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.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
