Hi im new on here but i got a qustion you guys out there might be able to shed some light on. The other day i was at Oran park and first lap i went out i wasn't stressing the car too much but i came onto the straight in 2nd gear, shifted to 3rd and when i went to go to 4th roughly halfway down the straight, i had the clutch completely compressed, shifted to neutral and almost if i was flatshifting, the gearbox grinded violently and would not go into gear. This only would happen if the car was at running temperature and roughly above 5000rpm in 3rd when shifting. This continued to happen whenever i tried to shift throughout the day unless i shifted to neutral, released clutch and then compressed clutch pedal again, then went to 4th gear... Does this sound like synchro's in 4th gear have gone? seems unusual to me...NEED HELP!

THANKS!

Chris.

Looks like gearbox due for rebuild...

Mine likes to pop out of 3rd gear when downshifting and heel-toeing fast during corner approach. Not fun revving up on corner exit only to find the car's actually in neutral...

Awesome, ill give that a go. Also Gearbox oil coolers, I think this is a pretty uncommon thing but they do exist for the RB25 gearbox dont they? In my merc the tranny cooler is located under the radiator element, inside. Dont know if this is the same on the R33 but id be interested in whacking a extrnal cooler for it in.

Any info on such a thing?

pretty expensive.

I bought 4L for $100 from CRD in sydney.

not sure who else sells it.

manual box oil cooler is not common.

on auto skylines, the gearbox fluid is pumped through the bottom of the radiator.....

I don't know if a gearbox oil cooler will stop the crunching..

I'd try the good oil first, and if it still does it, might be time to refresh the box.

      Problem with a tachometer on a Skyline R33 with an RB25DET Neo engine

      By kike_kike · Posted

      Hello First, I apologize if this is not the correct forum. Let me know and I will move it to the correct one. I'm having a problem with the tachometer on my Skyline R33 with an RB25DET Neo engine. I'll tell you from the beginning. I'll tell you from the beginning. I have the RB25DET Neo engine installed in a Nissan Patrol GU, with a Link G4X control unit specifically for that engine,  and I have fitted a Skyline R33 tachograph to the original GU dashboard, but it doesn't work properly. I have the tachometer connected to the positive and negative terminals of the GU panel's wiring, and the signal cable is connected directly to the ECU output pin, but the rpm fluctuates widely. Can anyone tell me if the output signal from an R33 ECU is the same as the output signal from an R34 ECU, or if the voltage and signal type are different? Regards and thanks.

      I guess it was the thought about "Oh if I were to drive this everyday". Then no, SL500 I wouldn't really consider lmao.

      Yeah actually really fair point. Idk what I was thinking when looking at the SL500. Now that I think about it, I feel like I would have more enjoyment out of a shitbox that I would need to repair than some fancy merc. Although I must admit the SL500 does look quite nice. My bad hahaha.

      100% Also "Not wanting to spend money" is THE WORST IDEA IMAGINABLE when coming to a project car of any kind. They EXIST to BURN MONEY. Sure, gas money is a thing. A stock car with the worst fuel economy ever sold would probably be cheaper than modifying a car with FREE petrol for the life of your ownership of it, lol.

      Amount of time you're being observed by law enforcement is so minute, that you could be a dumb shit 90% of your driving time, and never lose a demerit. You could also be the best driver ever and still get hit with a fine.   When you realise how quickly everything turns from "Wee, we're having fun!" To "oh f**k oh f**k oh f**k", you start to realise the only way to be a good driver, is to not be doing anything dumb or unexpected by normies on the road. You want to go fast, go to the track. Someone there in a 1990s slow POS will also show you how bad of a driver you are as they lap 10 seconds per lap quicker than you can in a car that should be considerably faster.
