hey guys, im driving a r33 series 2 auto lately as i hardly touch my clubby. last night when i was driving it something seemed wierd. it was revving 4000rpm the whole time when i pulled over stopped the engine and started it again. same thing happened.

since ive owned the car i have never used the 1st, 2nd gear as ive always put into d (drive). however the whole night and today as i took it for another test drive it seems 3rd and 4th gear not kicking in no matter what i do. i rang up a few places and they said as i have assumed the gearbox was gone.

i was thinking about buying an evo7 a month ago but now that this happened i cant really sell it. the question is should i go on changing it to a manual then sell or just stick and replace another box. i will be drving it for a while after this is fixed.

just want to see any opinions on this and how much roughly would a auto trans gearbox etc fitted would cost compared to manual?

regards richard.

may i also add that ive noticed something wrong with the transmission about 2 weeks ago when i stopped at lights when accelerated it revved to 4500rpm but didnt go anywhere then suddenly jerked forward. so im guessing its time for the gearbox to go.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
