Gentlemen,

Don't let the clutch action scare you off the car!

370Z & G37 AFP Clutch Pedal Assemblies

The above link is to a clutch pedal manufacturer that for $270 US completely transforms the clutch engagement feel and transforms the car. This guy lives 70 miles from me (I have nothing to do with his business) and I visited him at his garage at home to pick my adjustable clutch pedal for my roadster.

Once home, and a couple of hours later, I had a whole new car with the same perfect clutch takeup that my 1971, my 1984 and my 1990 Z's all got from the factory. How Nissan screwed up the 370Z's pedals makes no sense, but this RJM guy has got it fixed.

You will absolutely love it, and its fully adjustable, is a DIY install with basic tools, and uses your original pedal pads. Check it out. You will not be disappointed!!

I prefer the old style fangs than the newer running drls for the z.

Toss some dynomat or equiv in the door and hatch and you band you have a reduction in road noise and the pebble dings in the rear hatch.

I can comfortably say i have done multie long distance road trips (3000 mile+) and havent had any issues. I would play some tetris and you will be suprised what you can fit in

Does this gen Z still have the same issues? That G35 clutch action was pretty annoying, even my 240Z was easier to modulate LOL.
Clutch is a bit annoying, but I’ve gotten used to it in the last few months. Not a deal breaker for me, but you should probably drive one before settling on it. It is weird for sure. Bite point is a bit strange feeling and narrow, but doesn’t seem to like very much simultaneous throttle and and fast clutch release (for fast, but smooth take offs), it shudders. I would have said the clutch was slipping, but with a change in clutch style, I’ve been able to eliminate it.

I have to say, the car feels great going from gear to gear though, no issues really with medium fast shifts when you drive the car in anger. Gotta wait a little for the syncros though

Ive had wot 1 2 3 shifts that have been smoother than my nanny driving 1 2 3 shifts

Cold starts i find its clunkier. Definitely hold the clutch in to assist smoothening it out.

It just takes time to get used to. I did helper spring removal but the top end slack felt ghetto. Got the rjm pedal 3.1 much better personally. I run the windie at 25% iirc. Its a great ease of life mod. Not the most fun to install though
