R34 GTR Getrag 6 speed gearbox issue

Hi there,

having issues with my R34 GTR gearbox just seeing if anyone has come across this issue before.

Its the standard 6 speed getrag box, with upgraded clutch (Twin plate os giken)

The car has tuned 650hp, but issue was here before that

5th gear synchro was busted and 5th gear would work very randomly but most of the time would not go in.

5th gear synchro has been replaced since and would only work 75% of the time but still does not like to go in

it will go in 100% of the time if you rev up before shift

will go in on idle 

The oil in the gearbox is new Castrol Transmission fluid z, has had the issue prior to it with the same oil

All other gears are fine.

Just seeing if anyone else knows what the issue could be, and if anyone else has had the same issue on their 6 speed box..

Thanks in advance.

    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
    • I should video mine, will prob do it tomorrow    Between 1st and 3rd, you could fit another two gears. That is how loose and wobbly it is   horrible:(
