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!

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
