i got a manual ( converted from auto ) gts4 R32 and i have some gear changing problems. when in neutral the car makes some scratchy noise like the input shaft bearing, when the clutch is to the floor the sound used to go away ( as to say the shaft has slowed down to change gear) but now it doesn't and its really hard to get it into any gear.. you can get it in gear it just takes a bit of playing and forceing. but when you force it, it won't crunch or anything like that. i tryed bleeding the clutch again it helped alitle bit.. could it be the slave cylinder that pushing the throwout bearing in, not actually pushing it far enough?

any help would be great

not sure on yours, but

Mine does the same thing, if I hold the clutch in it is quiet, but when out it just makes a loud noise like you said. it has been getting louder at idol since I bought it a year ago. I have heard many different things, but just jap said it was the gear box, and that even if they rebuild it, it will probably still make the noise, its just a problem with the boxes, they are noisy

I have the have the clutch pedal box replaced tommorow as it snapped this morning on the way to work(doh! :slap: ) and am going to ask the clutch place about it.

Yeah noticed that mine makes the same noise (93 R33) like a fast rattling sound when clutch is totally out, but once clutch is in it dissapears, have not been bothered to research it any more because it has been sitting on three wheels for about 2 weeks and now it is at the workshop getting fixed.

Well we'll soon see as mine is a R33 makes this noise, if it ever breaks we know it aint indestructable :) But I wont expecting them to be, but then again, I dont do "hard" launches or drive around like I'm on a racetrack, yet :D

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
