Well my clutch is on its way! Jim looked after me alot with price which was good of him , soon as its in I will get it tuned to its potential and head to drags hopefully with no explosions lol. Then fingers crossed I get banned for running sub 11 then no need to worry just cruises and hill climbs etc. I'm thinking if switching back to street tyres instead of semis to make an easier weak point in driveline but will keep u all posted

Good stuff :) Let us all know how you go! Make sure you fit it 100% to Jims specs ;)

what happened to you being a JB fan?

I got a Nismo and never looked back really, just so nice to drive.

Even had a Nismo die on me (after 500+ launches, 4WD helli's, 30k kms driving)... All it did was start to flare a little like a normal clutch wearing!

Well after a radiator hose issue it's all running now and to be honest it feels like a stock clutch! Zero noise and it can be slipped with no issues so providing it doesn't explode lol very happy with it so far and I was sick of the twin plate rattle but I was expecting some noise but there is really none, thanks jb

We also went with a JB Clutch.

Was very interesting talking to Jim.

Our specs given to him were 26/30, 600KW at all 4, street driven occasionally, built for drag, 4WD launches and abuse.

He ended up building us a kit that looks exactly like 34geeteetees pictures but with a 5700Lbs clamp cover.

The most interesting part was the discussion about flywheels.

Key point for drag was not going lighter and staying with the standard flywheel weight for good 4WD Launches.

Going from what JB had to say, there are a number of 8-9 second GTR's running the same clutch with stock flywheels.

IMHO if your going to run the stock flywheel (which should not be run on those times and power figures) or any other billet flywheel at those power levels and times you should invest in a ballistic blanket to save yourself regardless should something go wrong.

Mine is a one piece chromoly thing one pound lighter than standard with a JB 4800lb 5 puk sprung centre single plate.

Re-pucked once in 5 years though probably due for another one.

Still holds 800hp with 4 big blokes in it aye Matt? :D

It might have held a bit of abuse :ph34r:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
