Hey guys,

Ive had a Jim berry full monty clutch installed in June 07

Has been working like a dream until now.

starting to slip, revs run high upto 20 - 30kms and can feel the clutch slipping when applying more acceleration.

Car is a daily driver

Has not seen any track days

Does see some spirited driving.

Few 6k dumps

Mainly normal driving no crazy 140k shifts

I want to know from experience how long these clutches usually last.

Any help would be good guys

Thanks

how many kms have you done since you bought it? clutches are a wear item and won't last for ever sadly. and the driver and his/her driving style has a LOT to do with how long a clutch will last.

would have been about around 60 - 70,000kms

Spoke to jim who advised send it down and he can see how its worn out and what might be causing it, then see if he can add something to correct the issue if its clutch wear.

Has been punished a little so might be just wear n tear.

If jims clutch lasts for 3 or 4 yrs on a car with a higher HP then mine and more kms drivin then i know definitely its got to be something else on the car or my driving habit.

I would say 60,000kms on an aftermarket clutch is pretty good going mate. it should be well worn out by now. daily driving will also be hard wearing on a clutch with lots of slipping the clutch on those first gear take offs etc.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
