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 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!

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

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
