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.

    • I don't run the spring but it means you need to set your own belt tension.  I put tensioners on both sides too.
    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
