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!

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
