Ok guys here's the story

Was at the SAU drag day on may6th...R33 GTS-T with full 3"...no other mods.

Had the first run, no problems.

On the second run, as I was approaching the end of the 400m, I was in third, and needed to select 4th before hitting the limiter...So i did.

The stick sort of grinded and didnt come out of third, so i just thought i'd missed it, and backed off. As i was trying to slow down to take the exit, i tried to gear down into 2nd, and the same thing happened....

realising something was wrong and it was stuck in 3rd, I just drove it back to the parking area like that. A few of the SAU guys tried to get it into neutral, but it would not budge.

anyway, towed it home and took it to a certain workshop on the monday. They took the box out and gave it to the "gearbox specialist" they use..."its worse than first thought" was what i got a few days later...apparently selector fork (which I was told by the SAU guys) and the "clutch hub assembly" between 3rd and 4th.

Not knowing anythin about gearboxes, im just quoting what ive been told.

anyway, fast forward 5 weeks, and basically nothing has been done. The reasons ive been given are the NISSAN themselves dont know what part it is, even having seeen the part in person etc.

5 weeks without the car, and no real progress being made, I should've posted this thread a long time ago, but my lack of knowledge on what part im asking about is what stopped me.

I'm calling on anyone thats had this problem before (stuck in 3rd) and also anyone that knows their stuff as far as the R33 boxes go.

I REALLY need the car back ASAP!

Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry about the long post. But it should answer most questions straight up

Cheers

Dezz

Synchro hub assembly is probably the more correct term. It consists of the sliding sleeve, Baulk rings, synchro hub (which is splined to the output shaft), key inserts and insert springs. I'll have a look for p/no's when i get home, if you send me your vin number. For it to lock into 3rd gear id say the baulk ring has collapsed and the sliding sleeve has jammed onto the distorted baulk ring/hub.

someones just pointed out to me that on the fast diagram kjb_r33 provided me, it says

"app date 95-01"

now by 33 is a 1998 series 2...so is there a different diagram for mine in fast?

the workshop is telling me that nissan australia says the part number in fast is incorrect, and doesnt match the part i need...

post-22515-1150682996.jpgpost-22515-1150683019.jpg

in the pic, its the part highlighted in green, under the 4 other green part numbers...its 32608+B

part number - 32609-70L20

im DESPERATE now and REALLY REALLY need this sorted out and fixed ASAP.

if anyone has good contacts in nissan, and can help me out, id be VERY VERY grateful!

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
