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

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • 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.
