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?

hey hanyou

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

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
