Went in for one as well on the October sale. Excited to try this out. Will post more when it's in.

You know what would be the best name for an october sale? the "got to drunk at Oktoberfest and accidentally lowered the price too much, buy now while you still can sale"

Crypto2k 10-17-2014 03:21 PM

Lol. In that case I want to see a much lower price.

Question, the the instructions it says that 7 full turns should be the initial setup. Can the AFP settings be less than 7 turns with OEM clutch?

Yup. You can adjust the pedal as much as you want with the OEM clutch. The 7 turns is just the setting that makes the engagement action similar to the stock engagement. I have mine adjusted to around 3 turns with the stock clutch.

Yes, as Jarblue already noted you can adjust the pedal any way you want as the 7 turns is just the initial setup point which is pretty much guaranteed to get 99% of customers up and running first shot. From there you can fine tune however you want as long as you pass the disengagement tests as outlined at the end of the install guide and the initial friction point (on a flat surface) shouldn't be less then about 1.5" up from the floor. This ensures you always get enough stroke for complete disengagement.

Hope that helps!

Thank you andOne last question!
it says that the clutch pedal needs to be parallel to the brake pedal..
But same as in depth-wise? Or height-wise?
right now, my clutch is slightly pushed up than the brake pedal. I just wanna know if this is correct.
Thank you

That would be height wise roughly level. You can loosen the 3-bolt connection between the upper and lower pedal arm sections to allow the pedal pad to raise or lower about 3/4" to fine tune if you want or can leave it. Otherwise being roughly level with the brake pedal +/-1/2" or so is just another of those initial starting reference points and can be adjusted however you wish within the limits of adjustment after install.

Really looking forward to purchasing one of these! Been frustrated with the small engagement window of my stock set-up since I bought it.

I had the RJM Performance adjustable clutch pedal installed today, and it is a night-and-day difference from stock. I haven't fully fine-tuned it yet, but this is exactly how a clutch should feel. At 70% (which is the recommended starting point), the clutch effort required is greater, which is appropriate for the 370Z, but at the same time, the feel is much better. Also, the engagement point is closer to the floor, and its window is more predictable/repeatable.

The unanimous praise this clutch pedal has received is well-deserved. As someone else has written, you will wonder why you waited so long to get rid of the stock clutch pedal. I ordered the RJM pedal three days after getting my 370Z. My prior car was a 2007 350Z, and in my opinion, that car's OEM clutch is a bit better than the 370's. I got used to it over the seven years I owned it, but it was by no means great or even good. However, the 370's clutch is borderline intolerable/unacceptable unless you drive the car very gingerly or deliberately.

Further, I want to reiterate how excellent Ryan's customer service is. My experience has been exactly what others have reported. Ryan has answered all of my emails in an timely fashion (within a day at most), and his replies have been extremely detailed and relevant to all of my questions. He does not gloss over anything and goes the extra mile to explain everything in easy-to-understand language. Ryan is simply outstanding, and he deserves the recognition.

So to anyone who is considering replacing the OEM helper spring with the Century spring or even removing it altogether, I implore you not to waste your time with either of those mods; they are Band-Aid fixes at best. Just go all the way and get it done right the first time. Yes, the RJM clutch pedal costs considerably more than a replacement spring, but it is so worth it. Think about how many times you engage/disengage your clutch every time you drive the car. It is such an important interaction point with the car that changing over to the RJM clutch pedal alters the character of the car and transforms it to what it should have been from the factory. Being able to shift gears properly will exponentially increase your enjoyment of your Z.

So ... there it is.

Mine lanquishes on my desk waiting for the down time to install. This winter sounds good.
