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.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
