Change out your clutch pedal assembly for the RJMPerformance unit that is totally adjustable and can be installed by a DIYer in an hour. I put it in my 2016 Roadster myself. It will fix all of the shift issues you're experiencing.

Here's the website: https://www.rjmperformance.com/370z-...ssemblies.html

I have the RJM clutch pedal mod and yes it is a must if you have a Z. But it wont fix the 1st-2nd gear pull, the Z transmission just does not like to be rushed plain an simple. If it shifted like a porsche or even a s2k/rx7 it would be a dream.

My issue with the shift has nothing to do with the clutch, but the gearbox synchros. If I shift between 3,000 and 4,000RPM, 2nd gear grinds or "catches" on the selector every time. It does this until I've been driving for at least 45 minutes after which it's smooth. This is even with taking my time shifting gears, not rushing it.

The only cure (as I read on here) is to shift REALLY slowly 1st->2nd, or rev to 4,000RPM first and shift faster.

Kinda annoying having to drive around it.

The fuel starve issue with the 370Z is probably the most annoying issue I have had with my 370Z and I have had very few. Overall the 370Z when comparing to similar vehicles on the market they are very reliable/dependable but every vehicle has it’s corks. On the street and on the track a specially the fuel starve issue was always there. I found that depending on how hard you push your 370Z some owners got it and some did not. Myself just like a lot of people installed a fuel starve kit on my Z and it was the fix for this issue.

The Z isn't the only car to have fuel starve.

Now my biggest issue is shifting neutral to 1st. I think a lot of that is geometry though - I have very long legs and it's a very small car.

^^ This, the stock clutch pedal assembly is like an on-off switch. Couldn't deal with it, the RJM clutch pedal assembly fixed it 100%.

might be too late of a post, but I had trouble from neutral to first as well. Did alot of experimenting and found the best way to keep it smooth is putting your foot at the top of the clutch pedal & do the blip motion gas to first gear.

One thing I hate is the folding door mirrors - You have to fold them in before you exit the car yet I often check my drivers door mirror before I exit the car when parked on the street.

So I usually leave them unfolded for this reason.

Automatic fold when locking the car with the fob would have been good.

One thing I hate is that ours cars don’t have a resusable cabin air filter made by k&n
