hey guys,

I have a 93' NA 33 - and gears seems to be fairly smooth, except when for example coming up to a light/round about - i go to shift down into first and it wont go in...

If i try and force it it crunches BAD - so i need to hold clutch in while rolling forward with a slight pressure on it then it will go in....

Problem with gearbox? Oil change help...i brought it a month ago and haven't looked at oil level/type in there...

idea's?

no need to be rude gluey
life aint fairy tails... Its a BITCH so get used to it!! :(

on the seriouse side, I dont think I was rude on that comments, think about it you doing 20kmph around corner/round about then you get compression lock cuz you put into 1st gear then you take out pedespraints or pole or end up gutter somewhere.... well it can happen wet/oil slick roads (especially roundabouts)

so why is worng to tell youngun to how to properly drive. and if its RUDE... so be it.

yeah dude dont shift into first, stay in second unless youve completely stopped.

it wont do any harm staying in second, even if you roll to 0km/h. just clutch in if you feel the engine shudder (stall point). you can even take off from 0km/h in second gear and its fine

if your really keen and wanna challenge you can even try taking off in 3rd

first should only be used when taking off and thats it, never go into whilst moving

its a struggle :(

First Rule: Unless you've come to a complete stop, don't ever put it back into 1st whilst still moving. You *can* put it into 1st when at a reaaaaaaaaaly slow crawl but that's not even necessary... 2nd will do fine even from there.

And even if you're "< 10km/h", it's obviously still too fast, because it'll do exactly what you're describing.

"i go to shift down into first and it wont go in... If i try and force it it crunches BAD"

Second Rule: NEVER FORCE YOUR GEARBOX. It's telling you "NO!" for a reason. Great way to fcuk up your gearbox mate.

Third rule: Read "First Rule" again.

These are pretty basic driving skills dude sad2.gif

I can never get my box into 1st gear >20kmh unless I force it, or I double clutch. At first I thought my box was rooted, but I find that almost any car with any decent ks on it behaves exactly the same! A good oil change with Castrol VMX 80 will help things.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
