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

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
