we have 440AWKW and clutch is great...its the best value for money performance part i have EVER purchased for any of my cars. I dont think i could speak more highly of Jim and his work...i would never run a poorly set-up over priced Jap item ever again.

Thanks for that - ill hold on till the current clutch is 100% dead, tow the car home, then get a JB one

Have you done any upgrades to driveshafts?

Or anything else that breaks from this sort of abuse?

My GTR has a hard life in front of it (not as much as yours though) and i want to "prep" it as best i can

dont modify it then... or you'll eat another clutch in no-time

you start a thread, everyone says Jim. B... and you go with what the mechanic reckons.

Lemme guess your mechanic doesnt work on skylines for a living?  :D

hahaha he only works on turbo high performance cars and he is a licensed mechanic and has always worked on my GTR and my GTS-t beofre this car and i have naver had a problem with his work. Sorry, but I think i trust a mechanic over you mate.

My car doesnt have 400 kw or anywhere near that (and it never will), so my need for some super jimmy clutch isnt that high.

Its funny how someone says something and then other people just agree like they know who my mechanic is?!?!? what a joke.

and by the way, i only wanted opinions, i didnt say i will garantee you i am going to buy whatever you say.

Thanks to everyone for their OPINION. I appreciate it.

$700 for a decent GTR Clutch is cheap!! Its a normal maintenance cost on a GTR and not the best car to be cutting corners on.

You must stress when it comes to filling the tank up with fuel ??

I would be going to the guy who builds clutches for cars worldwide !!

Went into see Jim the other Day, He gets my vote.

Jim Berry rebuilt my Nismo Twin Plate Clutch. All I can say about Jim is that he is the man, I asked for the whole cake and I got to eat it when I asked him what I wanted from a clutch as Nismo Clutch's are fantastic and he made it better!

He even rang me after I had my clutch installed to see if I was happy and if there was anything he could do - nobody does that stuff anymore but Jim!!! :)

Once you use one of his clutch's you'll be saying the same thing, just like everyone else thats used his clutch's.

Adam what was the rebuild cost for yours please? I have a Nismo Twin Plate that was previously installed incorrectly and therefore wore out quickly, so the Exedy guy told me. He quoted me a figure to rebuild and was wondering what you paid (or what Jim's ballpark is) please.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
