I recieved a pm this morning (from a user i will not name) claiming to know one of my mates. He then told me a bullsh1t story about a clutch failure, and the fact Jim Berry has dudded him over it. This story could not be further from the truth...not only does Glen not know this tool, Glen has nothing but praise for Jim and the way he handled the situation, getting his car repaired and building him a custom twin plate to get him back on the road. a transcript of the crap is below...

Hi mate,

RE the jim berry clutc, I know a guy who is in the middel of a law suit with jim berry as one of him top line clutch's let go and sent shrapnel through the floor. The materials were tested and found to be faulty but jim berry refused to pay up.

Anyway I have gone for the O S Gikon (think thats the spelling/pronunciation) unit. The gearbox you have sounds like the go but am wondering why you are selling it if you are still activley racing? Also would like to know if you will go any lower on the price?

What a load of SHIT...do you know this guy do you??? the guy in question happens to be one of my good mates. The pressure plate was faulty from manufacture and nothing to do with Jim Berry. Jim's insurance arranged for the car to be repaired (even when the [insert brand name] pressure plate was found to have been cracked from manufacture) and made the process of the car being repaired a simple and painless task. Jim even custom built him a twin plate which is currently in the car and ran a 10.8 at the track last week.If you know this guy so well who is he??? Whats his name?? I think you should stop listening the rumour mill and repeating this bullsh1t as your own experience.

I hate lying f**ks and put them in the same boat as theives.

was willing to help you but not anymore

f**k off idiot...never pm me again

If i didn't know the sort of person Jim was i probably wouldn't have felt so pissed off.....But Jim berry is one of the nice guys of the industry and doesn't need this c0ck spreading a chinese whisper he's heard along the grapevine (even tried to give the story credibility by saying he new the guy). Im not willing to name him as he may have a chance to admit he's a bullsh1tter and apoligise to Jim.....he's got 48hrs. Glen (GTR27L) would also like to know how he knows this wanker!!

I think i know the person you are talking about.

The story I heard from the horses mouth is that after the massive crater it created in the road it smashed through the floor as well.. Quite a mess.

I heard that the workshop is fixing everything and that there are no problems at all.

Even after all this Glen still recommended i get one of these clutch's because they are one of the best you can buy... (maybe when i can afford it lol)

not sure why this needs to be pubically aired, but it's your choice paul. all i'll remember from this thread was that some poor bastard had a piece of clutch or flywheel pierce his floor which would have to be one of the scariest things that could happen to someone in a car. I hope he is ok.

edit: I should add personally i would think it's better for you and Jim Berry if this thread went away, but it's up to you mate.

Ive got nothin to hide Richard...and either has Jim.....Unfortunately during the manufacturing process the defective pressure plate was not detected by normal quality control. Dont mean to scare people but this brand is a widely used pressure plate thats used in probably 25% of all GTR/GTS-t clutch upgrades.

The reason why its been publicly aired is to quell the bullsh1t and expose the truth...you got a problem with that?

i didn't say i had a problem with it. i was just trying to give you some advice, and i never suggested you or jim had anything to hide. jeezuz is it just me or is everyone out to pick a fight these days?

Not picking a fight....you had your opinion....i had mine. Just explaining the reason for the thread..thats all.

she's cool

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
