yes all ... well it had to happen!!!

freezing my a$$ off on the freeway by myself for half and hour after having ur car F@@@ up on ya isnt the best feeling in the world! and seeing like 5 skylines fly past didnt help either!!!:D

iv been told it may not be the clutch but maybe the driveline..

cos the car starts in gear and the rear wheels spind (when spun by hand) when in gear..

guess ill have to postpone the FMI and take it some where to see whats up..

not impressed at all!!!!

na after i found out the 5K lauches were bad i stopped doin them..

btw thanx ryan for letting me make like 5million phone calls from your phone!!!

The car starts in gear ? This would be one of the first things to indicate a blown clutch.

Ummm....sounds like clutch, again, the gearbox would allow the rear wheels to free spin if the clutch was not clamping. interesting..if that was the case the clutch must of destoried itself completely and really badly.

Driveline stuff usually either packs it in over a period of time and you know its coming or it just goes BANG...but you would of surely heard something, or see stuff broken.....

my two cents....

And it does sound like you've been trashing it...5k lanuchs...tisk tisk.....Tryouts for the Fast and Furious 2 ???

Hard luck Eug, was it the stock clutch? It was just a bit strange that it suddenly went like that. My clutch slipped for a month or so till it finally wouldn't move the car. Was around the corner from the mechanics when it died. My dad towed me in my old pulsar, but i too had badly injurred the clutch in that too, in the end we got to the mechanics with 2 cars and 2 dead clutches.:D

Yeah thats what I was thinking ?30 PSI...Like having a speedo with 320 kph on it...no point

A gearbox broke on a standard setup....my limited knowledge is telling me that I doubt that very much unless someone has flat shifted or shifting without the clutch alot....maybe multiple k launchs too...

I'd get a second opinon as well...The gearboxs are suppose to be on standard, even mild to mid setups.

Nick might be able to comment here...

I know the synchros are usually rooted from Jap driving styles, they lean on 4th gear and put pressure on the shifter while driving, also the amount of highways they have, they tend to use 5th alot, which is basically a overdrive gear anyway...so at worst the synrchos would be rooted....

but a broken gearbox on a car with what about 65-68k on it...doubt it

my two cents

Im no gearbox expert, but the only way you blow a gearbox if thrashing the **** of out of as peak said. Having said that the box could have had issues so user abuse might not be the case. Either way it normally would take some harsh treatment to break.

Good luck getting it all sorted out Eugene....!

get a loan and throw in a trust 6 speed :D

lol thanx guys. i got a loan for the car..

i dont need more debts..

the guy said it could be from the way it was driven in jap, he gets alot of 180s that ppl have for a few weeks and gear box just goes for np apparent reason..

so whats this rocket industries thing??

i want it to go to 30psi for the same reson that ppl get guages to 2bar instead of 1.5bar..

im thinking ahead...

in that FAR future when i changet the turbo and a sh1t load of other things ill prob. be running more than 20 psi.. i hate doing things twice!

thats,, :D

To tune a R33GTS-t to run boost safely at 20+psi, I rekon you'd almost be able to get a R32 GTR, if you used the money spendt on mods plus the sale of your car.

After Computer, headgasket, clutch, intercooler, injectors, fuel pump and regulator, oil cooler, oil catch can.......uuummm the list would be endless.

Don't get me wrong, it'll be an awsome piece of work...but perfer a GTR....I know you said "FAR" into the future...But I was going to do the same...holding back until I get the cash saved for the GTR.

I'm not even buying mags for my R33....just want that GTR. :D

Nah...I'm waiting till I have enough cash saved to buy a R32GTR outright, maybe end this year to mid next year.

Then I can sell the R33 GTS-t and use the cash off the sale of that for Mods and Full Comprehensive Insurance (with all mods listed too).

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
