A pic or two of my 33 :-)

I haven't had a chance to check out the boot/s around the shifter yet, but I did start the car up today (as it is not registered yet as I am about to move house, etc) and when I jumped in it I could smell gearbox oil. I assume this is a good indication that the boot/s are fitted incorrectly, or not seated properly, etc. When I investigate more, I will report back here. Thank you for all your help guys. Cheers, Dan

ok blokes, I will remove the boot/s from the shifter surround and take it for a drive and see what happens. Will report back when I do this! Thanks for you help!

ok thanks 89CAL, I will try removing those boots to see if it helps. Wouldn't it jump out of 1st and 3rd as well if the boots were mis-oriented or pulling the gear stick back towards neutral though?

Hi guys, I am new to these forums as I have just purchased an imported R33 GTS-T RB25DET 2door. Car is immaculate and everything is great apart from 5th gear randomly popping out / trying to pop out. Every other gear is perfect though. I have been told that the little nylon shifter bush can cause this? is this true? or am I being told rubbish? I have driven the car for 7 hours (when I drove it back home after purchase) and it drove great apart from the 5th gear issue. I have tried to see if it is a load related thing, acceleration or deceleration..... but nothing seems to be a common thing causing it to randomly pop out / try to pop out / gearstick wobble when in 5th gear. It doesn't happen the whole time I am in 5th gear, only after a few minutes each time. Any ideas? Change out shifter bush maybe? change out oil to redline shockproof? anything else to try before I get a local gearbox shop to strip it down? Thanks, Dan

Hey mate I haven't received your PM yet with all the info we spoke about over the phone today. Let me know whats going on as I am ready to send you the money for the exa box and t25 turbo and dump pipe and book the courier. Cheers, Dan

actually i cant send a pm yet, due to my post count being below 10. Can you possibly give me a call on 0437535645 regarding the exa gearbox. Will also probably take the T25 turbo aswell. Cheers, Dan

PM sent! Interested in exa gearbox.
