Hi guys,

the other day I decided to rev it out a lil through 1st to 5g's and I changed to 2nd quick but not like i was slamming it in and I heard a crunch and it felt like the car bogged down and I though ohh shit i think i just ***d something.

Then I realised it was in 4th, stupid me :P

Since that happened the gear go in smoother now, could something be wrong?

Also i used to feel a lil bump wen changing into 4th at higher rpm's no its gone.

what do you guys think could i have damaged anything?

i dont hear any noises and it feels normal.

:D

Sounds like one of those unexplainable freaky things. Maybe the load on the gearbox when placed into four resulted in a minor shifting of an intenal part. Don't worry too much about it as the skyline boxes can easily handle harsher punishment. Just be glad that the outcome was good. Now you know what to do, if the previous problem comes back :D.

I'll just add what I was telling you Mark. A month or so back I had similar. Came home one night after a long drive (200km or so). Had a few very hard launches just as i was almost home. One hard launch CRUNCH into 2nd.. then every gear pretty much it would have troubles going into. and was crunching seriously and making very bad grindy noises.

Seriously thought my clutch, or worse gearbox was fried (it seemed more gearbox than clutch as it wasn't slipping, but I could be wrong). Next day, was still doing it, agg, this was bad - was hoping severely it was just a heat related problem. Left it for a few days. Started behaving a lot more reasonably, still the slight crunch as it went into gears though. For the next few days after that it gradually got more and more reasonable, and eventually back to totally normal as it has always been. Seems like it had "repaired" itself or maybe the internals had aligned them selves correctly again. No idea! And still no idea to this day, and I don't have much idea of how a gearbox really works other than it has "synchros" and "selector forks" to get it into gears. Never sure it was the gearbox or clutch related problem. Anybody have any suggestions?

You have to remember though, the gearboxes aren't unbreakable. I am sure I could hose my gearbox if I really tried hard enough over a long enough period, even with 190rwkw or so... just with hard geardowns, long gearups (just my driving style i guess) its starting to show its wear.

In my R30, I had rattles and clunks coming from it for ages, and some vibrations... Then I decided to do some burnouts and 'nuts. The car seemed to go alright still, until I accelerated accross and intersection on the way to the video store once, and there was a loud Crunch, bang, clunk.... rattle rattle..... And I had no movement... And car wouldn't rev lol...

That was funny...

I know what it was... do you?

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?

      I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again

      Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!

      curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
