N8GTOL and Swindler thank you both for your orders:tup:

Hi Brancky3, Well I'm close;) The laser cutters were a day late finishing the raw CNC cut parts for me but I made the 4hr run down there and back this afternoon so we wouldn't loose another day waiting on a shipping courier to deliver them tomorrow. That let me begin fabrication this evening and I'm currently planning an all nighter to get 1 thru 10 done for shipment by tomorrow afternoon. From there 11-20 should be ready for shipment Friday and the remaining few on Monday.

Currently I have just QTY 2 units remaining available from this latest batch. If anyone wants to get in for one before they sell out again better place your orders thru the RJM webstore quick! Otherwise ETA is 2-3 weeks wait for the next run.

Best Regards,
Ryan@RJM

Somebody needs to tell the owner of this fine Z about this clutch pedal upgrade:

A wonderful choice of colour, might I add. ;)

Just got my shipping confirmation today showing that I get mine Friday! Can't wait to install it this weekend. Much appreciated! :driving:

Received mine yesterday, will be installing tomorrow. :tup:

Gah, halfway through installing mine but have to jump on some client calls. So close!

There still seems to be a tiny bit of linkage play in mine after install. Not sure at what point the clutch rod is considered to have start moving? (I.e. am I being to careful when trying to prove the play by locking down the top switch too early?)
Video of play in pedal is here:

You can definitely tighten up the top switch position a little more as that appears to be a fair bit of play at the top. Press the pedal down lightly to take up the slack in the linkage pin, rotate the switch bracket down to touch the rubber bumper and lock the adjustment bolt down to hold it. There should be almost zero take-up before the linkage rod moves.

Next Batch and New Product Coming to RJM
 

Installed mine tonight, HUGE improvement. As many others have said, this is how the car should have been delivered.

The install was way more frustrating than I thought though. The limited space in the cabin left my ribs sore and my right elbow raw from it rubbing on the carpet sliding in and out.

I also noticed you may have missed a step in the directions - there is nothing that says I needed to reuse the 14mm nuts on the electrical switches but they were necessary to keep the switches in place when the RJM pedal was bolted in.

Agreed, HUGE difference in how it drives with this clutch! Thanks for developing this product!

Install wasn't bad, just frustrating at times when it would be helpful to have both hands in there but you can't fit both arms under the dash.

Brancky, I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the new pedal and had a successful install. Unfortunately the tight space working under the dash is one thing I can't do anything about however I've eliminated as much work as possible with the new version as compared with the older units to reduce your time spent under there.
Did you happen to use a thick towel or blanket folded over the door sill to protect your ribs as suggested in the install guide? I know that makes a huge difference for me when installing these units for local customers.

As for missing a step in the guide I think you should reference steps #'s 20,30,31,34 & 35 which clearly instruct you (and with pictures/arrows) to install them onto the switches at the correct positions and use your 14mm wrench to tighten them;)

Yep, I saw step 20 say to use the new nuts, but at step 31 I was thinking 'what smaller nut?' until I realized I was the one I removed in 20. It's no big deal and super obvious once you realize what needs to be done, but I thought I was missing parts for a few seconds.

I did not use a ton of padding on the door sill, just a few MF towels. I'd recommend all future installers to use more :rofl2:

Brancky, thanks for the feedback. I just made a tweak to the guide to say "OEM switch nut" instead of saying the smaller nuts like before to hopefully avoid any confusion in future installs.

Thank you to everyone who's placed new orders last night /today. I'm now down to just 19 units remaining up for grabs out of the next batch of units scheduled to arrive late next week. Keep the orders coming guys:tup::driving::tiphat:

Quick question... I just contacted RJM via the website but thought I'd put this here in case others have input. I can't seem to adjust my clutch rod for lower engagement, there are no threads on the rod like I see in the install guide. Are there any other options to change it?

Hi Brandon,

Sorry for the late reply, was out all day with the wife/kids and just got home. For some reason your master cylinder rod does look rather short of threads, was it replaced at some point? The alternate method you can use to lower the initial bite point is to increase the AFP setting. Loosen the two bolts on the AFP slider with a 3/16 Allan wrench and slide the plate up half a tooth so its between the 75% mark and 100% mark. That'll increase the AFP affect and also make the engagement range drop lower. Retighten both bolts firmly and then you'll need to do a reset of the upper switch gap as increasing the AFP will alter where the pedal arm stops causing the switch gap to tighten.

Also another trick you can do to squeeze a little more from the clutch rod is to loosen the lock nut and turn it all the way back as far as it'll go on the rod. Then use some pliers that can grip the raised pattern on the rod to thread the rod tight into the clevis. Finish by using your 12mm wrench to make sure the lock nut is tight. That'll get every bit you can out of your clutch rod adjustment.

Hopefully that helps and if not I've got another trick up my sleeve but it'll be a little more involved then the options I've given you already.

Best Regards,

So uh, this should be cool with my stock everything right? Stock CSC and clutch? From what I have read it seems like it will, I just don't have money for all that stuff right now and this clutch pedal will hopefully help my stock CSC last till I can afford a better one, while also making it way funner to drive haha. I'm always paranoid about it going out on me after reading how soon they go out on everyone. Anyway gonna have this installed in the morning and I'm so excited I def can't wait to feel the difference

Absolutely no worries running the RJM pedal with all stock clutch system and it will help extend the life of your factory csc. In fact it's becoming a very popular first upgrade as I'm seeing a lot of stock 15' & 16' 370Z owners buying them lately.

Best regards,
Ryan@RJM

Thanks Ryan! I set it just a hair past 75% and seems like it's way better now. I also realized that I over tightened the two side tension nuts way too much last time, the clutch pedal is much lighter now.

That's excellent! I'm happy to hear that did the trick for you and that you corrected the tension on the side nuts. They don't need to be very tight at all to lock up the center section from moving up/down as there is a huge amount of surface area being clamped together much like a multi-plate clutch.

Cool thanks a lot!! Got it installed today and my first experience was backing it out of the shop for a test drive, noticed the difference instantly. Gonna be leaving it set at 75%. It feels really great, put over a 100 miles on it already but still trying to get used to that different feeling of it grabbing so low lol. Was wondering though if my pedal height looks ok, I thought I remember reading that the clutch pedal should be higher or same height as the brake. But it is a bit lower right now I think. Maybe what I read applied to the stock pedal? Just want to make sure I won't have any problems. Here's a pic. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...8f4ec53cba.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...597c3de272.jpg
Kinda hard to tell I guess depending on the angle, it just feels lower.

Swindler, That's excellent! I'm happy to hear you had a good install and are liking the new pedal feel. The pedal pad height stock is about 1/2" higher then the brake and I recommend setting up the pedal to be anywhere from level with the brake up to that same 1/2" as a reference only. The actual point of setup doesn't matter as it can be adjusted anywhere you want via the 3 bolts that attach the upper and lower pedal arm sections without affecting anything else. If you want to bring the height up a bit you can simply loosen the 3 nuts with a 7/16 wrench or ratchet and rotate the pad height up and then tighten them back up.

Hope that helps!
Best Regards,
Ryan@RJM

Ok thanks a lot! I feel better now lol

I just installed my RJM today and had a pretty firm feel to mine, I knew something was off. This post made me realize what it was, and now my clutch is PERFECT! I had also over tightened the two side tension nuts.
STEP 30, PAY ATTENTION TO IT! Thanks Brancky for the post, and RJM for perfecting the Z clutch. Extremely satisfied customer here. :driving:

Does anyone have any video tutorials? I'm ready to install mine this weekend and would like to see some videos. Thanks

I haven't seen any install vids of this, but the walkthrough from RJM was very thorough, and has pictures where needed to provide more information.

Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

Sorry, I've tried a few times to get video of the install but it's just too tight to do the work and manipulate a camera under the dash to show anything useful under there. The fully illustrated install guide with detailed photos/explanations for each step is quite good and is written with a novice DIY installer in mind rather then a minimalist shop manual type document.

My Nismo came in from TX last Friday and I ordered the RJM pedal system today. Should be a great addition!

brewops, Congrats on your new Nismo:tup: Order received and I just sent you a confirmation email with all the important details:tiphat:

Have a great night!

Latest Batch of Rev 3.1 Units Almost Sold Out Again
 

I just finished installing a Rev 3.0 unit for a local forum member this morning. Yet another happy customer :tup:

Ryan, do you have a trade in policy? I need to upgrade my Rev 2.0 :icon17:

P.S. I really love the adjustments on the new revision. Install and adjustment was a cinch. The biggest obstacle is the driver trying to explain how he wants it adjusted lol. After the initial install and his first test drive, I adjusted the AFP to 50% as well as the position of the lower pedal arm. I'm not convinced we got it exactly where he wanted, so I explained all the possible adjustments and told him to drive on it for a week and try to figure out exactly what he wanted to adjust.

JARblue that's awesome to hear. I'm glad the install went well and your friend is enjoying the new pedal assembly. Once he drives it for a while I'm sure he'll likely give it a little tweak here or there to make it perfect to his liking :) I definitely put a lot of thought into the new methods of adjustment with the latest Rev3 trying to keep everything simple as possible while reducing time spent under the dash. Unfortunately I don't have a trade in policy on these as the cost of shipping them back to Canada is about $40 and then I'd have to sell them refurb'd at a big loss. Now what a lot of guys have been doing is picking up a new Rev 3 for themselves and selling+installing their current Rev 2 for a friend or other local owner since their familiar with install from having done it before it's a win/win to get a new unit, the most back on Rev 2 + the extra bucks for installing for them.

I just visited your site to see what the V3 Jar was talking about. I admit, I'm confused of the upgrade on the new unit. I probably have to take a hands on look to see why it's better or changed. Anyhoo, the pedal I bought from you is really good. Any improvemnt is a darn good thing.

I have some questions for you on adjustments.

Message sent Ryan.

LOL that was a joke - I did not seriously think you had any way of making a trade in policy work to your advantage ;)

I shouldn't have any trouble selling my old one on the forum to recoup some funds. Thanks again for a great product :D

It definitely shows :tup: :tiphat:

Jarblue, you're very welcome! LOL I wish it was a joke for the half dozen or so others who've emailed me lately practically demanding to be given an upgrade... one from an original Rev1 no less :rolleyes:

I have no doubt you'd move your Rev2 pretty quick in the used market as they were the gold standard for nearly 4-1/2 years virtually unchanged since they worked so well once installed:tup:
