Well in 30min im going to the mechanics to get them to check out my second gear synchro that is crunching and going on. It's an "inspection" to see if they will cover it under warranty or not....everyone wish me luck because if they don't I'm going to be less then impressed. :singer:

2fardown,

Good luck, but anything that has "wearable parts" ie clutch etc they usually try and squirm their way out.

Warranty group, bar none are a bunch of fu)king co)k smoking monkey raping lesbian crackhores. You are usually better off gambling you $300-600 at the casino's, then saving you winnings for a lucky day.

Personally I have been shafted every car I've own, with multiple warranties groups. They all try and say you've flogged the car, or you have taken it on a track etc. Thing is, if the cars ****ed up, it usually means that it was done BEFORE you got the car.

Oh well, I'm just bitter, but hopefully they will recognise you and get you box fixed.

Cheers,

Tim

Well after the mechanic and I took the car for a ten minute test drive he could feel something was a bit wrong...so he changed the oil for me then and their with some Shell stuff that has improved it heaps...he said to come back in January and he will inspect it again. If it hasn't improved much he will replace the synchros in 2nd & 3rd and also do the bearings under warranty! So I'm happy it's all going to be covered. :)

Yeah I asked the mechanic about the redline stuff and he said its good if your synchro is totally rooted but he also said that slippery lubes like that don't allow the synchro to bite onto the teeth of the gear properly or someshit. Anyways my troubles over. :)

Depending ont he warranty you have, it *should* be covered. I had a used car warranty on my R32, and the paperwork said "All internally lubricated parts", which includes synchros. No argument.

The synchro relies on friction between the synchro cones to speed up/slow down the gears in the gearbox. If they are worn, or you use too slippery a lube (teflon additives etc) it can effect the amount of "bite" you get in the synchro cones.

An old rallying trick is to cut radial grooves into synchro rings, to allow the oil to dissipate better (bit like tread on your tyres). Sounds rough, but apparently works a treat, and lets you make much faster gear changes (wouldn't recommend you try it on your Skyline tho)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
