Hey guys..

I have a S2 R33 GTST manual. Now i have searched and could not come up with a real answer. The other day i let my brother drive my skyline to get fuel for it because it just sits in my driveway getting started every second day (waiting to get licence back before i can drive it)

Anyway we went for a little drive about 30mins or so and when we got home i noticed it was hard to put the car in first gear. It kind of cluncked but didnt grind.. Straight away i thought it was clutch/throwout bearing BUT when i started the car today it was fine to go into gear? So its like hard to get into gear when oil is hot but easy when its cold?? Clutch or oil?? throwout bearing is making a noise at the moment.


Thanks

This is only my opinion, but it seems like an expensive task when the situation could be made better by changing the oil ($100ish) rather than a clutch which it might not need (Clutch - $500? Machine flywheel $50, new flywheel bolts $65, pressure plate bolts $15 - $65 and a lot of work)

Either way, new clutches are always nice.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
