Hey people,

Ok was selling my car until a couple days ago i put the car in reverse to get out of the drive way then took off and what a suprise 3,4th and reverse is gone.

I was going to buy a second hand gearbox but i would rather rebuild my own because i know where its been. Ive heard alot of stories where people buy boxes and there just about to go anyway.

So i wanna rebuild the box and i might aswell do the clutch while its all out.

Can anyone tell me whats the best clutch for a gts-t with 300rwkw? Something that will be durable, The car will be street driven but only once a week so not really botheres on a hardcore clutch which will increase the cars performance in anyway possible?

Also if anyone can direct me towards someone who specialises in the rb25det box rebuild? I dont want to just give the box to someone who doesnt really give a shit about it.

Thanks :D

Did the gears blow on you or you just couldn't select/engage them in the first place? It's unusual for three gears to go at once unless you've destroyed the cluster. Try to steer from second hand if you can...you have the right idea...it's very lucky dip, particularly from wreckers who won't warranty the things (can you blame them?).

Either a Jim Berry or an Exedy cushion button IMO.

I actually called this place on botany and the bloke also told me it could be the cluster.

What confuses me now is that i started the car today and it was going into gear fine? (weird). You can tell theres a problem but it was fine.

Compared to the other day ( It was popping out of third, and wouldnt even select 4th then when i would put it in reverse it was like the gear stick was stuck in there and wouldnt come out.)

Either way if im going to have to take the cluster out. I would rather get the box checked and clutch replace. Or am i just on another planet and dont know what the hell im talking bout?

Thanks for your help guys

Hmmm tough call, you have an odd set of symptoms there. Wouldn't know what's wrong with it until you pull the box apart I'm afraid. What kind of noises is it making if any? Grinds, whines, rumbles, crunches?

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
