Hello all,

Having a 2000 r34 25GT (Non-turbo) - (also being a first car [P-Plater] i tried to manage to take my time in choosing a well-maintained, clean skyline)

trying to reverse out of work 2 days ago, put it in reverse it wouldnt move - as if the clutch was in fully and gravity was doing it's normal thing (no grinding, rattling or strange noises)

after putting it back into neutral, pumping the clutch and trying again thinking it might not have fully been put in it's almost as if there is a wall stopping the shifter from putting it into reverse, or 5th.:huh:

handed the car over to the mechanic to switch over some new brake pads and front discs, got him to check externally and couldn't see any damage or not debris stopping the shifter from above the centre consle..

basically coming to the point where they've got to drop out the gearbox and have a look internally to find out whats wrong with it.. (quoted to cost me anythign between 1-3grand) which unfortunatley i do not have.. :(

curious to know if anyone else has had similar problems, ive had a little read up on a few peoples issues on other sites (loose linkages/shifters or selector issues) and costs of these issues to fixed.

any help would be greatly Appreciated!!

:thanks:

It will have to come out, i would say a broken/damaged selector fork. If you can pull it out yourself and get it to a gearbox rebuilder you'll save a packet.

If it is a selector, they are pretty cheap and really only requires to take the housing off the gearbox, and very little more. Knock out a few roll pins slide out the selectors, put the new one in etc. If you had a little mechanical confidence you could easily do it yourself. the reverse/5th selector in that box should be 32819-36N10, i would be suprised if nissan wanted more than about $120.

If it is anything more, just buy another box as they are basically the same as R31 S3, RB20DET, RB25DE boxes etc... and everyone knows how cheap they are. just put your switches & speedo drive into one of those boxes and on your way.

Thanks for the info Webber, hopefully within the next few days ill have a chance to look into it and let you know how it went.!

okay i've gotten word from the mech, and unfortunatley for me it's not a good sign.

upon draining the box metal shards/debris was mong the oil, ballbearings need to be redone, one of the cogs (didn't ask which one) is badly damaged needing a replacement aswell (phone was cutting in and out of reception so didn't hear details of it fully) and the selectors definatley need to be replaced.

overall looking at 2.6k - with them dropping and installing the box.:down:

still unsure what cause it (general wear and tear or possibly how the previous owner may have driven it)

thought i'd keep you guys updated incase anyone else were to have similar problems and could have a little info into what they could be looking at to repair it.

to be honest i thought i'd rather fix up this box so i'd have a peace of mind knowing that this one wouldnt (hopefully) break down on me instead of purchasing a second hand one not knowing it's history.

Cheers SAU,

:thanks:

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
