Took a gtr bell housing off to inspect the gearset. Took the cover plate off from inside the bell housing that reviels the 2 circlips and washer ont he shifter rod. Took off all the bolts that go through the sandwich plate, also removed the retainer with ball bearing and spring that holds it in gear then tapped off the bellhousing....no problem. I reversed the process and now it wont find neutral and when you put it in gear it jams the box up.

Generally i dont ask these type of questions because its too hard to diagnose over the net, but has anyone had a similar problem or have I missed something?

Cheers

Take the bellhousing back off. There is a stainless washer that lives at the end of the cluster shaft. It is probably misaligned.

You will find that it will probably not bind in gear anymore once you undo the sandwich plate bolts as pressure is then taken off the cluster shaft.

To correctly put the bellhousing back on, get two blocks of wood the same thickness. Put them about 15-20cm apart so that the bellhousing can sit on them and so that when you put the rest of the gearbox in, the input shaft won't touch the ground.

Put the washer into the bellhousing first, then drop the rest of the gearbox on top

Cheers ill have a look tonight or tomorrow, worst comes to worst i have another gtr box i can pull off the bell housing and check the differences!

Edit, i did take the bell housing off and it binds even with the bell housing off. When the shifter is in neutral it feels as if it in gead and when you turn the input shaft the output turns, and when you select a gear it binds up.

The stainless washer you are talking about is it a thrust washer (bearing)?

noticed that the felector fork would go one 3rd syncro nicly i think it is, but wouldnt slide all the way onto 4th gear synco, a nice tap with the hammer on the input shaft aligned (loosened) it and now its all working sweet. Not sure what happened there.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
