Definately sounds like boxes. I had that problem, had to rev it to get it into 1st. Then it got harder.. and harder.. then it got stuck in gear.. i pulled it out.. then it got locked outta gear.. now this :cheers:

mmmgtir - thanks for support, nah I won't sell it, will pm you when it's ready to cruise tho :P

fwd - when your clutch had welded onto the flywheel and got stuck in gear were you still able to move the car (as if the clutch was ok but it was just stuck in gear.) Cos i'm able to start the car and use the clutch to move the car alas in 3rd gear (makes for slow and high rev starts).

well i changed the gearbox oil... seems to be a lot smoother but hasnt fixed the problem..

I noticed when the car was on the hoist there was a small oil leak coming out from under the gearstick... dripping to where the tailshaft connects ???

Now i notice everytime i get in the car it stinks of gearbox oil! Im assuming it's gearbox oil leaking and stinkin out inside of my car.

Anyone think this has anything to do with my problem ? and know how to fix it ?

Thanks

After I changed my gearbox oil I noticed streaks of oil up and down the side of my car.. funny thing was, even when I'd wash it and it didn't get moved with a cover on it, I'd come back and the streaks would be there.

It looked like they were streaked from the bottom of the car to the top (not outward and toward the back of the car as if you'd expect if the car was moving forward).

It stopped after a while and to me it's a plain mystery... perhaps it was leaking onto the driveshaft toward the outside of the car (although it's strange why it would then travel directly UP the side of the vehicle).

Anyways in regards to your thing by "under the gearstick" do you mean like... looking at the car underneath it it leaked near wher ethe gearstick sits on top of the box?

If so try the rubber seal around it, it often dies (I had to replace mine). Also I've heard of people with sils and liners that even after replacing that seal theirs still leak.

Sure you didn't fill it up too much?

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).

      Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
