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 :)

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
