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.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
