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.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
