I can't believe it!

Iv had the car for a week and after the first day the HICAS light comes on. That now seems the least of my problems.

After its first long drive i find that it will not engage reverse, so i wait till it cools down and it goes in. ok so maby the oil is low and it over heated i think.... So i plan to change the oil but still drive it only on one more short trip. Now even after its stone cold it will not go into reverse. So today we change the oil even put some of the nulon stuff....

Well it goes better in all 5 foward gears but still no reverse...

Im about to give up on owning a skyline, iv maxed out my resources (money) just to get the car, wich is sad because skylines are my biggest love, do i need a rebuild?

I think maby its a bearing in the reverse shaft...

I live in Quakers Hill, near blacktown. Wheres a good gearbox place near me?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there, that sucks about having problems after just one week. It does sound like your gearbox is some what worn out, have you tried looking around for a second hand box as this would be a lot cheaper than having one rebuilt.

What are some details about your car, k's yearmodel etc?

That's what they always say about GTR's ....

Whether or not you can afford to buy it is irrelevant, it's whether or not you can afford to own it.

Try putting Redline gearbox oil into it ... lots of people have had great success doing so. Otherwise yeah you might need to pull the box out and get it looked at.

$1600.oo later...

There was a spring that stops the gearbox going into reverse wile your moving forward, this also controls the engagement of reverse. This small inexpensive :P spring was the cause of ALL of my dramas.

o well, atleast now its getting a full reco, new bearings ect.. should run really sweet, pluss fifth gear was getting sticky.

I thought it was a bit weird my gearbox failing only 76,000 ks. If thats really only all its done :D

Well 76,000 km in 15 years equals just over 5000 km a year. So take that as you will as regards to genuine millage. I wouldn't trust and imported car from japn in regards to the millage unless i bought the car brand new and saw every mile tick over on it.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
