yeh but mine's cost 3x as much :(

ok, let the cat out of the bag, but my clutch is jim berry's full monty and its gotta handle a fair bit of abuse

cheers for that, i'll look into it

ts2bd.jpg I got all the bits you see here

and in answer to your question I WANT A TWIN! it was cheap and it is rattly! :(

I will probably buy the overhaul kit while it is out that is $500 but makes it brand new!

it definately is one sexy lookin clutch i'll give u that, bit better than my jet black one lol

i've never driven a twin, i've driven a stocko, and a 5puck brass button (dont get me started on how much of a crunt those clutches are to drive), wanna do a swapsie u can check out mine, i can check out urs?

its very easy to rack it up isnt it...u've got ur suspension and brakes sorted though dont u? and rims

Yes very sorted! ;)

Actually I am probably still around the 13k mark..that is if I count the rebuilt engine that I havnt bought yet!

Yes indeedy! Apparently this one is really easy to drive, with a light pedal and easy take up due to the sprung centre...So yours is a single yeah??

im not gonna state mine, caus i dont wanna cry lol, but i started with a complete stocker (minus pods) and i've got left:

suspension

brakes

rims

turbos (maifolds, wastegates, custom exhaust & piping)

cams

cam gears

valve springs

diff's

gearbox

i did a quick calc the other day, theres another 30k for the above ;)...i'll be chasing some decent sponsorship for most of that work though

hrmm interesting...yeh its a single, with a 3600lb pressure plate, jim said it'll be good for 1000hp

hrmm interesting...yeh its a single, with a 3600lb pressure plate, jim said it'll be good for 1000hp

thats pretty cool! I would love to see how it drives!

Mine is only rated to 500hp

It was in a 320kw at the wheels GTR and was coping fine but, so in my car it will be living the easy life!

hence why jim absolutely hates twin plates, they are so badly designed they cant have a high power rating (i'm talking the off the shelf jap ones), but he said he has modded a few twins and they've worked wonderfully, but it costs $1500 or there abouts to actually mod one to "make it work properly"

Mine will be fine for me but ;) It will handle my power and be nicer to use that a ceramic puck dealy

They cant be all that bad...all the Drag GTRs over in Japan use them!

yeh urs'll be fine no worries

all the drag cars are prolly running quad plates though, imagine what one of those would be like to drive, and how much they'd cost to rebuild ;)...whereas if jims claims are true, they could all be running on one of his singles and they'd be laughing

Yes I guess so!

But out of the fast GTRs in Aus does anyone run them?

Eg Kier wilson

Theo Wollett

John Munro

Mark Jacobsen

I know twoogle has one but it isnt huge huge power

Btw Im not wanting to start a fight I am genuinely interested!

i'm unaware of any aussie gtr's that run one of jims that is faster than paul (twoogle), but paul has said himself that his car with a better driver (pauls words lol) would push a 9, and it runs just over 400awkw's. also he ran the same clutch for 2 full seasons.

however the millenium m'sports supra, the subzero soarer both run jims single plate

another very interesting topic is flywheels...

its cool, i know this is just for interest sakes ;)

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
