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

dane

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...

      What’s wrong with 2.6 first gear? I’ve done lots of 2nd gear starts from almost a dead stop and it just requires more clutch slip. A 2.6 first gear would be easier than that. I feel like the stock first gear is only good for severe traffic congestion where you need to be able to do 5 kph idling in first gear. Out in the US 120 kph is a very normal speed to be doing on the highways. If anything it’s slow, I regularly get passed by CA highway patrol doing that kind of speed. Out in the desert and plains even 18 wheelers are doing 130-140 kph. I would be less down on the Getrag if not for the fact that they cost north of 10k USD used and you’ll spend probably another 5k on a rebuild at least. I got my FS5R30A from Nissan for 1.5k USD. The cost of building one is maybe an extra 3-4k if you keep it reasonable. The final drive change to account for the 0.793 6th gear is also a pain to deal with.

      Usually the lower mount has a thicker/wider side, see image of the right side of the lower shock mount. Don't see why a couple of washers wouldn't do the same job.

      Counter opinon. Having both an OS gearset car and the getrag 6 speed, will take the 6 speed for the street all day long thanks. First gear on most gear sets are ASS, the bloody gear you spend heaps of time in on the street too.   I run the 4.11 and it is fine at 110, (not sure who gets to do 120)  I do find the gears a little short and doing a 3.89 setup.    Anyway back to your question, running stock LSD rear, love it. Tried an S15 helical rear, it was aweful. In the process of doing a quaife front on advice as part of the 3.89. Seems like a good option. Let you know     Car is 800awhp and mostly street.
