made_guy Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Howdy, I was just wondering.... if anyone with a heavy duty button, ceramic, twin plate etc on their r33 gtst would let me drive it for like 2 minutes. You can sit in the car with me and/or take my car for a drive also. I just want to drive around the block so to speak to see what different clutch setups feel like as i'm going to have a to get a new one shortly. Can be in brisbane or the gold coast - and like i said, i only want to feel the clutch, i don't want to dump the clutch or do a burnout and you can have the keys to my car and follow me if you like. Anyhoo, try not to flood me with offers but if anyone wants to help a brother out it would be much appreciated. cheers dane Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/208271-you-know-want-to-d-let-me-drive-your-car/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWND Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 standard clutches are the best. retain driveability, and aren't too bad in traffic. prefer my clutch to feel as close to stock as possible what power you making/aiming?

PWND Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 He is out at stones corner. Meant to be fantastic. Drove a 380rwhp silvia with one of his clutches. Felt like stock. Loved it.

Col-GTSX Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Jim Berry made my clutch for my R33 I pushed 332rwkw @ the drags with 3rd gear 7500rpm burnouts easily and it was marginally heavier than stock... Then after that it used to get dumped in 1st at around 4500rpm and launched like a little rocket... She stood up to everything with ease!!! Was worth every cent, worth every cent...!!!

PWND Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Talked to Jim today. Nice guy with plenty of time to talk to you about what you need the clutch for, etc etc. Great price for the product. Just gotta recover from paying my body corporate fees and then get my ass into gear and get a new clutch. frustrating not being able to properly drive the new 32 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/208271-you-know-want-to-d-let-me-drive-your-car/#findComment-3691933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
made_guy Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 ...hmm, shoulda put my alerts on. it would have been great to see a whole heap of thread whoring going on. jagule - can you explain what you mean by "custom fingers"?? by the way, i created a thread in "drivetrain" about clutch reviews that no-one has added to...not sure why. everyone wants to say "i've got xxxkw and used xxx clutch and it's great" but doesn't want to provide it in a useful format...

Col-GTSX Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Were telling you, just go and have a chat to Jim Berry... You will get exactlly what you need at a great price... No one goes anywhere else cause this is the only place to go... No point in reviewing a heap of clutchs, as everyones needs and wants are different... All you need to do is pick up the phone and say "Hey Jim, heard your the man I want a solid clutch that wont slip, and it needs to be as light as possible, infact standard feeling would be perfect" He will then find a solution for you no worries... And as for pricing, he is the cheapest custom clutch builder ive ever known... Not trying to be blunt, but your wsting your time doing anyhing else...
