Anyone running RJM pedal?
 
Friday ill be pulling the trigger to getting RJM pedal kit for my 370z....just to correct what Nissan did wrong. I'm super excited about this pedal, that Friday cant come fast enough lol. I'm just waiting for Ryan to have the HD clutch slave cylinder material back in stock so he can make them again, anyone purchase this pedal? any thoughts/feedback? ive been reading up on them for few years and everyone Is in a WOW with it!. I have a 2009 370z full exhaust now tuned and I just wanna add the cherry to the cake and make my car that much more enjoyable!

A lot of people run this pedal, as do I. It was one of the best mods for this car. You're going to love it.

Couldn't stand the factory pedal. RJM clutch pedal was my very first mod. It's awesome. You won't regret it.

It wasn't available when I ordered my pedal. You're really replacing your master that often? Seems excessive. Do you still have the OEM clutch slave cylinder?

I have the HD clutch slave cylinder did that already. At the same time i also put a new clutch master into. Then after a year that went. What happens is at the very tippity top my pedal has dead play. Like the top of the clutch pedal can literally bounce about 1/2 worth of play. So I replaced it. Pedal was awesome for about a year and same thing. But not as bad. I do live in the city so its alot of stop and go traffic which I think they are prematurely failing.

I upgraded to the RJM master V2 and it is an improvement. Smoother linear motion and more adjustment. But I never had an issue with the original. Quite a few have with hard driving though.

I honestly starting to think its because of the city driving. With the way these clutch pedals are to begin with, and all that stop and go traffic.

I run both. I’m pleaded with the MC and the pedal. I replaced both units when I got my twin disk installed.

I installed the AFP adjustable clutch pedal mod from RJM Performance on my last Z and it is one of the best modifications you can do for a manual Z car and I highly recommend installing one. I notested it definitely makes improvements in clutch feel,your stroke length,overall firmness and pedal height. It will make a great improvement in any clutch type. I found great improvements in my competition clutch set up. Made my launches at the track much easier. 1st and 2nd shifts were made more faster and smoother.

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.

still waiting on my pedal should be here Wednesday at this point. ill be keeping everyone posted

370zBLAST 04-23-2018 08:58 PM

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!

fork 04-24-2018 09:57 PM

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.

370zBLAST 04-25-2018 06:37 AM

If in not mistakin i think the 1/2" pedal motion at the top of the pedal stroke is normal. Its says it somewhere in his website. My RJM HD CMC stiffen up the pedal feel. Compaired to my stock CMC (which was on its way out) so I really don't have something to compair it to.

Been a week or so since i did the pedal swap. The car feels so much easier to drive especially being stuck in traffic. Engagement is butter smooth, where you dont have to ride the clutch like you would of in the old clutch pedal, and first to sec jerky feel is calmer.
