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:

Poor clutch haha

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
