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...

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
