every other gear is fine, shifts well and fairly smooth, but come to 4th and if i try to quickly shift up to it, it will grind.

this is not an issue for any other gear, just 4th, the gearbox does have a quickshifter installed.

im thinking syncro's both sides of the 4th cog ? no ? maybe shit quickshift kit ?

Yeah mine occasionally does this too, with quickshifter installed also.

I think its just the syncros are a bit shagged, doesnt bother me too much though, good old R33 gearboxes :)

Synchro's gone. Maybe able to decrease the grind with a new/better oil.

Another thing to try if that doesn't work, and it's a little unorthodox, is;

hold steady revs on flat ground with nothing in front of you @ around 2000rpm. With your foot off the clutch (out) move the gear lever toward fourth gear slot (don't worry, it won't jump in!) and gradually increase the pressure with which you try to pull it into 4th. You'll notice the engine will actually load a little. Do it for up to 20 seconds, in increments of 5 seconds. It has the effect of "re-bedding" the synchro. Trust me, it works, bought me another 20,000k's in my GTR.

If all else fails, fix it, or put up with double clutching on the way up! {'cause we all heel and toe on the way down don't we people? I hope so! :) }

      Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.

      Shifting questions

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      By MBS206 · Posted

      A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?

      From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
