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.

    • 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  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
