lot's of people like jim berry clutches. my advice is when upgrading the clutch, upgrade the flywheel too... regardless of the clutch you get. considering most of the brand name japanese single and multi-plate set-ups come with a high quality, lightened flywheel they are worth considering. an exploding flywheel will cost you a lot more than the few bucks you saved.

Im not saving money, i have a sequential quaife gearbox and just want a good clutch to handle lots of abuse ( i mean lots ) >_<

250rwkw is the power output of the vehicle, so the clutch should be rated to atleast 420ps

thanks

ill speak to jim

ive had 2 phone calls with jim so far and in total i reckon ive been on the phone for over 3 hours! so yea the bloke loves to talk. really sounds like he knows his stuff though so ill be getting my clutch and flywheel worked by him in the near future

Yeah, you ring him, make sure you have 30mins set aside at a bare minium. I got away with 25 as it was a weekend and he had stuff to do. But, he wanted to make sure I got the product I wanted/needed and that suited the budget.

He also said he thinks the standard flywheels are fine, just either new or machined up. But that was for my application.

well i can think of 2 people with busted cars in the last few months who may disagree with him on that point. Benms one in particular completely f**ked his car and sent bits of flywheel everywhere.

Are we so sure that this wasn't a pre-existing condition? I feel that any stronger pressure plate would've brought this fault to the fore?

Hence I said for my application.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
