I'm in the market for a clutch for my 1990 R32 GTR. I belive it has a push type clutch and my car currently runs about 430 RWHP.

I have looked at the Jim Berry clutch "The full Monty" has anyone had any esp with these clutchs?

What do people use out there and why and cost factor? Also anyone DIY or what workshop / cost to put in clutch?

And yes I did use the search function.

If you are in Perth, and you want to stick with a single plate, then I recommend that you see either Ken at Hyperdrive (Malaga) or Ross Autoclutch (Ossie Park).

yup my clutch is almost gone yet its not slipping, Xspeed said the diaphram collapsed or something like that an last night i crunched the gears a couple of times, i was going to get the Xtreme heavy duty single plate clutch from hyperdrive an thats 900$ fitted but then im not running 430hp! oh btw what air filters do you use syslink?

yeh i wouldnt mind that clutch im just a lil strapped for cash atm and im not going for high HP yet only got air filters an exhaust, so i booked it into hyperdrive for the Xtreme heavy duty clutch, i dont plan on dragging it so it should be ok (unless a WRX pulls up at the lights) . apparently the Xtreme clutch is rated at 350hp so that suits me

Dam I could of sold you my os twin plate all it needs is new friction pads :)

I have just had the Xtreme heavy duty put in my car and its a lot easier to drive with then my twin. Its a lot less snappy it drive like a normal clutch but just firmer

if you have minimal mods on your gtr i doubt you will break it :)

ive got the same clutch, but on a 33 gts-t with about 300rwhp.

had it about 18months now and it still launches and drives like the day i bought it. :)

yeh well thats pretty good then. hopefully getting 1st and no more grinding the gears, im begining to think its more than a stock clutch tho because dam its so freakin short an it is snappy. ah its like waiting for christmas . would be nice if it was a os giken twin plate in there and they could rebuild it

I am enjoying my Heavey duty Extreame clutch. Cost me about 1200 bucks but i dont have exactly what it is as i never got invoiced. Its had the 5 little pad's on it and massive springs .

my mechanic had ordered it before i wanted it as i was tossing up between a jim berry item but i have to say its doing really well

Exedy were just Wankers and couldnt be bothered really!

well f#ck interesting lesson i learnt today by my dad ... from $1800 at X speed too $900 at hyperdrive to fit a Xtreme heavy duty clutch too $0 just freakin adjusting the clutch!!!!!! man i feel so dumb an here i was thinking my dad wouldnt know. apparently he read the manual and hes like hey rich come out for a drive, and i couldnt believe it. NO MORE CRUNCHING!!!!! oh so happy that i dont need to spend moneys and it can go to more important things like power FCs an boost controllers

      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.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
