Hey guys,

My R33 GTR clutch is on its way out so i need to take off the gearbox to get to it.

I've searched through a couple pages looking for a tutorial or tips on how to remove, as they are fairly big and look fairly complicated compared to GTS-T gearboxes.

My main concerns is the atessa system and will it be affected when the box is removed, also will anything up front need to be removed as the engine needs to tilt back a bit to slide it out. Another thing is the 4wd shaft that goes to the front diff.

If you guys have anything in mind at all that might help me, please post up :rolleyes:

Cheers guys!! :laugh:

If you have big hands, get smaller ones.

Get a cheap 12mm (or 14mm... can't remember) and cut it down to get to the starter motor bolts. Or some stubby spanners. Also, get as many extensions as you can on your socket to reach the top bellhousing bolts.

It won't affect ATTESSA.

If it is a pull type you need to knock the pin out on the pivot fork from the outside.

Get a strong mate to help you catch the gearbox when it falls!

it wont affect the attessa but you will have to bleed it after you re-install the box.

pretty sure its 12mm for the starter motor bolts, get a short ratchet ring spanner,

there is a pretty comprehensive write up in the members tutorials which should help,

I made up a little cradle that mounted on my floor jack to support the box while you lower it and slid it back, saves wrestling with 80kgs of awkardness whilst on your back..

tip 1 : disconnect battery first ( basic I know ) then get inside car while still clean and remove shifter..

2 disconnect intercooler piping to allow engine to tilt back, when you get the stage of removing gearbox crossmember, use the trolley jack to support the back of the gearbox and lower it slowly so it doesn't just drop. you'll be surprised how much it tilts down..

I think the rest is pretty well covered, just take your time, first time is always a bit daunting.

good luck

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
