Hey fellas,

Anyone have a issue with their gearbox opening when changing gears under power?

My last 3 R32's have all had the issue and it drives me insane and I'm yet to come up with a solution. I'm just about ready to tech screw the stupid thing closed forever :)

Any ideas/solutions???

Cheers

Simon

And no, never had a problem with the glovebox either!

lol well played.

actually yes I have exactly the same issue.

in my race car the dash and glovebox are a little crooked from the cage install. As a result if I close the glovebox straight up it does not latch properly, but it looks like it is OK and stays closed until the launch. If you push it to the right when you close it, it is OK. which is a long way of saying....check it is latching properly. When closed properly it never comes open even crashes

Yeah the latch seems to leave a few mm gap when it is in the "closed" position... When enough force is added (through brutal gear changes) it just squeezes through the gap.

The latch isn't opening, just dodgy clearances... DAMN NISSANS

I've had this problem. Bought a new glovebox and realised it didn't fix the issue so I just grabbed some pliers and bent some things in the latch... :mellow: It stays shut now

do the gloveboxes in the 32 slide into place (can you remove them by opening then pulling them up, or something like that). if you can, then it may be worth looking at pulling it out and putting a bit of plastic or cardboard at the bottom of the slot that it sits it so that the glovebox sits higher. this should make the latch have better contact. or have a look at the latch and see if can be moved up at all.

Thanks for the idea, I just got a set of plyers and bent the f**k out of it!

Now seems to latch and hold :)

    • 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.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • 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
