Ive had a Jim berry clutch in my car for ages and he said to remachine the standard flywheel as the weight would be better for the drags. Mine has held just under 400rwkw for months with lots or hard driving on street and at the track with slicks.

What ever he tells you go with that.

He's been doing this for more years than you've been alive. You don't stay in business that long by being a d1ckhead. Have a chat to Jim for 5 mins (good luck, he likes a chat) and you'll see what we all mean.

I have no need to chat to jim about clutches, i have my own place locally called DIRECT CLUTCH

DIRCET CLUTCH > JIM BERRY

thanks anyways :D

and hes been doing clutches for 25 years WOW :thanks:

Richard, if you're still reading, any idea what kind of power levels the cars that you know of that blew a flywheel?

one as low as 230hp exploded going down the main straight at oran park. benm i'm guessing was around 300rwkw exploded on launch at WSID. there was another guy on here with a GTR and a JB clutch and stock flywheel that exploded (Paul will remember I think he worked on the car, or knew the guy at least) I can't remember the nickname of the guy or the exact circumstance. a friend in a silvia had one go with around 200rwkw.

can probably dig out more examples but that should be enough.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
