Islide13. I have a JB and haven't got a bad thing to say about it. Yes it's aggressive, yes it occasionally shudders, but by ducking Christ, it just does not slip. That's what I wanted, as I drive my cars like I stole them and I want it to last.

Sure is. JB single, moly flywheel. I think it has somewhere around 7k pound of clamp. It's a bit of a bastardised mix of parts we got. 300 plate and cover meant I could go a slightly larger clutch plate and increase the surface area over the standard setup. I paid extra and so far, it's worth it. Best to call him if your interested as he is the guru. If I wanted a more street friendly setup the wife could drive I'd get a comp mix from nismo in a heart beat.

Mine only shudders on light load in traffic and you can drive around that! It takes a LOT of abuse without a drama.....

Not sure about your clamp load? I have the same design with the heavier pressure plate and its set at 4600lb so i would double check the numbers maybe?

Jim is one of the easiest guys to deal with and is more than happy to help you understand your own needs based on the given application!

yeah i have spoken to jim and he is saying he can give me a single plate that can handle 1200whp!

i am in the middle of a HKS 2.8 build and want to verify his claims and speak to someone who is pushing 650whp+ through all 4 on a JB Single plate.

Only 534whp here.....

I can only think of PJ's S13 and Matouks VL, then you also have Dave (Nytsky) R33..... All RWD but all pushing serious power!

A lot of people in Melbourne with big HP Setup only use Jim's clutches. Wouldn't look elsewhere.

i am trying to track down one of these people with "big power cars using Jim Berrys"

650whp+ with a jim berry clutch, used for circuit work.

to confirm they exist, they appear to be unicorns at the moment

someone knows of someone or has heard of someone using one at the power.

looking for someone to confirm it will be suitable as a single plate that can hold that kind of power seems, dubious

I mentioned some of the names with the same clutch as mine, I run one of these clutches, it cops hell and is holding up fine............ Ring Jim and discuss it further is you are concerned!

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
