Really Really.

Sound is gone now it has bedded in.

Best clutch ever.

I have a Jim Berry custom jobbie in my car, very light pedal. Same spec as whats in the Matouks 9 Sec VL.

Had it over a year now and still feels like the day i put it in.

Awesome clutch!!!!

I would also recommend the Jim Berry full monty in organic for that setup.

I had a bit of a hiccup with my Jim Berry clutch but it all got sorted.

I had a carbotic full monty put in. After 4 weeks the clutch was dragging. Meaning the clutch was pressed all the way to floor but it was still engaged slightly. Changing gears was a bitch and i was lucky not to f**k my syncro's. The clutch plate was warped. Whose fault was it? I will never no. The installer had greased the bearings but that still should not have caused the clutch to warp after 4 weeks of normal driving (maybe a bit of thrashing). I had it replaced to a organic one. It is awesome and very street friendly.

You missed my point.

Hi fellas,

My clutch shat itself (It was a Jim Berry Full Monty clutch), so I sent my clutch and flywheel back to Jim, in exchange for a reconditioned used clutch and flywheel, paying him $550.

Ok, what kind of power are you going to be running? There is no point in getting a full carbotic 1000hp clutch when all you are running is 150kw's. My xtreme heavy duty organic holds my 240kw R34 no worries and didn't cost me $4k! What percentage will drift vs daily be? You don't want to be driving a cop if 99% of the time its on the street in stop start traffic....

I've got a 5 puk button clutch, i use it for daily driving and drifting, bites very hard when i kick the clutch! but in traffic its very annoying, u sort of need to ride the clutch when your in heavy traffic.

Go for the Jim Berry clutch they are very good, of not theres other options like the Extreme and Exeedy are very good as well.

      Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      I remembered wrong, but was close though 1Kz setting because those Jaycar SSRs don't go any faster, 1x pump per SSR with flyback diodes & heatsinks. In saying that, the heatsinks are overkill. Just on an alloy plate is more than sufficient. You'll find without a flyback diode, your SSRs will heat up big time and also die prematurely.  I've been running the two same SSRs since the last motor, no issues, car does 2 hour straight drives in summer once in a while and gets punished on the track. Nothing melts, no hot messes, etc.

      rb25 Degreeing cams with hydraulic lifters?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hmm. You're probably best off working out what the lobe centreline or even the LSA is for the stock cams, with VCT OFF. That's bound to be out there somewhere. Then, work on the assumption that the Kelford centreline is probably the same, and wouldn't be more than a couple of degrees away, if it is different at all. I'm very surprised that you needed to adjust the exhaust cam by 5° to get it on spec. That screams there's another problem somewhere. Anything from the belt being 1 tooth off (how many degrees is one tooth worth?) to simple user/measurement error on the degree wheel. I say this because Kelford, like most quality cam manufacturers these days, does a pretty good job of actually making the cams to spec, not relying on patching it up afterwards like we had to do back in the 80s.

      Besides packing it, you can also fill your pump through the oil filter inlet port. After cranking for what felt like an eternity without pressure, i fed a tube in through there and filled it with oil. Cranked for a few seconds after that and had pressure.
