Spring Production
 

Ooh! I forgot that you had a CMC.
Might be an order in my near future, depending on other diagnoses.

For driveability, this is by far the best mod I've gotten since my tune. I highly recommend this pedal. Gone is the extremely numb feel of the original! My shifting is markedly smoother, and driving out of Philly in traffic each day is much less onerous.

Thanks for the follow up.
 

JLarson, thank you for posting your experience with the Rev3 370Z AFP pedal. I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the new pedal setup:tup::driving::happydance:

looking at getting one of these, any coupon codes coming up?

OptionZero, not planning anything in the near future right now. I'm currently running a limited production Pre-Order of just (25) units this month of the new Rev3.2T. Previously the 3.2T units were reserved specifically for use with the new Tilton HD Master Cylinder setup but I've begun shipping them with a modified hardware kit to make them cross compatible with OE master cylinders now and be Tilton ready for anyone who wishes to upgrade the CMC at a later date. If ordered today a Rev3.2T Pre-Order will be ready for shipment on October 29th. As more people continue to pre-order the earliest shipping date will be moved out further and into November.

Best Regards,
Ryan@RJM

thanks

in the next week or so i'll be ordering one, i have an OE master cyl. Zspeed HD slave, South Bend clutch/flywheel

Pedal is daily-able, but i'd to soften it up a bit

Order placed, #1131!

You guys need to design a short throw shifter, everything on the market so far is crap.

Not true but more is better!

Order Received, Thank you. Soon as it's ready for shipment early next week you'll receive a shipping confirmation email.:tup:

Is the shifter really an issue for folks? I find that the shifting is already pretty short and solid feeling, never found a problem with it


Caveat = Prior cars:
S14 w/ C's short shifter (that was fun!)
IS300 which is a piece of crap

While Scope22 is far from the first to suggest coming up with an RJM STS I've driven many, many customers cars over the years both 350Z/370Z and thought the factory shifters felt pretty good compared to other manual vehicles I've driven. So I've never really given them much thought. On the flip side I've heard of many customers who've installed one brand or the other of short throw shifter who ended up removing them again as a very short stiff shifter gets old quick for 95% of normal driving, especially for those who daily them. So I can see both points of view on the subject and at the end of the day to each their own. Honestly the best system out there in my opinion is made for the Ford/GM crowd that gives an adjustable throw ratio much like my AFP system where by threading the components at the base one way or the other you can taylor thd feel as you wish but I'm sure its patents prevent the idea from being used in other applications if someone doesn't already make a shifter setup like that for these cars.

I found the stock shifter to be okay not difficult at all for daily use especially with a heavy shift knod. I ran a TWM short shifter with a 7" knob and it was a lot better imho. I just purchased a Coolerworx sts and my initial impression...amazing, real short and tight tight trows.

About a year ago another forum member, who shall remain nameless, posted an RJM clutch pedal for sale. In the ad he stated it was a version 3, was new and was never installed. The price was great, so I bought it. When I got it I was seriously pissed off. Clearly it was heavily used and wasn't the one pictured in the ad. I tried to contact him, but he never responded. I filed a PayPal complaint and got my money back, but couldn't return it because the moron didn't include his return address and never responded to my messages. So, free used clutch pedal for me!

Now the questions are, what version is it and do I have everything necessary for the install?

I've attached a number of pics. Any and all help answering these two questions will be most appreciated. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9cc60ea5db.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...17f6564e69.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7b0230cd10.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...baab6906db.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9fdaaad951.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...88fa57af23.jpg

Good evening Rob,
That unit is a Rev2.2 model and does appear to be a complete kit with everything needed for install. The Rev2 install guide is available at the RJM webstore under the Customer Care/Downloads area. So while not the latest or easiest to install you didn't do too bad for a free unit. Shame the seller wasn't honest about that as I've been contacted by many guys over the years who bought units that were misrepresented in one regard or another. Always disappointing to see within the community.

Best Regards,
Ryan@RJM

Ryan,

Thanks so much for the info. I really appreciate it! I needed the Rev # because I want to purchase the master cylinder and didn't realize it was clutch pedal rev specific. Since it is a 2.2, I assume I just select "Older *RJM Rev1 or Rev2 Series Clutch Pedal Units".

The selling member was new and was kind of shady from the beginning. I should have followed my gut and backed out, but in the end it worked out to my advantage. After that sale I never saw him again on the forum.

Rob, you're very welcome and yes that is correct on the CMC odering. The main change is the Rev1/2 units have a custom clevis that was only ever offered with OE metric threading while the Tilton uses an imperial fine thread. With Rev3 versions I can simply provide a Tilton thread HD Clevis, with Rev1/2 to accommodate the oe threaded clevis original to those kits I have to change out the Tilton standard rod for a customized metric threaded one. Hence the multiple ordering options :)

Thanks again and have a great weekend!

Thanks, hope you have a great weekend as well.:tiphat:

Ryan,

I managed to get my hands on one of RJMs original CMCs from another forum member. Its unused, but it didnt come with the steel braided lines. The individual who I purchased it from said when he got it from RJM he didnt opt for the optional steel lines. I realize you have switched to selling a Tilton CMC, but is there any way I can get my hands on those lines?

Did they happen to tell you if it was a Gen1 or a Gen2 of the original series? Unfortunately many of the original Gen1's had issues and many got upgraded to the original Gen2 units (before Tilton units started being produced) which were an upgraded design internally. From the outside they were nearly identical and can only be identified by the piston retainer in the end of the cylinder. Gen1 was a gold rear washer under the snap ring while later Gen2 units have a black/grey rear retaining washer under the snap ring.
As for not buying the upgraded line with it, that was a load of BS as the braided lines and other fittings required to install it all came with every CMC as you can't install them otherwise. I do still have some of the old lines left over in the shop somewhere, I'll have to dig one out tomorrow. You'll also need the special japanese metric flare to -3AN adapter fitting if you didn't receive that either. Shoot me a PM with your address and I'll work up a price for the line, fittings and shipping.
Best Regards,
Ryan@RJM

According to the sale thread it's a gen 2

Also, could you post a pic of the missing parts? The seller is stating he wants to make this right and would like to see exactly what they look like so he can look around his shop for them.

BIG Weekend Sale on til Sunday Feb 2nd.
 

If I get this pedal should I still do the csc delete? Maybe it's just me but my first gear starts are shakey compared to my RSX lol.

Mighty370Z, if your not currently experiencing any problems like slipping under heavy throttle or violent shaking/shudder then no, I would save any CSC upgrades for a time when you're already doing a new clutch/flywheel at the same time. As well I still recommend the HD CSC's for best clutch feel as in the past 3-4 years since CSC delete kits have become a thing I've seen and heard far too many people having issues with them, especially those from certain companies I won't mention publicly. That said the one CSC delete kit I do endorse if you were to upgrade down the road is the CMAK system but I feel their HD CSC kit is a tried & true bulletproof system that still has its advantages over a delete.
The AFP system will make a dramatic difference in your shakey starts, make the 1-2 shift far easier to nail every time without any thought, will help extend the life of your existing CSC as long as possible and reduce the risk of sudden CSC blowouts.

Alright thanks, I went ahead and ordered the pedal :D

You're very welcome and Thank you for your order. It'll be shipping out later this afternoon or first thing tomorrow morning. Have a great day.

Thanks for the fast delivery! I haven't installed it yet but am I supposed to hear a clunking sound towards the back of the car when I push in the clutch? I'm not sure if 370z are just this noisy or something is up with my car. Would it be better getting the HD CSC done before installing the pedal?

Mighty370Z, you're very welcome! For the clunking I can't say I've ever noticed much clunking on any of the 370Z I've driven. I know my G37 never had any noticable chunks. Might want to have your U-joints in the driveline checked out as I know my truck had bad clunks when the rear u-joint self destructed. Otherwise it still drove fine except for the noise.

Look up axel click. There are a few threads about it

I ordered the newest RJM clutch pedal several months age, went to install it and found out that the previous owner had installed one. Older model with a white knob for adjusting. i went ahead and installed the new one and will probably sell the older model. If anyone wants it, let me know. I’ll post it for sale in classified form in a week or two. I Hope the new model had advantages over the older model.... will make me feel better.

Wigjiggy, the current Rev 3 series definitely has a large number of improvements over the older Rev1/Rev2 models. The main improvements are in ease of installation with the Rev3 coming as a fully built unit, where Rev1/Rev2 came in pieces and the pedal arm, bushings, spring and cross pin had to be installed in stages onto the firewall under the dash. The Rev3's are about half the time to install and tune. As well they have greater adjustment capability and a better AFP adjustment system with a built in indicator showing the setup point in 25% increments. In addition to the HD clevis system which is also easier and faster to install. Finally the upper switch mount adjusts in seconds with just a single tool. This is critical as the upper switch needs to be adjusted every time the AFP or clutch rod adjustments are made saving additional time and frustration during the tuning process. Gen3 is also directly compatible with the Tilton Gen2 HD Master Cylinder system where the Rev1/Rev2 units are not.
Hope that helps explain the massive differences that happened between the Rev2 and Rev3 series. They don't actually share a single part in common besides maybe the bolts used in assembly. Everything else was new from the base plate up or updated in some way.

Thanks Ryan.

I finally got the pedal installed along with the Zspeed CSC and new ACT clutch and man does it feel wayyy better than stock! The throw is shorter and engages early and very smooth to drive even if you let out too early. :tup:

Received mine today. Thank you!! This is Jay from NC. Hopefully install it in about a week
