I have searched and it seems jim berry is the best for track and there isnt much more about clutch options, im asking what people have used that works well on the street because im not going to be putting 300kw thru it for long periods of time ( only now and then ) and im not planning on dumping the clutch at 7000rpm, i just want to know if someone is in the same position as me and what they have used that worked

jims a great guy to deal with, but hes sooo over priced

i got a modded exedy 5 puk from a guy in sydney (Parramatta?) 4000ish pound clamp load with carbonic pads/puks.

Jim quoted around $7-900, the other guy (who i would of sworn was jims long lost brother, really nice) was $360 including shipping to act.

so far good for 285kw and 700ish nm's

if you want ill track down where/who it is.

wow ok, i really dont have 2200 to spend on a clutch right now as im still spending money ironing the bugs out of this engine, ( one day ill put it in a 32 with a 25 head ), i got lucky and picked this car up with a fully forged and balanced bottom end for 3k. i use this car as a daily for now and sounds like the guy from sydney is my best option. when i get abit more serious with it and track it ill go for the better clutch. could you pm me the number so i can call and get one sent to me? cheers :thumbsup:

I've just heard more bad things then good things lately about Jim berry clutches. There's a thread from not long ago where one of his clutches welded itself to the flywheel. Apparently it's not the first time this has happened

Nismo twin plates are great, but if it's out of your price range I highly recoend NPC. After having an NPC I wouldnt recommend anything else. It grips hard and is quite soft for what it is. They are quite reasonably priced to

NPC FTW..they build to your desired specs and ships straight to your door (or the mechanic in my case)

super easy to drive and bites hard every time. when it burns out, you can send it back to them to get rebuilt with new clutch plate etc

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
