Hey Guys

Im having Issues with my Skyline , when im in high rev's and i put my car from 3rd to 4th gear it crunches or from 5th to 4th so basically my 4th gear is rooted.

Anyways i need a honest mechanic that does repairs on gear boxes

Western Suburbs area would be convenient.

If anyone knows of a mechanic it would be greatly appreciated if you could forward their details

Thanks :Oops:

yeah ill do that striaght away

but i just dont understand why its only happening in Gear 4

just wondering where i can get Redline Lightweight Shockproof from?

happens to a lot of the Skyline boxes (different gears not just 4th). Mine struggles to get into 1st when stationary but other than that it's fine.

you can get redline shockproof from Unique Autosports :cheers:http://www.nismo.com.au/

I had the same problem in my R33 GTSt.

It got pretty bad one night at a street meet. Every run it would crunch slightly going into 4th no matter how much clutch I had in.

Went into Unique Autosports a couple of weeks later to get Redline stuff put into the diff and gearbox and I can't believe how smoother it is, gears go in so smooth, feels brand new.

After you change the oil if it is still crunchy dont worry about it too much, it is very common and driving normally it shouldnt be too annoying, downshifting just double clutch if its that bad, but definetly dont go get the rebuilt just because of crucnhing, they are all like that :)

double clutch when u downshift if u cant get it into gear (google it if u dont know what it is)

but still definetly change the gbox oil...u dont have to get redline but it seems to work (more or less got rid of crunching in my gtst box) very expensive though, u get it in 3.9L bottles and its $100-120

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
