I have searched and it seems jim berry is the best for track and there isnt much more about clutch options, im asking what people have used that works well on the street because im not going to be putting 300kw thru it for long periods of time ( only now and then ) and im not planning on dumping the clutch at 7000rpm, i just want to know if someone is in the same position as me and what they have used that worked

jims a great guy to deal with, but hes sooo over priced

i got a modded exedy 5 puk from a guy in sydney (Parramatta?) 4000ish pound clamp load with carbonic pads/puks.

Jim quoted around $7-900, the other guy (who i would of sworn was jims long lost brother, really nice) was $360 including shipping to act.

so far good for 285kw and 700ish nm's

if you want ill track down where/who it is.

wow ok, i really dont have 2200 to spend on a clutch right now as im still spending money ironing the bugs out of this engine, ( one day ill put it in a 32 with a 25 head ), i got lucky and picked this car up with a fully forged and balanced bottom end for 3k. i use this car as a daily for now and sounds like the guy from sydney is my best option. when i get abit more serious with it and track it ill go for the better clutch. could you pm me the number so i can call and get one sent to me? cheers :thumbsup:

not the best for a daily, but grips up hard and fast on track, i'm absolutely in love with it. well under a grand.

jim berry's are nice... but my legs are nicer ;)

I've just heard more bad things then good things lately about Jim berry clutches. There's a thread from not long ago where one of his clutches welded itself to the flywheel. Apparently it's not the first time this has happened

Nismo twin plates are great, but if it's out of your price range I highly recoend NPC. After having an NPC I wouldnt recommend anything else. It grips hard and is quite soft for what it is. They are quite reasonably priced to

NPC FTW..they build to your desired specs and ships straight to your door (or the mechanic in my case)

super easy to drive and bites hard every time. when it burns out, you can send it back to them to get rebuilt with new clutch plate etc

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
