RJM Clutch Pedal System for 370Z - Fully Customizable Clutch Feel & Stroke

JARblue

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

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

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

It definitely shows

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

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

That's funny!! Free upgrade demands.. lol.. in that case I should get a free upgrade to the new Z when the dealer gets them in. Hell, they are a big company and can afford it.

I'll try the adjustmentsame you suggested. I'll get back to you in a few days on how it went. It's raining out.

YzGyz, just sent you a long and detailed PM with my suggestions on your setup and how to hopefully get it better dialed in.

For the Rev3 visually it doesn't look that different from a Rev2 however it was completely redesigned from the foot pad up and there isn't a single piece left in common with the older units. The changes all focused on ease of install and ease of tuning... So the number of adjustment points and range of adjustment remained virtually unchanged. When a Rev2 and Rev3 are setup equally you shouldn't be able to tell them apart by driving feel unless you look under the dash.
The key new features are that the Rev 3 now comes with the upper pedal arm fully installed in the main bracket. Everything is greased, upper arm in place, spring in place and it all goes up onto the firewall as a complete assembly ready to go.
The AFP adjustment is now a simple sliding plate with an indicator window to show you what the AFP is set for.
The AFP now comes pre-setup so all you do is bolt it in and its already at the magic starting point I recommend.
The upper switch now has a simple moveable mount that adjusts with loosening just one Allan head bolt for quick adjustment. No more jam nuts to mess with.
The Rev3 uses the OEM clevis end on the master cylinder so you no longer need to remove and replace it. Since the clutch rod setting was ok with the OEM pedal and the clevis doesn't need to be touched anymore you can go straight to test driving without needing to do any further setup with it. Just fine tune later if needed.
The Rev3 bracket design is more open and allows better access around the master cylinder studs so it's easier to see them, start the nuts and tighten them down with less obstructions. In Rev 3.1 this got improved even a little more as additional clearance was given beside the upper left stud to help with starting the nut.

So that means:
No more installing of the bare main bracket on the firewall first.
No more greasing & installing the bearings into the pivot tube under the dash.
No more greasing and installing the spring under the dash.
No more having to line up the pedal arm in place under dash, while keeping the spring from falling off and pushing the large clevis pin thru to hold everything together.
No more double jam nuts to fight with when adjusting the upper cruise control switch depth which needs to done when making other setup changes.
No more need to setup the initial AFP starting point during the install.
No more counting the number of turns of the AFP adjuster and estimating where it's setup for or worse yet turning the wrong direction and wondering why it's not responding how you want it.

So basically a lot of little things that when all put together make the Rev3 MUCH easier to install, tune and understand what needs to be done compared with the Rev2.

Very cool Boss. I had no problem at all installing the V2. It was easy. Any improvment is good improvement. Rep

I spent probably a good 30 minutes just wrestling with nuts that go back on the CMC studs in my Rev 2 install. Better tools this time and much more open access to those studs knocked that time down to about 30 seconds when I installed the Rev 3.0 just recently (and I understand Rev 3.1 has even better access).

Ryan, I will buy a new clutch pedal whenever you have the HD CMC ready. If you think you'll have something before the next batch of clutch pedals is ready, please set one aside for me. Let me know if you need anything from me.
