i have just installed my nismo shifter into my R33 Series 2 Skyline.. Im not exactly sure if all the original shifter parts are there. i have started by putting the wavy circular bit of metal in the shaft first, then applied the yellow plastic bit for the shifter to slot into. the shifter had come with a circular bit of plastic alread on the shifter that slotted into the yellow bit from before... i then put the two metal circular thingos into the shaft to hold the shifter down.. the end result is that the shifter can move upwards about 3mm or so and go back down.. is there supposed to be slight movement or is it supposed to be pretty tight????????? Thanks guys!

Pics will help :)

But I think your talking about there being movement up and down (a small gap between the top shifter plastic retainer and circlip). If so I know mine (Custom Solid short shifter I made from the standard shifter) has a small amount of play, I dont think its anything to worry about if it still shifts gear fine and the movement isnt excessive

There should be a metal spacer that sits in the bottom before everything else goes in...if you've bought this second hand, chances ard it's sitting in the box it came out of...I know because I bought a 2nd hand C's shifter and it didn't come with the spacer so I had the same up and down movement you've got...

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
