesn't slip, not even on high RPM or launching but its starting to crunch 4th gear now even on low RPM levels

I thought it may be the slave or master cylinder leaking pressure and not providing enough clamping pressure on the pressure plate to clutch, causing it to crunch but my dad checked both and it seems neither is leaking

Fluid looks clean with no leaks, according to service records the fluid has been recently changed

Any other thoughts or ideas on what it could be causing the problem

Thanks

Okay, well I thought I had it all sorted but it has started happening again

I topped up the fluid as it was a little low, pumped the clutch with the lid off and then tried again and it was fine for a few days, now its started doing it again on the odd occasion

Sometimes its fine then on randomly it will crunch into 4th for no reason

Does anyone know what the fk is up with it??

I'm going to drain the clutch fluid and put new fluid in it next week, then bleed the clutch. Hopefully that does it but some how I don't think its that as the clutch seems to work fine, no slip or anything and grips in every other gear

Thanks

It wont. If it was the clutch it would crunch all gears. No?

Dude its 4th synchro, theyre dynamite for crunching. Redline doesnt help either. Its not as miraculous as most say...

Might as well start looking for a new box lol, thats what I did! Fixed it real good.

It's happened in the past and it's been the clutch, in a previous car I had it was doing exactly the same thing but it was the pressure plate failing due to being weak causing the clutch not to engage 100% therefor making it hard to put it into gear

Also on the forums the cheap clutches that SLIDE was selling, EXEDY clutch plate and OEM pressure plate eventually started to do the same thing

Thanks

I have a GTS4 with a fairly badly crunching 4th.

Why not just try slowing down the speed of gear change?

Double clutch/heel-and-toe gears down.

5th -> Neutral -> 4th

Blipping throttle helps too

Yeah that's what I do to avoid it crunching but I'd rather not do that forever

I found with mine that double clutching did nothing - I noticed however that clutching, bringing the gearstick back slightly and allowing the revs to drop before putting it into 4th makes it smooth again 99% of the time - does not work for downshifts though so I just go straight to third, I'll try some Redline Shockproof Lightweight until ! can get the money together to try and get another GTR/Stagea box!

Hey I know this is off the topic a little. My car use to crunch first at the lights and if you where a little miss timed with the clutch on the gaer change it would crunch. I got my clutch changed because all of a sudden I had a large vibration. I had cracked my flywheel. After replacing it I never crunched again. I think I am lucky my flywheel didn't let go when it finally decided to go. The only thing holding it together was the ring gear. So now I am alway carful when my car starts to crunch.

Yeah that's what I do to avoid it crunching but I'd rather not do that forever

my 4th gear synchro's have been bad since the day i bought the car. as most are saying, its a very common problem in the GTR's. ive been "double clutching" the whole time. it helps it to the point where its virtually un-noticable. and if you get it right you can change almost as fast as you normally would. you just need to make sure that you match the revs.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
