I just installed this pedal today. Very simple and straightforward, the longest part was crawling in and out of the footwell 20 times.

I have only taken it out for a quick trip around the block, but I could immediately tell the difference. The engagement point was lower and was so much easier to engage without jerking it.

After I drive it a bit harder I will know how it is on starts and quick shifts.

All in all this is a great product, even on a stock clutch.

It took me a little while to dial to how I like it, but now its just sick :)

I like the engagement point to be high. Great product.

PS: My mechanic, Seb@SpecialtyZ liked the pedal when he drove my car, and he knows his stuff.

add me to the list of satisfied cutomers...
 
Installed the pedal assembly about 3 weeks ago and it is absolutely as advertised. I previously had a 300ZX twin turbo with a Jim wolf street clutch. Shifted perfectly without problems. After getting my 370 I was honestly questioning keeping the car due to the horrible clutch.
Not anymore.
The car shifts perfectly and just feels right. I wanted to wait a little while to see if there was going to be any problems with it before posting a comment. My thoughts from then to now are the same. Just excellent in design and application. Ryan is quick to respond to emails if you have any questions.

As for installation, I am not anything close to a mechanic and was able to install it. Took twice as long (about 4 hours) due to my lack of mechanical experience. Double checked every step. But it is straight forward.

Thx Ryan. Great work.

I thought the new helper spring would make me happy, but now I lust for this.

Thing is, it took me a long-*** time to just install the spring due to pin difficulties. I'm afraid I would be in my footwell for 8 hours trying to install this and come out of it with a disability.

If you own a G37 with a 6MT or 370Z 6MT this mod is a must! The first thing I noticed after buying my '09 Z was that the 1-2 shift off the line was harsh and a little tricky to master. When I saw this kit I didn't hesitate. I took my time with the install making sure that I followed the instructions to the letter. (2 hours total) The instructions are full of great pictures and each step is explained very well. The design is solid and the fabrication is first rate! The difference in drivabilty is worth every penny. Take a bow Ryan at RJM ! Nice Job!

Man after reading all these posts, the wait for mine is getting more and more painful! :P

I was planning on installing mine this evening, and was just getting the tools together to do it. The one thing I'm missing though is 11mm open end wrench. Crap man who the hell uses 11mm bolts.

I skimmed through the instructions but didn't see what part this tool is actually needed on. Can anyone who has done the install tell me? Could I get by with 11mm socket or a crescent wrench or something or is it some tight fit where you can't get those tools in there?

All of the hardware used in the RJM Pedals is common imperial nuts and bolts. The bolts in question are 3" long 1/4-20's and require a 7/16 *or* 11mm wrench. That way people can use which ever they have on hand in their tools boxes. You can also use a 7/16 socket without any issue on these openly accessable bolts. These are used on the side tension bolts that lock the sliding center section and also adjust the side-side tension on the fulcrum shaft bearings.

OK, thanks. I don't know where the hell my imperial wrenches went, but I had a 11mm socket that worked fine as you said. Got it installed and it feels great. I set it to the basic all the way counter clockwise minus 3 turns base level and didn't feel the need to do any any readjustment. Thanks for the great product and you are really on the ball with answering questions. :tiphat:

RHD compatibility
 
I wonder if this is compatible with RHD 6MT 370Z's?

MIX370Z, Unfortunately that's a question I've been trying to sort out for several months now and so far have struck out trying to get anything out of Australia. Several guys where going to take detailed photos of their RH OEM pedal assemblies for me to see what if anything was different but its been months and they never got back to me with anything. As well I've not been able to get my hands on a factory RH pedal so I can develop one for the RH Guys if it is different. I've contact several wrecking yards in Australia but they either completely ignored my emails or didn't have anything:confused: Even Nisswrecks which is supposed to be a large dealer and wrecker for Nissan specific parts couldn't be bothered to respond to me after several attempts to contact them.

Would you be interested in helping out by taking some detailed photos under your dash? I'd need some good overall shots, a shot of the upper pedal arm area and where it mounts to the firewall to tell for sure how different they might be.

Installed mine today very easy but easier if you remove the plastic knee bolster and bolt on metal plate under it for easier access.

Definitely allot better than before and I'm on a stock clutch,shifting is easier smoother,plus taking off from a stop is smoother.

It reminds me of a cable operated clutch.

Love it thanks Ryan :tiphat:
