Hi,

Hope someone can tell me the easy fix for this problem or solution.

My gearbox makes whiny scraping noises when I put the car into gear and get off the clutch.

Doesnt feel like anything is wrong but im not sure what damage it can cause on the inside.

Thanks for any replies.

maybe try to take a decent vid/ audio of it and also flesh out a few details like I said above.

They are 15-20 yr old cars now and they do make many noises...

Otherwise, one of my first recommendations to anyone purchasing a skyline is to go and dump the gearbox oil and put in some fresh high quality synthetic stuff. They are old cars and have probably gone a long time without an oil change in the gearbox or diff. Changing it will make the gearbox so much nicer and also fix many niggles in the synchros.

At the same time you can have a mechanic test drive it and give you a recommendation on what the noise my be and fixes.

Has the clutch been replaced/upgraded at any point?

    • To be determined, Luke, to be determined. 😁 Definitely the car
    • It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair
    • The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol
    • If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.
    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
