I find in both dads and mine R32's 1st is very hard to select. Ill only use it to get off the line after coming to a stand still.

Its no big deal.. the cars have enough torque to get around at quite low RPM in second gear.

Double clutch it.

There is no synchro on first gear.

I didnt even realise i subcontiously do this too..

But are you sure? I swear when I opened my box up the last time I saw a syncro. Could it be different from GTST to GTS4?

I believe there are synchros on 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th but not on 1st and reverse.. someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong ;)
My 1974 180B SSS had synchro on 1st. My 1971 240Z had synchro on 1st. I think my dad's 1968 XT Falcon wagon had synchro on 1st (it was an option, but it was there).

If your R32 doesn't have synchro on 1st, then it's because the synchro is rooted, not because Nissan didn't design it with synchro.

It won't have synchro on reverse.

So a bunch of mixed answers

Does anyone no for definite why it would crunch changing into first whilst moving

It literally wouldnt let me select first gear while moving

Im pretty much making a decision about the car tonight so an answer before then would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

How slow were you going when trying to push it in.

Most cars dont go into first very easily rolling, but if you had to completely stop them imo thats not normal, no.

I can get my R34 box into first without crunching pretty easily when still rolling

before i bought my car i had this exact problem. my box is the standard R33 GTSt25 box (not sure if they carried it over from the 32?)

yes it did have syncro in first.

yes it was rooted.

dealers solution was to through a spare gearbox in.

what you get from buying with a dealer :P

so from that id say your syncros f**ked. your choice on what you should do about it.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
