hi im wondering how to drop the gearbox of my 1990 gts-t skyline.

the previous owner had put in a new engine and clutch but the pressure plate went and so the car can select gears but wont move. research put me in the dirction of throw out bearing and pressure plate needing to be changed.

please, any help will be useful.

My clutch change DIY for the GTR might help a bit. Yours will be a lot easier being a gts-t. Dont assume the previous owner understood what the problem was or was being honest. Pressure plates dont usually die AFAIK. Replacement clutch kits include clutch plate, pressure plate and throw out bearing.

You want someone to type out a step by step guide to removing your gearbox?

Do you even search?

I guess i was being too specific in my search. Seeing as it is a rear wheel drive and not the awd (which is what i was finding info on) i figured things would be different. Im a noob, to the skyline but not to driving fast cars (2jzgte etc), so thats why im asking advice here. respect

If you can't just figure out how to pull the box out you shouldn't pull the box out.

So i guess it makes sense to change the entire clutch kit rather than just getting new bearings and pressure plate.

Thanks! I was told the pressure plate was going like i said (the rattling noise) and i figured the throw out bearing would go hand in hand with that, but since i was also told the clutch was new and needed to be broken in, i was hoping i wouldnt have to buy a new kit. But the burning smell is strong like something is constantly rubbing.Im gonna pull it down and take pictures and keep the site posted. Thanks!

And im new to skyline, so bare with me.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
