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 ;)

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
