Hi im new on here but i got a qustion you guys out there might be able to shed some light on. The other day i was at Oran park and first lap i went out i wasn't stressing the car too much but i came onto the straight in 2nd gear, shifted to 3rd and when i went to go to 4th roughly halfway down the straight, i had the clutch completely compressed, shifted to neutral and almost if i was flatshifting, the gearbox grinded violently and would not go into gear. This only would happen if the car was at running temperature and roughly above 5000rpm in 3rd when shifting. This continued to happen whenever i tried to shift throughout the day unless i shifted to neutral, released clutch and then compressed clutch pedal again, then went to 4th gear... Does this sound like synchro's in 4th gear have gone? seems unusual to me...NEED HELP!

THANKS!

Chris.

Looks like gearbox due for rebuild...

Mine likes to pop out of 3rd gear when downshifting and heel-toeing fast during corner approach. Not fun revving up on corner exit only to find the car's actually in neutral...

aww hell no...fu€k...whats the odds its just synchro's or something?

Awesome, ill give that a go. Also Gearbox oil coolers, I think this is a pretty uncommon thing but they do exist for the RB25 gearbox dont they? In my merc the tranny cooler is located under the radiator element, inside. Dont know if this is the same on the R33 but id be interested in whacking a extrnal cooler for it in.

Any info on such a thing?

pretty expensive.

I bought 4L for $100 from CRD in sydney.

not sure who else sells it.

manual box oil cooler is not common.

on auto skylines, the gearbox fluid is pumped through the bottom of the radiator.....

I don't know if a gearbox oil cooler will stop the crunching..

I'd try the good oil first, and if it still does it, might be time to refresh the box.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
