Meulen I'm glad to see it arrived safely and you're happy with my workman ship:tup:
I personally fabricate, paint, assembly and inspect every unit that goes out to ensure the highest quality possible. They're built in small qty's, laser cut from high grade steel and assembled with hardware made in the USA... I think the care and attention to detail that goes into every unit truely shows in the final product and I wouldn't put my name on anything less. :tiphat:
I'll look forward to hearing how you like it once you get your build buttoned up and the weather co-operates. We got just over 3ft of snow dumped here in the past 4 days so I know the feeling... this is 4x4 power sliding weather:driving:

Hey Ryan … I ordered the RJM clutch pedal assembly and installed it a few months ago. I meant to post some comments about it after some use, but never found the time. The car is now in winter hibernation, and I now have some time. My comments are:

First, the RJM assembly is well made. The overall quality matches or exceeds that of the stock assembly.

Second, the RJM assembly is far superior to the stock in terms of overall clutch "feel". The clutch shudder that I often experienced from a standing start with the stock assembly has virtually disappeared. It makes the driving experience better. (Incidentally, I have been driving vehicles with manual transmissions for 45 years so the "shudder" experienced with the stock assembly was not a newbie issue).

Third, the free play at the top of the pedal takes a bit of time to get used to largely because there is virtually no free play in the stock pedal, so the sensation is different. I completed the minor adjustment outlined in the instructions which reduced the free play a bit, but caused the lower switch to start heading out of alignment. Anyway, not a problem … just letting others know that the free play may seem a little odd at first.

Fourth, the RJM assembly is a bit of a bear to install, due largely to the very cramped quarters. Certainly, you don't have to be a master mechanic to install it, but youth and a good back would help! It took me about 6 hours to install, but I was very fussy about following the instructions, and making sure that fitment was proper. It also requires good lighting … preferably with something other than a trouble light that I used, and regretted every time my hands or arms got close to it.

Finally, I'd offer an "alert" for Step 37 … when you install the smaller clevis pin into the supplied clevis fork through the AFP slider mechanism. At this stage, the installation is almost complete. I had to "fuss" with the pin while attempting to push it through … and suddenly it went through, at which time I heard a faint dreaded clink, which turned out to be the rear bronze bearing in the new fork that had popped out and struck some part in the footwell as it went flying. There was some momentary fear as I thought "where the f did the bearing end up". Fortunately, a quick search revealed it deep in a crevice in the footwell. It was easy to re-install, but I could have done without the panic just as the installation was nearing completion. You may want to alert folks of this issue. Simply placing a finger on the backside of the fork to ensure that the bearing stays in place would solve the problem.

Bottom line: The RJM assembly is great. I never went the way of removing or changing the clutch helper spring so I can't comment on whether the assembly helps more or less than switching the spring. But I can say that the assembly works well and makes driving a stick a much better experience than the stock assembly.

I didnt realize that my issue was posted here about the water leak. Just for the record my water leak was leaking through the wiring harness boot that is just to the left of the clutch pedal assembly. My water leak started coincidentally shortly after I installed the RJM pedal causing me to think that it may have been related. I can safely say that the issue wasnt caused or related to this assembly. It was just one of those weird things that happen. A little silicon around the harness boot fixed me up!

This pedal assembly is awesome! No complaints here. Definitely worth the money. One of my biggest complaints when switching from the 350z to the 370z was the clutch feel joined with the lagging of the throttle. This fixed any concerns I had with the clutch being hard to feel/judge. Before it seemed that I could never get it right. I was too high or too low causing the ride to feel like a 14 year old was driving a stick for the first time lol.

Dragonbreath, thanks for following up and I'm glad to hear your enjoying the new pedal. As well it's good you got that water leak fixed around your upper wiring harness. Looking at the pics in your other thread it certainly was a pretty extreme amount of water that found its way into your car :eek:

Hello Ryan,

for this Redline/Synchromesh fluid cocktail you mention, are you just mixing 50/50 or some other ratio?

Thanks.

Shotta, the mix I found works best for my G37S in summer is:

(1) Bottle RL MTL (75W90)
(1) Bottle RL MT90
(1) Bottle Amsoil Synthetic Synchromesh

Winter mix (before I got a truck lol) was:
(2) Bottles RL MTL (75W90)
(1) Bottle Amsoil Syntetic Synchromesh

The Amsoil can be subbed for the cheaper Penzoil synchromesh fluid with no dicernable difference in hot/cold shift feel but I prefer to keep it all synthetic.
