I doubt anyone here would argue with this, handy info too IMO as ive seen it asked a lot.

So many happy customers from all reports across this forum.

This is NOT an intended business plug in anyway.

Whenever someone asks for a clutch, this man comes up, then someone asks for his details.

So just getting in first :)

lol i hear you need to budget at least one hour out of your day...  but his clutches are worth it.  :lol:

Damn right they are worth it.

And he does go on a bit, but as he said to me. Its a lot of money for some people to spend, he just wants to explain everything to them so they have all the information to make the right decision. If you dont understand something he tells you. Say I said, why do I need to do 'x' he explained why, and the best ways of doing it etc. He actually rang me at 10am on a Saturday morning as that was most convenient for me.

Oh and if someone answers the phone 'italia spares' its the same shop, just ask for Jim.

I got the FULL MONTY which is there top of the line single i also did not do exchange so he had to source all parts for me $1100-1200 including postage to sydney i think it cost. Dam good price most liky about $800-900 if you have the clutch plate and the rest.

I've had a Jim Berry "FULL MONTY" as he calls it, set up in my R33 for 6 months now.

couldnt be happier.

It's not overly heavy even though it has a 3400kg clamping pressure. (my friends exceedy brass button clutch's pedal is hevier)

So far its worked brilliantly!! Would highly recomend this set-up to anyone wanting a new clutch that can cope with nearly anything you throw at it.

the other good point is that once it does eventually wear out, send it back to Jim an he'll remake the clutch again at a much lower price than the original purchase.

mine costed me $1100 from memory. well worth it! And yeah, set aside some time when you call Jim, he does explain every detail of the pro's and con's of various clutches an common faults etc etc etc

cheers

I've just had a new Jim Berry "Full Monty" clutch installed in my R33 and I must say that it practically feels like a stock clutch to drive...it's bliss compared to my twin plate.

I plan on taking my car to WSID tonight (weather permitting) and if this clutch holds up and doesn't slip as Jim assured me it wouldn't, then i'll be mighty impressed.

    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
    • You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.
    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny
