Gday.

Is anyone able to tell me​ what gearbox is in a R33 skyline, 40th Anniversary if it makes any difference. 3rd and 4th gear grinds into gear so need to find a 2nd hand gearbox but can't find one for the life of me.

GTST Manual by the way​.

Thanks for any help, much appreciated.​

Try changing the oil in it with redline lightweight shockproof first. You'll need 3.5 litres. It may or may not make your problems go away.

Then it will eat all your synchros away (like it did in my car)

Do not use Redline Shockproof if you want the box to last. I made that mistake, now my box grinds 3rd to 5th.

The op's box is already grinding. If the shockproof stops it then it would be a win for him.

EBay. Around $20 a bottle. U will need 4. Depending where u live u may be able to pick up. Alternatively you can get tubes of nulon smooth shift that johnny suggested from supercheapshit auto.

Why does it only have to last a few weeks?

I already put 1 bottle of smooth shift in it, and it didn't really do much.


I'm getting a 2nd box rebuilt so this one only has to last a few weeks until the other one is sorted.

I was suggested put 2 smooth shifts in it, and some flash lube heavy duty oil stabilizer.

I'm more then happy to spend the $80 to have a less grindy gearbox for the time being lol. Still gotta source a gearbox and shit yet :)

How much smooth shift do I stick in it? And is that flash lube heavy duty stuff good enough?

Once upon a time, my GT-R got a split clutch hose (standard rubber). I had to drive the car home with no clutch, only had one use of it to move the car from stand still. Luckily I managed to get a couple of green lights before getting onto the motorway.

You don't need a clutch to drive the car, but if you stop, you'll have to move it on the starter or something.

Don't need a tacho to rev match, can do it from sound and 'feel'. The single synchro gearbox in my R31 is quite slow, but I can drive it smoothly. I can drive my GT-R by lazy rev matching and it's quite smooth (super heavy clutch).

Don't shift quickly, keep the revs up and practice. You'll get the hang of it, then can apply it to your new box :P.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
