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...

aww hell no...fu€k...whats the odds its just synchro's or something?

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.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
