Fixed my gearbox. as suspected the clips were in the oil.

We did not have to remove any of the gears, we were able to put the clips into the box without removing the hub! box is changing well now.

Also if you keep driving the box like this you will wear out the selector fork that moves the gears, i had to change to the spare one because this one was flogged out so if you have this problem you should fix it ASAP.

very possible. also this crunch sounds different to a propper syncro crunch. a proper syncro crunch is very excessive and harsh where this is more of a notchy mini crunch as the gears are being selected.

hmm, well mine is very extended, not just a quick tap tap of the gears hitting inside the box, its more of a bzzzzzzzzzt on the rare occasion of shifting into 4th, usualy when giving it a bit more gas, i drove to work today with no crunches, and the box felt good, but sometimes theres a quick bzzzzzzzzt when shifting to 4th on the rare occasion.

just wondering if the timeing is still the same with the mark on the front counterahft drive gear (5th) and how or if the countershaft is shimmed up?

i havent looked at a manual or anything on light commertial g/boxes

i have found one of these clips in my oil recently after my gearbox got stuck in 4th. Had to pull box out as it refused to come out of gear. once we got it on the ground out of the car it slipped out of gear and has been fine since we put it back in the car. I never use 4th tho as its a drift car and only see's 2nd and 3rd.

Reason it got stuck in 4th was i was loading it onto trailer and the shifter felt weird and stiff, i just pulled it into gear to see what was going on and it got stuck there.

Should i put this fix on the urgent list?

Can you post some pictures how you did this without changing the hub mate?

And is 36209-70L20 the right part number for these? And should I order 3 from nissan?

Cheers

Hi do you have any tip on how to remove the 5th gear bushing? In the service manual its a pic of som sort of cylinder tool with 3 bolts to use along with a puller. That special bushing tool seems to be very rare

I made a plate up that sits under the centre plate, and a jig that presses on both mainshaft and cluster. I made a tool to pull the bush off but its a shrink fit and is really tight. The press works heaps better

Okej will try make some special jig like that. Or do you even need to remove the bush to be able to change all sync rings? Looking at the pictures on this thread it looks like he just knocked the main shaft out of the center plate without removing the Bush on the sub shaft

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
