Really Really.

Sound is gone now it has bedded in.

Best clutch ever.

I have a Jim Berry custom jobbie in my car, very light pedal. Same spec as whats in the Matouks 9 Sec VL.

Had it over a year now and still feels like the day i put it in.

Awesome clutch!!!!

I would also recommend the Jim Berry full monty in organic for that setup.

I had a bit of a hiccup with my Jim Berry clutch but it all got sorted.

I had a carbotic full monty put in. After 4 weeks the clutch was dragging. Meaning the clutch was pressed all the way to floor but it was still engaged slightly. Changing gears was a bitch and i was lucky not to f**k my syncro's. The clutch plate was warped. Whose fault was it? I will never no. The installer had greased the bearings but that still should not have caused the clutch to warp after 4 weeks of normal driving (maybe a bit of thrashing). I had it replaced to a organic one. It is awesome and very street friendly.

Really Really.

You missed my point.

Hi fellas,

My clutch shat itself (It was a Jim Berry Full Monty clutch), so I sent my clutch and flywheel back to Jim, in exchange for a reconditioned used clutch and flywheel, paying him $550.

Ok, what kind of power are you going to be running? There is no point in getting a full carbotic 1000hp clutch when all you are running is 150kw's. My xtreme heavy duty organic holds my 240kw R34 no worries and didn't cost me $4k! What percentage will drift vs daily be? You don't want to be driving a cop if 99% of the time its on the street in stop start traffic....

I've got a 5 puk button clutch, i use it for daily driving and drifting, bites very hard when i kick the clutch! but in traffic its very annoying, u sort of need to ride the clutch when your in heavy traffic.

Go for the Jim Berry clutch they are very good, of not theres other options like the Extreme and Exeedy are very good as well.

    • That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.
    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
    • I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
    • Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.
