Hey guys.

I know its not a skyline but I'm sure there is someone here familiar with them. We've got the C4 box with B&M shifter. It was all working fine until now. When you put it into reverse it doesn't go. The wheels are locked. 1, 2 and drive are fine. Reverse won't reverse and sometimes neutral also acts as a drive gear.

Any idea what could be up with this? Could it be the adjustment on the shifter is out or internal box issue? Does anyone know any reputable service centers for these kind of gearboxes?

Cheers

The box was rebuilt to support the power the car was making.

mate had a similar problem with his VN commodore powered rodeo with a B&M. i put the rear on stands, disconnected the shifter and changed the gears at the box and all was fine. needed to adjust the cables at the shifter, obviously ripping on them all day they are going to stretch out of adjustment.

Nothing had been changed and it was on there since we bought the car. I too suspect the adjustment is off. Ive never dealt with this kind of stuff before and worried if I pull it off, the shifter that is, I might have issues putting it back on.

We diagnosed it by putting the back on stands as you did but we didn't attempt to change gears on the box directly. We shall give that a go and hope its the problem.

You have an internal problem by the sounds of it, on KEAS's website they list Craigs Automatics in sydney http://www.keas.com.au/ i've never dealt with them but my old workshop SWAT does work for KEAS so they (craigs) must be ok

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
