Hi all

I own a r32 gts-4 with a gtr gearbox until recently i had no problems shifting gears and i was not hard on the gearbox at all, unfortunately a couple of days ago it decided not to go into reverse for some reason and Ive been scratching my head trying to figure out how to approach the problem i do have a service manual for the r32 gtr which has gearbox removal in it and all the components listed.

If you guys know any diagnostic ways to find out the problem i would greatly appreciate that.

And by the there is no crouching between gears or shift noise it just wont go anymore.

sorry for the off topic question.

But did you notice the diffrence going from the shorter GTS4 gearbox ratio to the taller GTR ratio? Did you loose much acceleration?

Cheers big ears.

I did not do the conversion as the car came from japan with the gtr box already, as for the acceleration Ive only compered it to a gtst r32 and it had far more acceleration then mine but it was lighter so the test was inconclusive.

could be the reverse lock out spring, I lost reverse last year, and it turned out the 2.50 reverse lockout spring had snapped in two,( a few hours labour and it was fixed, if it's this don't let the shop rip you off) it stops you from going into reverse from 5th etc. A search should dig up a few old threads on it.

Its been suggested to me that the lockout spring may be one of the problems.

Thanks for the information mate ill look that up.

had the same problem. $2.50 lockout spscring snapped . do a search, someone posted a diagram from the manual showing the location & part #.

you'll need to undo the crossmember and lower the box to access the cover. located on the passenger side of the shifter from memory.

      I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor

      Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
