Hey guys basically i have an R34 gbox in my HR31, and for some reason with my short shifter (did the same with standard shifter aswell) whenever i quick change into mainly third gear aggressively at high RPM the selector pretty much detaches itself from the box kinda and goes reeeally lose, u then jst nudge it around after u obviously back off and it finds it self back in again and goes back to normal..

It was doing the same thing before when i had an r32 selector on the R34 box, i thought then the reason was because i didnt have the right selector, but it is now still doing it with my short shifter.. Im confused! I really want this fixed so that i can give the car a go at calder, still havnt ran it. :)

By the way i just wana clear the the box doesnt pop out of gear or anything like that, it is purely jst the box somehow detaching from the box..

Please help out, let me know what it could be, how to fix it or who to go to!

Thanks heaps!

The circlips clip into the top of the box, and hold the shifter in. They will be part of the original box, and shifter.. you're meant to transfer them across. I don't think new shifters comes with new circlips.

Take a photo of where the shifter goes into the box, and I can probably tell if they are missing or not.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah, to clarify if the car has already been tuned and has been modified and you want to go from a oem cat to a 100 cell or decat or vice versa.Are you saying that the car doesn't need to be tuned after a cat change if it's already been tuned?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      That's the thing, they still add it and it makes fuel cheaper, implying adding 10% of it drops the cost of 91 by what, 5c a liter? I remember when it was barely half the price of 98. Because you know, 85% of what is in the fuel is way cheaper than 91 fuel is by volume.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      Auto electricians that do repairs on automotive AC systems can source service kits. I don't know where they actually source them. I do know that there is one available for the R34 comp that I would need it for. If you have to pay someone to dismantle, clean and do needed repairs and fit kit contents, then you'd probably end up spending a good fraction of the cost of a new one. I would not be paying for that, because I would be doing it myself. My mechanic (bro-in-law) will happily source what is needed. Back in the day (like in the 80s and 90s), rebuilding an AC compressor was the standard approach, same as for starter motors, alternators, etc, because new replacements were v. expensive. After the China manufacturing boom and the rise of the disposable approach to everything, people just started throwing broken/worn stuff away and not rebuilding things.
