Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[Piggaz]

Jim Berry? U can't beat it mate, I know first hand from running the full Monty on my 3ltr and now the 'super Monty' on my current setup

I honestly don't like them. I've driven a few and found them too aggressive. Nismo hands down, only issue is that I need the centre to mate up to the rest.

3 months on, jim still hasn't got back to me if he can do what I want.

However, his clutches won't slip. It'll spin the earth backwards before It slips. Haha

No word of a lie but mine drives like an oem clutch!

No invite .

Seen too many JB clutches try and hug the vehicle occupants lol

What about the os quad plate? Is that more driveable then the os triple plate? I've been considering an os88 and matching clutch for mine as well.

From the incar videos ive seen it seems very civilised as far as dog boxes go

OS88 incar vids not loading...

[reaper]

There aren't many around that don't show the cars going full throttle. Bobby posted one the other day on the highway which made it seem quite smooth and ive seen Harlow-Jap-Autos post a video of them moving an r33 gtr around in their show room.

Both videos are on facebook i'll try to find the links now

Sorry im not sure if it can be imbedded. Looks far more streetable then any dog box ive ever had the pleasure of using!

Brett, that shows it quite well. Doesn't exactly crash and bang like I would have thought. I like where they have put the gear display. Cheeky little touch.

[reaper]

Yeah I love the gear indicator placement unfortunately r34's dont have that spot haha

Ideally first hand experience would always be best however from my experience with dogboxes (ranging from harsh to super harsh) the os88 in that car just looked like a synchro box with a sequential shifter!

I'm yet to drive a jb clutch that drives half decent.

Also depends how the disc is setup, some clutch shops bend the plate ever so slightly as it's engaging (for normal driving) the entire friction material isn't biting on the flywheel.

I had an off the shelf NPC clutch and it drove exactly the same as a JB clutch, either ON or OFF - although the pedal felt like as if it came from a Yaris but the clutch was horrid to drive and you would either bunny hop or chirp tyres taking off a decline no matter how hard to tried not to.

Then I brought the car to Western Clutch to replace my clutch (long story - mixture of cbf and time) and it turned out nothing was wrong with the clutch plate and pressure plate - was a mixture of wrong parts installed from the previous owner and when I replaced the clutch I used the same fork, bearing carrier, etc..

Anyhow, Scott modified the plate and pressure plate.. clamp is now at 1.7 tonnes ( from 1.95 tonnes) and the clutch feels like a corolla clutch. Same pedal effort as stock FWD car, and you can easily ride it too.. no stupid bunny hopping or wheel chirping like a tool.

What he did to the clutch plate was bend it ever so slightly, so on a light clamp - say taking off the entire friction face did not engage with the fly wheel.

Food for thought, could be totally useless for your requirements.

Thing is, it's not like you're trying to find someone with an OS 5 speed. These things ain't cheap. I might flick Bobby a PM.

One question I do have, whats the 'nicest' way of going from say 6th to 2nd. Is it a simple case of clutching in and pushing the lever up or should you try and match the revs with your right foot? You cant exactly clutch in, neutral, rev, clutch out and put in the next cog like you would a dog box.
