03 wont shift to 2nd at high rpm's
So i have an 03 touring, just got it with 160,k miles runs great! Im into drifting and the other day i was taking a left turn i did a burn out into a drift from a stand still and when i shifted to second it didn't go into gear it revved up (because i had my foot on the gas) like it was in neutral but the shift **** was in the place of second then i shifted to third with no problem but Later that day when i got off work i tried to do another drift to see if the it had another problem and from a stand still in 1st i started peeling tires and turning i wasn't paying attention to my rpm's but i was at rev limiter just the right time to shift second and i got my shift **** in the place of 2nd but it revved up again like it was in neutral. It only does this when im high in the rpm's and trying to spin the tires and drift i haven't tried drifting the past couple days because i don't wanna cause any more damage it drives fine, shifts fine when low-mid rpm's i just haven't tried getting on it because I'm scared of causing more damage help would greatly be appreciated, thank you!

Seems like you are experiencing the same problem. Mine did it a few times then hasn't done it since. I also don't really drive like that anymore so that is probably why.

A slipping clutch can smell pretty bad.
If the clutch was hot from slipping, the disc may start dragging on the flywheel and/or pressure plate. That would make it difficult to shift since the synchronizers wouldn't be able to get the speed of the transmission parts matched up. And there's always the chance that the synchronizers are wearing out, too.

You should let off when you shift

I was thinking that my clutch is bad since i was smelling that smell but every thread I've read none describe any of my problems. Does anyone know what all could be damaged? I'm just going to go through the trans flush everything and get new clutch, fly wheel, stainless steel lines and i need a new throw out bearing anyways so might as well get one of those while I'm down there.. If this fixes it ill definitely reply

If my synchro's are bad? Worn out? Would they make any noise?
My car has no noise besides the throw out bearing even when i push the clutch, change gears, its over all quiet. And i want to get a clutch that could take daily driving/drifting with no problem so it should really fix this

Lmao
If a 17 year old can buy his 1st car with his own hard worked money then i can do wtf i want. i was being complete safe about it, with no one around. Ive been getting really good, practicing at empty parking lots for no cop or anyone to be found. Im no dumbass, i appreciate the stuff i buy because i had to work my *** off for it. I like the car game i just dont know **** about cars. Im good at working on stuff because i grew up working on dirtbikes just not cars so i force my self to study on my own because i wanna learn about them. Ive read many threads but cant seem to find one with my problems so i created one. Now go troll on facebooks 350z page

No, you can't just do "wtf" you want. The reason is that when you get hurt, and/or injure others, someone like me will have to take care of you. I also pay higher insurance rates because of jerkoffs like you, just to name two reasons why you cant do "wtf" you want. Funny how I knew your age - think it was just a guess?

People like you anger me. Some people want to build their car to show, some want to drift, some want to race and some want to rice. What someone does with their vehicle isn't your business.
Respect, similar situation myself. Good luck with fixing your issue, but all I can say is you shouldn't be shifting during a drift...at all.
