Ryan, are there any updates on when the units will be available? I believe the site said 3/7, just wanted to see if we're still on track

I was #9 of 25 IIRC.

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!

brancky3 · 03-15-2016, 06:07 AM

Received mine yesterday, will be installing tomorrow.

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.

ETA for the next batch of laser cut parts to resume production is Friday March 25th. Get your orders in early for best delivery as units are fabricated and shipped in the order in which they're received once parts arrive in house at ~4 per working day. The last batch sold out completely before the new units even arrived in house and orders are already stacking up towards the next batch of 25 units. So if you're looking to pick one up this month you'd better act fast before they sell out again

As well I have some big news. I've been hard at work these past few months developing a custom manufactured Premium HD Master Cylinder for the 370Z/G37 platforms to rival or better the aftermarket offerings currently available for the 350Z's. I'm currently in the final stages of development testing and will begin rolling these out next month if all goes to plan

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.

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

Dbeckwith · 03-16-2016, 07:36 PM

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.

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

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.

Ryan @ RJM · 03-17-2016, 04:03 PM

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

brancky3 · 03-19-2016, 02:14 PM

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?
