my 33 gts-t is the same, if your givin it some stick in 3rd and go for 4th like over 5000 rpm u get some crunchyness - still gets into gear fine just the noise, all other gears are fine

i think a saw some other threads on this that were talking about fast syncro wear and the box being naturally notchy ?

time to change the synchro's in the gearbox.......if you keep going you will also need to replace the gear as well......thats if its not rooted already.....people....put the genuine oil in them and save your selves heart ache.....

I still buy them thru Nissan and 4th synchro is very common on GTRs and GTSs.

Give me the name of your parts guy and a contact number, I'll get my parts guy to talk direct to him. I've been through all this with Nissan (local parts, central parts distribution and all the way back to Japan) and my own investigation using FAST software has confirmed. The original type R32 GTR 4th (and 3rd) gear synchro has been superseded BUT the new part does not fit without replacing a bunch of other associated parts (eg engagement ring, hub, input gear, etc)

Funny but my seem to be THE OTHER WAY AROUND, at high RPM, no problems but like under 4000rpm it crunch very easy :headspin: .

I agree with ylwgtr2, it's probably time for a synchro refresh. But I would try an oil change first, we use Castrol Syntrax 75W-90

Will definately give that a go first, worse come to worses how much would the whole job cost for syncros replacements? How much is a good condition R32GTR box and labour?

Thanks

the way to Fix the infamous earlier gearbox problem is to convert it into a double cone synchro...this requires a bit of machining but fixes the problem for good....i will have a hunt around and see if i can find my pics on machining them

here people.....this fixes it....1st pic is what the untouched gear looks like......2nd pic in the lathe and machine the single cone off......3rd pic mill 4 slots in it for the double cone synchro boss hub to latch onto the gear....

and you get the double synchro hubs and sh1t from this guy 0453510421.....its a japan number so you will need someone that speaks japanese to order the parts.......you could mod it to use a getrag 6 speed double cone assembly....but thats uncharted waters for me....but if i have to do another one....id be sizing it up that way as i now have plenty of getrag V160/161 parts here now

To be clear, those pics aren't of 4th gear, but of the 1st mainshaft gear - I can make out the sub-gear used on the 1st MS gear in one of the photos. The 4th gear synchro is also of the single cone type, but is actually part of the main input gear (ie the shaft that sticks out of the front of the gearbox and is what the clutch plate is attached to).

here people.....this fixes it....1st pic is what the untouched gear looks like......2nd pic in the lathe and machine the single cone off......3rd pic mill 4 slots in it for the double cone synchro boss hub to latch onto the gear....

yes but the same mod is done to 4th aswell.......the part your saying is part of the gear is the dogs that the synchro ring mates the shift drum too....these dogs are prone to shearing off if the synchro ring is eitheir rooted,the incorrect oil is used or continued abuse of the transmission

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
