Howdy,

I was just wondering.... if anyone with a heavy duty button, ceramic, twin plate etc on their r33 gtst would let me drive it for like 2 minutes. You can sit in the car with me and/or take my car for a drive also.

I just want to drive around the block so to speak to see what different clutch setups feel like as i'm going to have a to get a new one shortly.

Can be in brisbane or the gold coast - and like i said, i only want to feel the clutch, i don't want to dump the clutch or do a burnout and you can have the keys to my car and follow me if you like.

Anyhoo, try not to flood me with offers :turned: but if anyone wants to help a brother out it would be much appreciated.

cheers

Jim Berry made my clutch for my R33

I pushed 332rwkw @ the drags with 3rd gear 7500rpm burnouts easily and it was marginally heavier than stock...

Then after that it used to get dumped in 1st at around 4500rpm and launched like a little rocket... She stood up to everything with ease!!!

Was worth every cent, worth every cent...!!! :down:

how much was the jim berry clutch for your car col?

Cant remember to the dollar but it was around the $850-900 mark...

That included machining the flywheel also...

All i did was talk to him about my car and what was planned for it and he did everything else from there, could not be happier...

Talked to Jim today. Nice guy with plenty of time to talk to you about what you need the clutch for, etc etc. Great price for the product. Just gotta recover from paying my body corporate fees and then get my ass into gear and get a new clutch. frustrating not being able to properly drive the new 32

...hmm, shoulda put my alerts on. it would have been great to see a whole heap of thread whoring going on. :)

jagule - can you explain what you mean by "custom fingers"??

by the way, i created a thread in "drivetrain" about clutch reviews that no-one has added to...not sure why. everyone wants to say "i've got xxxkw and used xxx clutch and it's great" but doesn't want to provide it in a useful format...

Were telling you, just go and have a chat to Jim Berry...

You will get exactlly what you need at a great price...

No one goes anywhere else cause this is the only place to go...

No point in reviewing a heap of clutchs, as everyones needs and wants are different...

All you need to do is pick up the phone and say

"Hey Jim, heard your the man

I want a solid clutch that wont slip, and it needs to be as light as possible, infact standard feeling would be perfect"

He will then find a solution for you no worries... And as for pricing, he is the cheapest custom clutch builder ive ever known...

Not trying to be blunt, but your wsting your time doing anyhing else...

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
