my 33 gts-t is the same, if your givin it some stick in 3rd and go for 4th like over 5000 rpm u get some crunchyness - still gets into gear fine just the noise, all other gears are fine

i think a saw some other threads on this that were talking about fast syncro wear and the box being naturally notchy ?

time to change the synchro's in the gearbox.......if you keep going you will also need to replace the gear as well......thats if its not rooted already.....people....put the genuine oil in them and save your selves heart ache.....

I still buy them thru Nissan and 4th synchro is very common on GTRs and GTSs.

Give me the name of your parts guy and a contact number, I'll get my parts guy to talk direct to him. I've been through all this with Nissan (local parts, central parts distribution and all the way back to Japan) and my own investigation using FAST software has confirmed. The original type R32 GTR 4th (and 3rd) gear synchro has been superseded BUT the new part does not fit without replacing a bunch of other associated parts (eg engagement ring, hub, input gear, etc)

Funny but my seem to be THE OTHER WAY AROUND, at high RPM, no problems but like under 4000rpm it crunch very easy :headspin: .

I agree with ylwgtr2, it's probably time for a synchro refresh. But I would try an oil change first, we use Castrol Syntrax 75W-90

Will definately give that a go first, worse come to worses how much would the whole job cost for syncros replacements? How much is a good condition R32GTR box and labour?

Thanks

the way to Fix the infamous earlier gearbox problem is to convert it into a double cone synchro...this requires a bit of machining but fixes the problem for good....i will have a hunt around and see if i can find my pics on machining them

here people.....this fixes it....1st pic is what the untouched gear looks like......2nd pic in the lathe and machine the single cone off......3rd pic mill 4 slots in it for the double cone synchro boss hub to latch onto the gear....

and you get the double synchro hubs and sh1t from this guy 0453510421.....its a japan number so you will need someone that speaks japanese to order the parts.......you could mod it to use a getrag 6 speed double cone assembly....but thats uncharted waters for me....but if i have to do another one....id be sizing it up that way as i now have plenty of getrag V160/161 parts here now

To be clear, those pics aren't of 4th gear, but of the 1st mainshaft gear - I can make out the sub-gear used on the 1st MS gear in one of the photos. The 4th gear synchro is also of the single cone type, but is actually part of the main input gear (ie the shaft that sticks out of the front of the gearbox and is what the clutch plate is attached to).

here people.....this fixes it....1st pic is what the untouched gear looks like......2nd pic in the lathe and machine the single cone off......3rd pic mill 4 slots in it for the double cone synchro boss hub to latch onto the gear....

yes but the same mod is done to 4th aswell.......the part your saying is part of the gear is the dogs that the synchro ring mates the shift drum too....these dogs are prone to shearing off if the synchro ring is eitheir rooted,the incorrect oil is used or continued abuse of the transmission

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
