long story short i bought my r31 and it needed a new gearbox and thrust bearing i got them changed and lately something hasnt been going right. it all started when i would shift into 2nd gear to easy without finding the gap it would just go in when i put it towards 2nd and lately when iv been holding the clutch in theres been a rattle noise as im letting it go and in gear. the worst is when im in reverse and im playing with the clutch so i dont stall it. Also the clutch feels soft so the only thing i can think of right now is that the clutch wasnt aligned correctly when they fixed my thrust bearing. also to add with the shifting of gearboxes its like impossible to get into reverse without the gears crunching a lil and the box is a recod box so it shouldn't have any problems at all. does anyone have a clue what the problem is?

If the clutch isn't aligned correctly, the gearbox won't go on.

You have oil in the gearbox? (don't flame me for that, I know it's been done before)

The clutch master has fluid? Been bled properly?

I assume thats all been done when i got the gbox replaced and the clutch fluid was changed on my service now if it was done properly i have no clue.

I was thinking that it might be my clutch master but im not 2 sure.

Someone has told me it might be my link pin thats short

tried adjusting the clutch? there is an adjustment on the pushrod where the pedal goes to the master cylinder, loosen the nut and wind the pushrod into the master a little then tighten the nut. dont over adjust it but. or the clutch might slip.

as long as there is a little freeplay on the pedal it will be sweet

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
