Ok I thought id be more specific in this post, ive read about this problem a million times here tonight but no one seems to have a posted a definitive answer to it, or how they have solved their issue.

ISSUE: My clutch seems fine, the problem I have is selecting 1st gear, and reverse, the other gears are no picnic either but its not as bad. its also starting to crunch when selecting 1st every now and then. and gets worse when hot.

Does anyone have an answer for this?

Synchros?

Change oil?

Change clutch?

Just have a smoke and a beer and say f**k it?

Do some visual checks. Check out the master/slave cylinder for leaks, stick your head under the dash for a broken pedal box, check the condition of the oil.

If those are all fine, pull the box out and check the condition of the clutch, check teh condition of teh clutch fork and pivot point.

If they are fine box may be fingered

I don't know how you can expect us to give you a definitive diagnosis of his problem, over the internet, when there are several possible causes.

As the sloth says, get off your bum and look for yourself. If you can't do that, just take it to a workshop and get it fixed.

    • Big claims here.  Any links up on the website ?   
    • If your HP goal is reasonable and you are not drifting. Buy a new R34 box.  If the above is not true, buy a wrecked R33 box and put a gearset in it.  CD09 are not as strong as you think and the cost of / mess around of the conversion puts you in gearset territory.    Also the deal above is awesome,, get that  
    • Just got back from a little hands-on with a G58 Baron....I was thinking about this... ..best I can figure it, that pinny was tail-ended ...I didn't really think about the wiring, because all that mattered was the tank and pump cradle (I think I mentioned the pump itself I couldn't vouch for)...which didn't matter, as you said you'd be replacing the pump anyway.... ...'for some reason'....and I imagine this is the panel shop's doing... they've replaced the cradle wiring with a metre of 7-core trailer loom, and attached the loom plug (from a different car) to that. The actual cable run from the top of the pump cradle, to fuel pump harness end in boot, is maybe 60cm in length...so I've no idea why they did this... ....the connector in the boot of the pinny, is not going to help you here...because in theory, it should still be present on your car. On top of that, because they've done what they did, we have no idea which colours of the trailer cabling, have been connected to what on the fuel pump cradle (pump +/- , shield, fuel guage/low-level senders)... ...this means, best approach is to remove the pump cradle, and re-work it now ...not later. That is, if you were going to replace the pump, do it, replace the soft lines at the same time...and sort the wiring out (replace that trailer cable with the wiring loom off your old cradle)...
    • Well, maybe not. The main feature of Chinese manufacture seems to be incredibly variable quality, coupled with an apparent willingness to find a way to see even the stuff that fails QC. So the military could still take the cream of the production run and somehow sell the "sellable but not really useable" stuff to the stupid round eyes on the other side of the world.
    • Have you adjusted the clutch pedal rod? You can wind it in to shorten it. Just can be a cnut to get to.
