Hi Guys,

I have been having some issues with my drive train in the r33 gtr. Not entirely sure how to fix the issue, hence the thread creation. I've tried searching what I can but can't seem to find a problem similar to mine.

This issue specifically happens only in reverse. I have no issues selecting gears or changing gears, the gearbox runs perfect except when I am trying to reverse (gear already selected) it feels as if the car has no power and struggles to move backwards.

After reversing I re-engage my clutch to select a gear and I can hear a massive 'clunk' type noise which is quite loud and could be heard from outside the car a few meters. The noise definitely sounds like it is coming from the gearbox and transfer case region but my ears could be lying to me as the noise is quite loud.

I haven't ever heard the noise between gears but it may have happened while in neutral and selecting first. The link between the two would be that the car is stationary.

Could there be an internal problem within the gearbox causing the lack of power delivery? It wouldn't be the selector fork as I would have issues selecting gears.

I have thought of the drive shafts being an issue or the differentials and I plan on checking the joints when I have the car on jack stands in a few days.

Final thought is that the transfer case could be a problem, hoping it is.

Looking to see if anyone has any ideas of what the problem might be or similar issues as I don't want to particularly pull the entire drive train out for fun.

Cheers.

There's not only one selector fork in a gearbox. There's one for every plane in the box. So you can break one and not be able to select, say, 5th and reverse, or 1st and 2nd. And maybe you could break one in such a way that you can select one of the gears in a plane but not the other. So it is possible that you have done something to a selector.

But there are a dozen other things that could be wrong. It's box out time if you ask me. Internet diagnosis is not going to be easy on this one.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
