So I bought an R33 GTS-T the other day. Really well taken care of, had all the work done to it, 103k's on the clock. Anyway, it's got an aftermarket heavy duty clutch. While I'm cruising around and I try to shift (With my clutch definitely all the way in) I can hear this disgusting grinding sound. Pretty sure it only really happens between my 2nd to 3rd shift.

Yeah, pretty vague information, but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kai

Try gearbox fluid, but also where does the clutch disengage/re-engage? Right at the very top or near the floor?

If it's only between two gears then its going to be most likely a synchro problem - whether that be oil related or material related, but sometimes a bad adjustment of the master cylinder can cause overthrow on the slave which inverts the fingers slightly on the clutch. More common in conversions to Silvias though so probably less likely for you

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
