Sorry to bring this thread back up guys...

Well the car hasnt really moved much since i have been locked out of reverse gear. Tonight i was just cleaning out the car and reverse gear is no longer locked out and is in perfect working condition.

Does anyone have any idea what might of happened?

:( nah i wish it was that simple.... I took the gear boot off at the time to check... The only thing i did was take the car for a drive acouple of weeks ago and just pushed the car out.... Any ideas would be great...

dunno, just save some extra cash for if it fails again :D, nd try to reverse into all the car park spots you go into, dont wanna come back to the car in a parking lot and not be able to get out if its at a slight angle uphill you wont be ableto push it by yourself

if it does do it again, it could most likely be the reverse lock spring that you talked about. it happened in mine. the spring from a patrol gear box works. the gearbox needs to be lowered a little to get access to the side panel. its a bitch of a job without a hoist etc. cost me i think around $300 to fix.

Maybe the lock pin was out of place a little cos the spring is damaged? possibly its stuffed and its just a matter of time before it pops out completely?

i drove my car for 2 weeks without reverse. lucky its a massive car park at work and i lived on a hill and could roll down the driveway backwards!

If it's a one off it can just be the gearset not lined up to engage reverse while the car is still...reverse is usually a straight cut gear too. Other than that, when locked in and out of gears, pushing/rocking the car can undo the issue if it's selector/synchro related.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
