hey all with wisedom out their

im driving a 350rwkw rb30det cefiro with a rb25 box and nismo short shifter

iv just got this really strange intermitent problem when while im driving the shifter kinda of locks up. almost goes so tight that even in the neutral position i have to use both hands to wobble the shifter side to side.. then out of no where it will kinda of knock and go back to normal.. its happened twice now and is not a good thing to experience whilst in traffic

when i was putting the shifter back in the box the little plastic bush on the end of the shifter did fall into the gearbox threw the shifter hole, i was under the impresion it would have either fallen to the bottom of the box or being plastic have crushed before causing any damage.

any ideas what could cause this?

also what are the symptoms of a bent or broken selector fork??

cheeers in advance guy's ;)

any help appreciated

tom

yeah i replaced the bush that fell off with a bush off the standard shifter.. shes still on their..

any way the bush could be slightly wedged against the gearbox housing and the selector fork or somthing?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
