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

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
