Ive had a Jim berry clutch in my car for ages and he said to remachine the standard flywheel as the weight would be better for the drags. Mine has held just under 400rwkw for months with lots or hard driving on street and at the track with slicks.

What ever he tells you go with that.

He's been doing this for more years than you've been alive. You don't stay in business that long by being a d1ckhead. Have a chat to Jim for 5 mins (good luck, he likes a chat) and you'll see what we all mean.

I have no need to chat to jim about clutches, i have my own place locally called DIRECT CLUTCH

DIRCET CLUTCH > JIM BERRY

thanks anyways :D

and hes been doing clutches for 25 years WOW :thanks:

Richard, if you're still reading, any idea what kind of power levels the cars that you know of that blew a flywheel?

one as low as 230hp exploded going down the main straight at oran park. benm i'm guessing was around 300rwkw exploded on launch at WSID. there was another guy on here with a GTR and a JB clutch and stock flywheel that exploded (Paul will remember I think he worked on the car, or knew the guy at least) I can't remember the nickname of the guy or the exact circumstance. a friend in a silvia had one go with around 200rwkw.

can probably dig out more examples but that should be enough.

    • Depends how low and tyre size. Should fit with natural camber, skinny tyres and rolled guards.
    • Hi guys, planning to get 18x9 +25 in fronts and 18x10 +25 in rears been reading the whole thread and cant really find anything   Anyone know if these will fit a r34 gtt with no scrubbing or guard work needed?
    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
