hey people i got a 1993 r32 gtst rb20det!

the original gear box blew the centre bearing,

i thought do it properly and bought a re-built box from a local importer,

thought it was properly until, the box blew 3rd gear, just doing a simple down shift ready 2 speed up, with all but 1 tooth left on the gear.

the importer replaced it under warrany, hopefully would all be ok,

then that box died and a syncro moved around 5mm away from the gear.

that box was replaced under warranty also.

next box thought would be ok, 5th gear just seemed 2 dissapear one day and started too demolish the rest of the box,

took it back importer said it was because i didn change the spigot when i did the first box, so he replaced that and put another box in under warranty,

well now that next box has lost 5th... same noises same problem as the last one, put it in 5th and there is just nothin there, has a massive wine on idle and driving!

any ideas why this one might have blown the same thing?? no its not my driving either!!

thanks a lot

any opinions would help!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
