just noticed today when i went to go into third gear, as soon as i shift up and then proceed to load it up, it jumps out of gear. and same deal with 4th aswell. 1st, 2nd and 5th are all fine.

iv had trouble pretty much since i got the box in the car last year of it going into 3rd and 4th, usually grinding itself in under only moderate load. what is the possible cause and solution to this? I am able to hold the gear in manually with the shifter but as soon as i let go it lets go aswell.

cheers...

My guess is that the spring behind the detent ball has broken, and as such does not hold the selector rod in place. You might be able to replace the spring without removing the 'box.

if that was the case wouldnt any gears hold?

its been a while since i rebuilt my box (same box) and im having trouble visualizing things but 3rd and 4th i think are on the same selector fork so thats where the problem lies. from what you describe, it sounds like it never really did this before. usually when cars start jumping out of gear it only does it occasionally for starters and gets progressively worse as the fork wears. but in your case it sounds like its gone from good one day, to not work at all the next, that i find really strange. but yeah sounds like its time for an overhaul.

i thought the detent ball/springs only acted to move the shifter back to the central position when not in gear? if thats correct then that wouldnt have much to do with this? or if i've got this wrong.. ignore lol

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
