hey guys sup! just needed some advice / help

i get a faint "grind" when changing into 4th gear only during 6-7rpm however when i change below that its fine and normal and theres no issue's, changing to any other gear at high rom's there isnt an issue and its all good except for 4th gear i would explain it as a "faint" grind as if some one didnt change gears properly and didnt put the clutch down but not as bad... yes i even made sure the clutch was fully down before going up in gear from 3rd to 4th gear and it still happened at those high rpm's otherwise anylower rpm below 6 is fine so basically is my gear ratio's out or is it my clutch...(doubt it but a possiblity) and if you do know what the problem is... whats the cost and who is it best to go to to get it done i live north side of the river. ( bahahahahaha awww shit i hope its not expensive but when it comes to gear box's ... ='( .... )

anyways any help is appreciated, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Skyline gears boxes are like that.

rofl, no they don't all f**k the synchro's.

but yes, that does sound like the synchro's on fourth going..

you can try some fresh oil, but it will only mask the problem for so long.

if you're shifting at 6k+ RPM in 4th gear dude you must be going pretty damn fast...

if that's the only time i wouldn't be phased, lol i assume you don't drive that fast all the time?

hhahahaha i drive fast all the time an this is the 1st time its happened an that's why im asking these questions cause its never happened b4 hahaha :P yea dont think theres fresh oil in the gearbox... but umm say if it blows... now i highly doubt that... "Touch wood" how much would it cost to replace or repair or get a good working gearbox in or would i be better off upgrading while im at it... i am looking at modding the car since i have a grand to go to paying it off... and well its time to go nuts... ive had the car for a year its a 95 model an ummm mmm yea.... ive heard that its common for R33's gearbox's sync's to go a bit funny... any rough ideas on costs?

once again guys thnx for all the info u share appreciating it ^.^

The only thing to upgrade to is a PPG gearset or something similarly expensive, I highly doubt you're going to blow your box up though.

y would u jump to such an extreme scenario? firstly a ppg is a straight cut box with no synchos just dog rings and not really suitable for street driving due to the whining they make and roughness of the gearchanges. aksi they cost like $10k. all u need to do is put redline shockproof gearoil in it for now that will stop the grinding and prolong the smoothness of ur box. once the synchos get bad enuff that the oil doesnt make a difference anymore then u should look at getting ur syncho set replaced. sure its a lil pricey but it will feel like u are driving a brand new car.

also if ur interested in upgrades before u look at the ppg gbox there is the option of eg. os giken gearsets. last tiem i looked liek 3k from japan

no, not all PPG boxes are straight cut dog boxes.

you can get helical gears with synchro's if you like. hell, you can even get a mixture of straight cut and helical gears.

the 33 gts-t gearsets are pretty strong, just get the synchro's replaced, and you will more than likely be right.

i've seen one last quite some time with 600hp being thrown at it.. :)

If its the car im thinking of, it cops an absolute thrashing to :)

Is that because you can't shift properly? :rofl:

LOL i can shift properly hahaha... but yea thnx for the info so this "redline shockproof gearoil" where do i gets eeet from? i take it from a performance shop... like... xspeed or somethin?

coventrys sell it

get the heavyweight shockproof, as the lightweight isn't designed for syncho-type boxes.

ok well thnx for ur advice, guess ill do this 4 now an then fix the syncro's when they actually need it... its very faint and only one gear at ridiculas speeds so its not a real issue i just tend to wanna know what i need to know before things get worse.

I was talking to Brad :D

My box crunches 2nd slightly if I rush it and I was considering some Redline shockproof oil but my mechanic said don't bother/don't waste my money.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • 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.
