Yes, I just placed it on reserve for you and will drop the stock qty on the website to zero shortly so don't be alarmed. Just go ahead and process the order thru the webstore as it'll process even at 0.

Thanks

Ryan @ RJM 11-23-2012 05:27 PM

Alright after the response I've gotten this week and after the G37 guys got wind of these running out I've placed a small order with the laser cutters to get components for building another 10 units for next week. Currently 3 are already spoken for by G37 guys so that only leaves another 7 up for grabs.

If you would like to get one of the last 7 being fabricated next week let me know. These will be it for several months and will finish off the last of the misc small components and hardware I still had on hand for the 370Z assemblies.

GaleForce 11-23-2012 07:24 PM

Mine just showed up in the mail today. I don't get to look at it until christmas though, it's a present from my wife :tup:

Thanks for the fast shipping!

gotchu99 11-27-2012 09:29 AM

Ryan, installed this on Saturday. Does exactly what you describe on your website. Gone is the springing back into my foot and inconsistent engagement. The 70% Afp setting you recommend is perfect. If you haven't already, you need to patent this thing. I will give a full review when I have more time.

Mr&Mrs 11-27-2012 09:31 AM

I got mine in the mail yesterday, didnt get a chance to open it yet. It will be a little while before I have time to put it in also. I cant wait though!!!!

You will love it. One of the best mods you can do to a manual Z.

Chuck33079 11-27-2012 09:45 AM

Mine showed up yesterday. Hopefully I get the time this weekend to put it in.

Is there a "stock/factory" setting? I'm still breaking in my clutch and was going to hold off installing the RJM clutch pedal until then, unless it has a stock setting.

Mr&Mrs 11-27-2012 10:47 AM

If you only change the point that it engages, I dont see how that could hurt anything. The friction area can be set the same.

gotchu99 11-27-2012 11:03 AM

The stock setting according to the instructions is the adjuster knob clockwise all the way until it stops. It says that this is 0% and is needed to get the full master cylinder stroke to bleed the lines if you ever had too. But on install you turn the knob counter clockwise all the way and then give it three turns to the right (clockwise) and thats 70%. Thats what it says to set it at for install. I believe as long as the clutch is at or higher then your brake pedal you should get full engagement and disengagement. If the clutch pedal is sitting lower then the brake pedal then turn the clutch Rod at the fork to adjust it to proper height. Mine was above the pedal without needing to tweak the clutch Rod at the fork. I'm sure Ryan can chime and and explain it better.

Mr&Mrs 11-27-2012 11:11 AM

Im confused now LOL maybe I understood things wrong. I thought all we were doing with this pedal is changing where the pedal itself causes the engagment/disengagement (but it stays the same). We can make it high in the pedal stroke (like stock) or low. Kind of like a short throw shifter. They dont change the gear distance itself just the distance it takes the shifter to do it by changing the axis.

The shop had a bleeding problem when they installed my clutch, I re-bled it when I got the car home but can't test it (no insurance). I just want to make sure it's working as it should be, before I change the clutch pedal assembly. I don't need a shop blaming the clutch pedal assembly when it's really a clutch problem.

Like gotchu99 posted if you set the AFP adjustment knob to 0% that gives the master cylinder full stroke just like stock. It will feel and function just like a factory pedal only without the assist spring to deaden the clutch feel.

Mr&Mrs the afp setting goes far beyond simply allowing you to adjust where the clutch bites high or low. By increasing the AFP setting it changes the mechanical advantage between the pedal and the master cylinder, this alters the movement ratio between pedal and MC. Doing this can make the width of clutch engagement narrow like stock or you can widen it out so there is more pedal swing between initial friction point and fully locked. This is what really sets my prodcuct apart from the simple spring mods and completely changes the Z driving experiance.

Also many 350Z owners have installed their version of my pedal along with new clutches (singles, twins & tripple disks) and it actually helps you with the break-in period so you could easily run the initial AFP setting at 70% or if you're worried could go down a little to say 50% or so. I'd probably drive it stock pedal till the weekend to make sure everything the shop did is good and all the air is out then have at the new pedal this weekend.

OOOOOOO ok, to many hours at work. Thanks for clearing that up.

Ryan @ RJM 11-27-2012 05:10 PM

No problem:tup:

Ryan @ RJM 12-01-2012 01:43 PM

Down to Just 1 Pedal Assembly Left Today.

5 More may become available around mid-month if theres enough interest before Christmas to get another batch of parts produced for these before holiday shutdowns.

This is my first manual car and i have learned to manage the narrow engagement point and the high friction point... i think.

My question is, how does the adjustment in this new pedal allow me to avoid:
- Significantly Smoother Shifting with much less jerking all gears?
- Makes those 1-2 shifts which are difficult to get smooth much faster & smoother?
- Super easy launches with better control and less shudder?

I experience these problems and would be keen on solving them if this pedal does that.

Also, how much would shipping be to Melbourne, Australia (zip code: 3000)?

Thanks

Here is how I explained it to Mr&Mrs back a few posts ago about how my pedal system achieves what it does.

Mr&Mrs the afp setting goes far beyond simply allowing you to adjust where the clutch bites high or low. By increasing the AFP setting it changes the mechanical advantage between the pedal arm and the master cylinder, this alters the movement ratio between pedal and MC. Doing this can make the width of clutch engagement narrow like stock or you can widen it out so there is more pedal swing between initial friction point and fully locked. This is what really sets my product apart from the simple spring mods and completely changes the Z driving experience.

With the stock pedal system there is lots of dead space at the bottom with a high engagement point and narrow window to modulate. This makes it more difficult to master and jerky then it needs to be.

Stock pedal stroke is like this:
[ dead, dead, dead, dead, friction/locked ]

RJM Adjusted Fulcrum Point is more like:
[ dead, friction, modulation zone, locked ]

It utilizes a normal or slightly shorter then stock pedal stroke but removes the dead space by putting it to good use and making it become an active zone you can modulate the clutch with rather then simply shortening up the stroke like other mods. Simply shortening the stroke gets the friction point down but it doesn't make the engagement zone larger between the initial friction point and fully locked which is what makes the clutch easier and smoother to modulate under all driving situations.

Unfortunately though my product only fits vehicles built with a Left Hand steering wheel such as for North America and other countries which follow the left sided driver position and drive on the right hand side of the road.

The clutch pedal assemblies used on vehicles where the driver controls are on the right hand side of the car are completely different from those used in LH vehicles and won't work.

g96818 12-15-2012 03:20 PM

Ryan, you're basically saying that this gets rid of most of the dead space at the bottom, shifts the friction/engage point sooner, increases the modulation zone, but locks at the same point as the factory clutch?

is it possible to set it up such as:
[ dead, friction, locked, dead, dead, dead ]
