The RJM Performance heavy duty master cylinder is not your only option. Also consider the Z Speed Performance heavy duty master cylinder it’s a excellent unit too. You guys with manual Z’s will never get around the CSC issue it is inevitable.

Only thing i see for aftermarket clutch master cylinder for the z is for the 350z. which i guess is some kind of wilwood universal type.

It’s a crap shot. If you run a heavy duty clutch like my twin disk, you will burn through MC’s. Also depends on your application of driving, buddy of mine has gone through 4 MC but he tracks the **** out of his car.

This would be my third one, 2 being factory, 1 being luke clutch product, 4th one being rjm now. I don't really beat on my car like that. I really think its from the city driving. I have faith in the RJM clutch pedal and master.i feel like this will solve our terrible drivability problem. My clutch is still stock! I replaced the clutch slave cylinder with the HD couple years ago.

Congrats 370zBLAST I hope you enjoy it and it works out for you. This will work just fine on your 2018 370Z with a Exedy clutch you will see much improvement.

Pedal arrived today! Took me about 2.5hr to install. With jacking the car up and pulling the wheel and getting setup. All in all, install was easy, just getting under the dash was tough. Im a 5'11 and 200 pounds bending and twist like a gymnastics and im one of those that's as flexible as a 2x4. Anyways install was a success. I ran into one hiccup with HD master cylinder the supplied bolts didnt wanna sit flush, when i tried mounting it, BUT after reading the instructions once again.... I had an early production 370z so I had to swap studs and went in mint!. Swapped sensors. Left it at "out of the box" afp and locked it down!. Its awesome.

First impression- clutch pedal pressure feels stiffer comparied to my stock whacky clutch master cylinder. started it up to make sure the car started after touching the sensors lol. Moved it up and down my driveway at first and it felt great! Like a better smoothier engagement point (obviously). Took it for a drive, went into every gear smooth and no jerky in 1st to 2nd. Took a side street and ripped 1st 2nd and 3rd and wow perfect Engagement.

Sorry I didn't take more pictures, But I was on a mission and fighting with day light. took the car to work and feels MINT! I'm going to drive around for a couple day and then go under dash to make sure everything is still where it should be. any questions ill try and help as best as I could! the product is built amazing!

Received mine today and just put it in and can confirm that it does make an improvement on the stock Exedy clutch. I admit that I was skeptical that this pedal would be an improvement. I thought that the stock clutch felt pretty good on it's own. But the RJM pedal feels a lot lighter than the stock and has a much smoother engagement as well.

The install is cramped under the dash but the instructions are clear and detailed and that helps make installation as easy as it can be.

My only concern after the installation and test drive is that the first 1/2" of clutch pedal movement feels soft like there is no resistance. I ordered the HD clevis and had taken up the master cylinder clevis slack just as specified in the instructions. There is no more slack to take because the MC is moving during that first 1/2". It is a very comfortable, linear feel after that point but it just doesn't have a good feel when you first put in the clutch or when you are coming off of it. I am planning on contacting RJM and see if they have anything to say about it.
