Hi Guys,

I have been having some issues with my drive train in the r33 gtr. Not entirely sure how to fix the issue, hence the thread creation. I've tried searching what I can but can't seem to find a problem similar to mine.

This issue specifically happens only in reverse. I have no issues selecting gears or changing gears, the gearbox runs perfect except when I am trying to reverse (gear already selected) it feels as if the car has no power and struggles to move backwards.

After reversing I re-engage my clutch to select a gear and I can hear a massive 'clunk' type noise which is quite loud and could be heard from outside the car a few meters. The noise definitely sounds like it is coming from the gearbox and transfer case region but my ears could be lying to me as the noise is quite loud.

I haven't ever heard the noise between gears but it may have happened while in neutral and selecting first. The link between the two would be that the car is stationary.

Could there be an internal problem within the gearbox causing the lack of power delivery? It wouldn't be the selector fork as I would have issues selecting gears.

I have thought of the drive shafts being an issue or the differentials and I plan on checking the joints when I have the car on jack stands in a few days.

Final thought is that the transfer case could be a problem, hoping it is.

Looking to see if anyone has any ideas of what the problem might be or similar issues as I don't want to particularly pull the entire drive train out for fun.

Cheers.

There's not only one selector fork in a gearbox. There's one for every plane in the box. So you can break one and not be able to select, say, 5th and reverse, or 1st and 2nd. And maybe you could break one in such a way that you can select one of the gears in a plane but not the other. So it is possible that you have done something to a selector.

But there are a dozen other things that could be wrong. It's box out time if you ask me. Internet diagnosis is not going to be easy on this one.

      I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.

      200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.

      The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing

      Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
