Jim Berry clutches are the best single's you will ever buy and will out last and out perform most twin / triple setups that are over hyped. The key is clamping force and the type of friction material

that was my point earlier in the piece.

ive had multiplates & imo NOTHING comes close to JB's clutches for strength, driveability & gentleness on the drivetrain.

mine has never shuddered BUT those multiplates ive had would shudder on any rpm - i always felt like i was hurting the car.

thats odd, completely the opposite to my clutch history, never had a multi shudder like the singles :blink: just goes to show the differences in peoples experiences ..:wacko:

I was thinking the reason for breakages is the massive clamp load compared to a softer clamp load twin. I think the bigger clamp single would be alot more viscious compared to twin but I may be wrong. If massive clamp Load singles are the bomb then why do people make twin plates? Sure their louder and stuff but your driving a car with alot of power and will most likely be rough to drive compared to a normal road car.

Not that it matters but my 0.02 dollars

Tricstar - I just watched that clip of your gtr in your sig...that is one FAT idle!

What are the specs? To me it sounds like a 2.6 with big cams.

Nice and poppy. My rb2630 had 280 degree cams and didn't sound as lumpy as that.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
