Hi guys,

I have 94 32 GTR. My gears feels very crunchy especially when it's cold. Takes around 50ks to be ok.1st gear is very hard to put in. It has a short shifter put in it. Not sure if it's masking the syncros. Doesn't feel smooth at all. Very stiff n rigid. It's crunchy when put into 1st,then changing into 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th. But the crunch is worse at 1st,2nd and 3rd. I need advice. Pls help.

Thanks.

As Nizmo said maybe start budgeting for a GB rebuild.

Check your gear shifter bush (standard is white plastic washer at the end of your gear stick)

Change your GB oil and I'd suggest going a stock Shift stick.

(under $100 new, a lot less for 2nd hand).

32's are also known for being more difficult to get into gear when the GB is older and cold

Short shifters are naturally harder to get into gear so this just exasperates your issue

-> mashing the Syncro's on your gearset <-

now take time to warm it up and change slower. take the advice above

save up to put something like an OS gieken gearset into it.

Unless your a racecar driver or got money to throw at something better that is !

It's a 32GTR and the gearbox / syncros are the worst of the bunch and they're OLD

Thx guys! I might go back to a normal shifter and prob change the bushing too. Is there anything else u guys reckon I shd change jus to keep it going? Not exactly the rite financial time to get another box.

The synchros are worn down too far to allow the gear to slow down enough to engage. Hence why its crunching

Just baby it or try double clutching until you can afford a 2nd hand box or rebuild

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
