Hi all!

Can anyone recommend a good clutch for a r33 gtst that can handle approx 300rwkw? I've been looking around, but everything seems soo expensive!! The car is used for alot of traffic driving, and for drags and track work. So it has to be pretty resilient! The last clutch I had was an exedy twin plate and it only lasted me 1 year!!! Its not worth spending another 2.5k if thats all the wear i'm going to get from it :P

Also, can people PM me their experiences with Jim Berry in QLD? (good and bad) as i was also considering asking him to build me one...

Any help would be appreciated!!!

I havent used Jim yet, a lot of the guys I race with on weekends at Qld Raceway have had Jim build clutches for them, and they cannot speak highly enough of his service and expertise. I won't hesitate to send my 33 there when a new clutch is needed. Just my $0.02 worth.....

Go Jim Berry. Im getting a clutch built by him at the moment. Ive done my research and i havent heard anything bad about him. I spoke to him for an hour on the phone and he knows his shit! Why dont you ring him and ask if he can rebuild your clutch? 07 3847999.

go to any clutch shop and ask them, the clutch should not be expensive especially since its a push type... dont bother getting a button clutch or even twin plate its not necessary...

a good organic full face clutch would do the job and be easy to use (only bad thing is the pedal will be heavy!)

i had a pretty heavy duty clutch in my old r33, it was from racebrakes and it cost 250 for the clutch kit and 300 for fitting just as a guide.

OK, just got off the phone with race brakes in melbourne:

Entire kit for R33 GTS-t

Full faced organic with heavy duty pressure plate, + release bearing = $580

Then there was some other kit with a ceramic coating??? and sprung centre (it wasn't a button ceramic clutch, but I was told it has plenty of bite, and is much more streetable) = $650 (again, entire kit)

Ok guys... I ended up getting a 4puk, ceramic sports clutch! clutch plus fit was $1250. I went with Western Clutches at St Marys! Big thumbs up to those guys!!! They were very helpful and managed to fit me in on short notice! :D

I did want to go with jim berry, but it was going to take to long and i couldn't afford to have the car off the road :)

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
