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?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
