Hey Guys

A Jim Berry full monty has come up for sale near me pretty cheap ($600)

apparently only done 10 circuit laps

Im wondering, will the full monty be too much for around 200kw

It will be going into my stagea, i'd like something that i can launch pretty hard with as the stagea isn't the best off the line with the stock clutch

I know they are supposed to be really goo clutches but will it be too full on for a street driven car with not that much power?

Let me know if you think its worth getting or not

Cheers, Tom

Hi Tom, Depends on your driving style and if you are going to enjoy it daily.... My JB clutch is awesome to drive! Its certainly more aggressive being a button but i drive it daily quite happily :)

I've got a standard Jim berry modified clutch in my 33 its as light as the factory clutch but is a little bitey and its holding 336kw great! Never used his full monty clutch but id imagine it'd be VERY aggressive but for the price it will hold 200kw for an eternity lol

the stagea is the pull type same as 33gtr/34gtt and from what ive seen generally cost over $1k

the clamping pressure is also 4400lbs on the JB clutch for sale

pretty sure for most applications the words 'launch' and 'overkill' cant be used in the same sentence, unless you are daily-ing it through mumbai's peak hour, i would go the most expensive/military duty you/your left leg can afford

Thats a lot of clamp, mine is 4600lbs and its not likely to slip anytime soon :P They really are a good clutch and the pedal is surprisingly light!

I think the NPC was $880 or something.... What does the JB come with? Clutch, plate, bearing and flywheel?

Looks like everything bar flywheel

Offer them $500 and get your old flywheel machined :D could send the whole thing to Jim with the flywheel just so he can check its all good.....

better off getting a billet flywheel (if its still you still have the factory cast one). You don't want to introduce cracks and explode during use.

500 plus the money for a fly wheel is still a good buy

how much for a billet flywheel and where from?

or, seeing as its holding fine at my power level, would i be better to put money towards a nistune and tune?

If it aint broke dont fix it! Remember you would be looking to do rear main seal, flywheel and a few other bits...... Plus the labour to do!

BUT if you have a stock clutch they dont last with power long so its catch 22 :/

labour will be me and a mate probably

currently the car makes around 130awkw but will hopefully get a highflow and tune over summer and make whatever is safe on stock injectors and afm

mega catch 22

seeing as its not a ridiculously good deal i might leave it or lowball the guy, i thought $600 was a great price but im glad i asked!

Price is fair but there are other costs that surround it! My 34 clutch slipped at 200kw which was also where my injectors were maxing (Some say 220kw but not mine)

not sure if mine will be the same as 34

i'd say it would be a33 gtr clutch as thats the same box that the stagea's use

Same clutch :thumbsup:

NPC Billet Flywheels = $430 or so. Great product

I will say that the NPC clutch I have is great but the Jim Berry is slightly cheaper.

NPC is new, Jim berry is second hand.

Pro's and Con's as you already know.

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
