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?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
