Would you like to hear the story about the Jim Berry Clutch that wrote off a car???

Nah it wouldn't interest you anyway you have selective hearing :laugh:

if its benno's white 32 gtr, im pretty sure the flywheel cracked, nothing to do with the clutch itself u assclown, he even said it himself

Jim Berry does good, I was surprised something Australian made could hold my 600rwhp and 10.8 runs, in saying that I personally like my OS clutches better and will continue to only use OS

thats cause his heads so far up jim berry's arse that he cant hear anything else

hey, i have an awesome idea of what a killer engine combo would be!

built RB20 by JHH with power adding sand, 200% fueling by richo @ allstar & super grippy and long lasting twin plate from NPC

I know of 2 Jim Berrys...both fairly catastrophic too

got details? i'm keen to hear

if its benno's white 32 gtr, im pretty sure the flywheel cracked, nothing to do with the clutch itself u assclown, he even said it himself

So the ridiculous clamping pressure had nothing to do with it??? Also I believe the fly wheel was recommended

A decent kit wouldn't have that problem

And then the was the clutch plate that broke in half...but look the other way fast!

Both places have proven performers...it is just fun to watch Shane put on his Jim Berry hat

big clamping pressure and single plate vs multi plates and shithouse drivability, i know which i'd want. even though there are breakages like ben's, it woulda happened with any other clutch with a std flywheel, just the luck of the draw.

comon, the plate woulda snapped after the flywheel broke u douche :laugh:

i know i laugh everytime clutches are mentioned when shane is around

rofl, it's good for a laugh!

I personally found driving multi plates through the city in peak hour for work easier then the single. Go figure?

I am talking about a different car

Dave had a drive of my car and said it was one of the most livable clutches he has ever used....which lead to him ditching his Nismo tripple and getting one of these instead!

In what pray tell?

An s13 with a built rb25 with two, yes two HKS turbos.

Go read #33 zoom for specs. Fastest S13 in Asutralian and NZ and that time. The power to weight said under 10.5, sold it so who knows. Car lives in WA now.

Especially with a light pedal...it might have been livable if it had some pedal feel

i hate light pedals, u cant feel what's going on!

had an excedy 5 puk brass in both the gtst and gtr (zomg when it did run!) and the pedal in the gtst was awesome, drove nice as if u were asleep and not paying attention itd stall, but in the gtr with the vacuum assist, it was light as a feather, and i just couldnt get it to work

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
