R32 GTR synchro needs replacing

so in my r32 gtr when changing from 3rd to 4th over 60 km it crunches so im guessing the synchro is gone i am planning on pulling the gearbox and replacing the synchro, i have a friend who can do it for me but he has never done a 32 sychro replacement, 

anything to look out for or tips 

also where would you recommend buying the synchros from? do they have a part name?

 

thanks,

You can get parts and exploded diagrams using the Nissan Fast software. If you are going to strip apart the gearbox to replace the 3rd-4th sychro you may as well refresh the whole box and do all the bearings, synchros, etc while you are there. Did it on a r33 gtr gearbox and synchros, bearings, etc were like $600 from Japan a few years ago.

Just have all the correct parts and a diagram of how it all goes back together. Take photos if in doubt, lots of small parts which need to go in the correct order for it to all work properly again.

      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
