Ordered!

I hope this is as good as everyone says! The shifting is really the only complaint I have on the Z. Especially, 1st to 2nd!!! It's just garbage!

I tried the clutch helper spring already and didn't feel hardly any difference at all. With the reviews some of you guys gave this I had to try it, even though it wasn't really in the budget right now.

I put an ipad mini in my cubby and hooked up dash command to get some baseline 0-60 runs for a baseline to compare against future mods, and do some product reviews at request of another vendor. When I went to some closed roads to do some testing I couldn't get a good run in! I'm not the worlds best driver, but I certainly am not terrible either!!! I couldn't get a good shift in. Had to call it off before the cops showed up! Now it's getting cold and car is going away without a baseline.

I HOPE HOPE HOPE HOPE, this is the answer!

Meulen I'm glad to see it arrived safely and you're happy with my workman ship
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.
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

Thanks Guys! Orders received and will be shipping out Monday for you

Meulen if you're getting locked out on the shifts and haven't already changed out your factory transmission fluid then a good way to help your synchros be all they can be is to run my Redline/Synchromesh fluid cocktail. The better fluid to help the synchros spool up/down faster in conjunction with the RJM pedal will allow you much, much faster and smoother 1-2 shifts when your pushing hard for those baseline runs.
MT-90 from Redline See about half way down the page.

Thanks Ryan! If you PM me a price I'll send another paypal for the fluid and I will give that shot

I'm not sure what's in there. I bought the car used. But it only has 22k on it so I doubt it was changed and if it was it was not likely anything more than something from the dealer.

Meulen,
I don't sell the Redline or Amsoil products but you can pick them up locally thru any speed shop that carries them or order some online from Summit/Jegs etc. I've simply experimented with multiple fluids and tried them all in my daily drivers. After a lot of fluid swaps I found the unconventional mixture of Redline and the Synchromesh fluid from Amsoil to be superior to any of them straight up. I'm not the only person who's experimented with the GM synchromesh type fluids as if you do some reading people across multiple vehicle brands and a huge range of different transmissions have seen improvements with the synchromesh fluid. While many have reported running non-synthetic synchromesh fluid hard in other transmissions requiring 75W90 gear oil without issue (and I've seen some long term results with blackstone lab testing to back them up) I feel the synchromesh fluid alone is too light to be run straight up which is why I mix mine with the Redline gear oil for the extra protection of bearings and gear teeth while still getting better synchro performance. Also the Amsoil is the only synthetic version of GM Synchromesh fluid I know of that's readily available off the shelf and mixes fine with the Synthetic gear oils from Redline.
As I noted before YMMV but I've had nothing but good things to say about it from my own use.

I have a stupid question. I've been driving manual cars for years and I'm a little confused now as to how the clutch is supposed to "feel". To me, the Z feels pretty much how all of my other cars have felt.

What is the desired feel that everyone is speaking of? A friend of mine who has done racing for years (Ferrari Challenge Series for one) said the same thing while driving my car that most of the people here are saying.

Hey Ryan, there was a post today (by dragonbreath) stating that he was having problems with water leaking into the driver's side and collecting in the footwell and behind the driver's seat. He did a water test but could not locate the source of the leak because of the insulation covering the firewall. However, he suspects that it may be related to the installation of the RJM clutch pedal assembly, and that the water is penetrating where the CMC and pedal assembly join. Have you had any reports of this problem? I find it a bit strange. I installed the RJM assembly and had no issues, but I'm mainly a fair-weather driver. Provided the assembly is tightened down properly as explained in the instructions, I can't see how it could leak. That said, it would be interesting to hear from others who have installed the RJM assembly whether they've experienced any problems with water leakage.

40 to 332, Thanks for posting about this. I've not seen or heard any reports of this unusual problem in the past or in the nearly 30k kilometers I've put on my G37S Coupe (daily driver in all weather) with the same RJM pedal assembly,master cylinder and firewall seals as the 370Z. Now neither my pedal assemblies or the factory pedal assembly have any sort of weather seal at the base of the bracket as they're both actually standing off of the firewall about 3/8" and only contact the firewall where the studs come thru. The factory pedal unit has stamped depressions where the studs are and my units have round spacers that fit between the firewall and the bracket to serve the same purpose.
If there is a leak at the firewall I would suggest that Dragonsbreath should look carefully around the master cylinder itself as the firewall seal is between the MC and the firewall from the engine bay side. Just speculating but if he pushed the MC away from the firewall during the install its possible the seal didn't go back in the same place or maybe bunched up causing a gap for water to seep in. However that area of the firewall is pretty protected above the wheel well and shrouded with plastic so I think it would be pretty hard for much water to make it up in from there unless there was tons of water pouring on it which there really shouldn't ever be.
