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.

    • 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.
