Gearbox Problem

Car: 2000 R34 25GT N/A

Trans: 5 speed manual

Problem: Extremely hard to get into gear when cold and very notchy till she is fully warmed up.

Car was brought into Aus in March 2013 and complianced and registered in May 2013. Presumed mileage on the paperwork I have was 70,331km. I am second owner in Aus. According to the paperwork I have all fluids were changed. I have checked the level in the gearbox and it it fine. However the oil put in smells like normal 80w 90 MINERAL oil which I know is not correct. I want to change oil but my question is what if any damage may have been done to the gearbox since I have had the car. Problem as I said is only when cold and motor running. Clutch feels good and seems to be releasing properly. Any thoughts appreciated.

You have wrong or crap oil in gearbox.

Drop oil with either

VMX 80 and nulon gearbox treatment

or

Smurfs blood

IT will only cost you 30 odd for the castrol oil and you will be able to tell if it is better. IF not then you have to do more fault finding. Taking gearbox out n shit

Thanks fellas. Will check the clutch freeplay as well but it seems to be fine. Pretty sure its the wrong oil. Smells the same as the 80m90 shit you put in the old ford and holden gearboxes and diffs. Stupid flaming Indians.

Normaly its a sign that the oil used is too thick.

Years ago some Toyota boxes were like this from factory, very hard to shift and notchy when cold, the repair bulitin was to run a thinner oil in them.

      I've done a few BMS systems. Code in Canada use to force us to have any safety components outside of the PLC but with a code change back in 2018 I believe it was, we can now use safety PLC's to control everything. Sadly to your point, AB Guardlogix safety instructions for example are only available in ladder.  Machine safety is a very big thing here though, you're constantly forced to migrate to the next best thing by OSHA. I honestly prefer safety plc's, including anything from AB more then I do working with old school safety monitoring relays. PLC is only one portion of it, the rest of the electrical still has to follow to meet SIL (Mechanically linked dual contacts, bla bla)  Now tell me how to feel about safety over comm's (e.g Ethernet/IP CIP) on a unmaintained network haha

      To your point, boolean logic. We're not only working with bools in ecu's, so it's very limiting. I wanted to setup a low WMI pressure alarm. After 1 second I want WMI line to hit 100PSI, 2 seconds 175PSI, etc. and trigger an alarm if it doesn't meet those thresholds. This would of taken me one very short line of text, but instead I had to bugger around with generic timers, conditions, etc. and so forth.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
