Hey Guys

A Jim Berry full monty has come up for sale near me pretty cheap ($600)

apparently only done 10 circuit laps

Im wondering, will the full monty be too much for around 200kw

It will be going into my stagea, i'd like something that i can launch pretty hard with as the stagea isn't the best off the line with the stock clutch

I know they are supposed to be really goo clutches but will it be too full on for a street driven car with not that much power?

Let me know if you think its worth getting or not

Cheers, Tom

Hi Tom, Depends on your driving style and if you are going to enjoy it daily.... My JB clutch is awesome to drive! Its certainly more aggressive being a button but i drive it daily quite happily :)

I've got a standard Jim berry modified clutch in my 33 its as light as the factory clutch but is a little bitey and its holding 336kw great! Never used his full monty clutch but id imagine it'd be VERY aggressive but for the price it will hold 200kw for an eternity lol

the stagea is the pull type same as 33gtr/34gtt and from what ive seen generally cost over $1k

the clamping pressure is also 4400lbs on the JB clutch for sale

pretty sure for most applications the words 'launch' and 'overkill' cant be used in the same sentence, unless you are daily-ing it through mumbai's peak hour, i would go the most expensive/military duty you/your left leg can afford

Thats a lot of clamp, mine is 4600lbs and its not likely to slip anytime soon :P They really are a good clutch and the pedal is surprisingly light!

I think the NPC was $880 or something.... What does the JB come with? Clutch, plate, bearing and flywheel?

Looks like everything bar flywheel

Offer them $500 and get your old flywheel machined :D could send the whole thing to Jim with the flywheel just so he can check its all good.....

better off getting a billet flywheel (if its still you still have the factory cast one). You don't want to introduce cracks and explode during use.

500 plus the money for a fly wheel is still a good buy

how much for a billet flywheel and where from?

or, seeing as its holding fine at my power level, would i be better to put money towards a nistune and tune?

If it aint broke dont fix it! Remember you would be looking to do rear main seal, flywheel and a few other bits...... Plus the labour to do!

BUT if you have a stock clutch they dont last with power long so its catch 22 :/

labour will be me and a mate probably

currently the car makes around 130awkw but will hopefully get a highflow and tune over summer and make whatever is safe on stock injectors and afm

mega catch 22

seeing as its not a ridiculously good deal i might leave it or lowball the guy, i thought $600 was a great price but im glad i asked!

Price is fair but there are other costs that surround it! My 34 clutch slipped at 200kw which was also where my injectors were maxing (Some say 220kw but not mine)

not sure if mine will be the same as 34

i'd say it would be a33 gtr clutch as thats the same box that the stagea's use

Same clutch :thumbsup:

NPC Billet Flywheels = $430 or so. Great product

I will say that the NPC clutch I have is great but the Jim Berry is slightly cheaper.

NPC is new, Jim berry is second hand.

Pro's and Con's as you already know.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
