Just a bit of an update:

Got the car back now and it's working fine.

Few observations were made by the workshop:

1) The issue was the circlips. Apparently there's a TSB on this. Replaced with Willall replacements amongst other things

2) Tranny oil was absolutely black and filthy. I had scheduled servicing done though. Workshop has never seen oil this bad.

3) Had my transmission oil filter changed to a Dodson part. Apparently Nissan Australia does not have a listing on this part.

3) Had my Cobb AP repaired under warranty. Pretty quick turnaround from them.

4) Also had my service done which included diff oils. Apparently they were pretty filthy as well.

All up, it's a LOT smoother now. The only thing is a very faint oil smell from the rears which I can smell more in reverse. I think it maybe residue but i'll leave it for a few weeks to see if it disappears.

Looks like it turned out ok.

I had that same faint oil smell after fluids were changed...didn't last long

Sounds like you got shafted with your services, you paid but they never changed the gearbox and diff oils.......id go back to where you got you car serviced and blast the f**k out of them, you can do this I know because Ive worked at dealerships before, they sometimes hire horrible mechanics who just change the engine oil and filter, sometimes not even the filter and have seen any dickhead mechanics come and go.

Ironically after posting such a detailed post on how to prevent P2832 in this thread, I just got P2832. Looks like I've broken Shift Fork A.

Very tempted to build a box properly, as I have no doubt at some stage I'm going to want 800+whp.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
