I saw that, but if you want a good clutch Jim will build it and will probably have a recommendation of installer in your neck of the woods, Order it from up here, get it put in down there- too easy.

I have recently embarked on this exact same thing, clutch investigation myself. One name kept coming up again & again.

Even a family friend who builds extreme high powered street bommadore's told me not to waste my time anywhere else when I was quizzing him on installing one for me cause I'm too lazy to do it. The first name he said was Jim Berry.

My middle brother who is building a 700+hp evo3 is going to use Jim.- He found out about Jim years ago when he built an Evo2 & used one then, and when I mentioned a shudder in my 32 when taking off not long ago he said Jims name straight away

So its up to you bud- was just trying to be helpful

Sweet as, hope you get it sorted,

Another option for the gearbox plugs is to put a piece of pipe on the end of the breaker bar to extend the length and give more leverage.

make sure you have stands under the car to stop it falling on you if the jack moves. Be really careful there.

How I did mine was to drive the car up on 4 pavers- 1 under each wheel so the entire car was higher and remained perfectly flat.

Undo the filler first

Then the drain plug & drain box

Apply Locktite or thread tape( I used thread tape) & replace the drain plug, tighten then refill with gearbox fluid.

Hope this helps :(

I would highly recommend looking into clutches that have anti burst covers...

250rwkw there are definitely plenty of off the shelf items like Excedy that will be more than adequate for holding your power level Kudos Motorsports sell the Genuine kits on this site in there trader section and are great to deal with

Also drop Dan from Elite racing a PM (3lit3 32) he has some Tasty NPC Clutch packages that come with with billet flywheels

Good Luck!

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
