do it. sports car requires nice looking pedals.

Why's that? It's not like someone is going to shove their face in the footwell and go "WHAT THE ****"

:icon18:

if it dont bother u den okay. but my cars all have metal nice looking pedals to compliment the interior. u spent money on other bits, why halfarse the pedals?

If I was you, Id try out some gold pedals. Would be a good start on getting gold instead of red in the interior. :hello:

Because they are a part that are not going to be seen 90% of the time.

I can totally see gold/red two-tone pedals in his interior. Tits! :excited:

Being 6' 1" and 230 lbs, petite I am not, nor am I as flexible as I used to be. In short, I'm really not looking forward to installing this thing. But I'd rather take a couple hours (or more) and do it myself than pay someone to do it. At least, with me doing it, I know it's done right.

I'll definitely make note of your tips. Anything to make things go smoothly. Thanks!

You are pretty much exactly my size. I've done four RJM clutch pedal installs now. Let me tell you the newest version is so much easier to install and adjust than the old one. You shouldn't have any troubles if you're at all mechanically inclined, but it's not exactly a fun install.

The best tip I have is to set up something next to the driver side that is just about door sill height (I use an old wooden file cabinet turned on its side - it is pretty sturdy). Add blankets and pillows to provide cushioning for you and to protect the car's paint. This will make it much more tolerable working on your back down in the footwell. If you start to feel cramped or are just uncomfortable, spend your time down there in short 5-10 min sessions. I found that the better the cushioning, the easier it is to spend longer periods down there.

Black/gold/carbon outside, black/red inside

Brake fluid flush today :tup:

I feel like this is something I should probably do

Well if you want a fifth RJM install under your belt, come on over to FL and install mine. I'll buy you lunch and dinner! LOL

More great tips. Thanks! So no need to put the car up on ramps I guess. Sounds like that would make things more difficult.

Today I also tried to tighten up my steering wheel tensioner per this thread: http://www.the370z.com/engine-drivet...ring-rack.html The nut was covered in much more gunk than the OP's pic in that thread and quite loose. After about 3/4 turn it tightened up a bit. I gave it at least another 1/2 turn and a test drive, but I'm still not happy with the steering play. I have an appointment scheduled with the dealer tomorrow to look at it as well as the flashing airbag light on my dash.

Map lenses. Phone won't upload but most posters likely did this long ago.


They shouldn't be GT-R lenses but more of "WTF Nissan stop holding out".

Don't be afraid to take the seat out to give you some room to turn wrenches. :tup:

what about the girl? you know... road head and all...

nsfw sounds...then 'oooo shiny pedals'

:inoutroflpuke:

agree... especially with the amount of work he's done.

imo his inside is tack cause ain't gold! jk. I like the work he has been doing.

If you don't have anything that height... try using gardening pads. I had about 3 laid out and some towels on the skirt part :tup:

Madwi has a good point too! lol I found it wasn't so much the side that hurt me it was the damn seat thigh supporting thingie jabbing my back that caused the most discomfort.

I would also suggest wearing long sleves. I got rug burn on my elbow pretty good. I also used a strap on light on my head.

Da hell u talking about. With ur philosophy 99% of the time no one will see ur interior. Why bother doing anything! :D

I opted to leave the seat in. It wasn't too bad getting under there, and would have been fine if you could just do everything in one shot. It was the in/out in/out in/out from the awkward position that really sucked.

That and RJM must have a lot of sharp edges cause I sliced the heck out of my right hand lol

Reminds me I need to adjust it again today. Still trying to nail down exactly where I want it.

I left mine with the default setting but raised the pedal to the max. My wife and I both drive the car and I'm a good 10 inches taller. She drives with the seat all the way forward :-)

I put my afp to 50. Initially set the pedal height to the lowest setting and let's say I was in awkward position. Put it to max and it's about aligned with the brake pedal and it's perfect!

My feminine fingers were sore from prying out th3 stoppers lol

That's strange. When I tried the pedal at max that way it was Wy above the brake pedal. I'm probably sitting around 3/4 of max right now, and going to adjust it closer to 1/2 to see how I like it, which should be about flush with the brake pedal.

My AFP currently at 90 but going to try that closer to 50/60 as well.

I used needle nose pliers for the stoppers ;)

So sitting in traffic last night for about 30 min, going from 0-15mph. Got on the highway and Z would not move any faster. Tried switching gears and still nothing. Then I remembered limp mode. Pulled over, turned her off for one minute and then back on. Everything was ok afterwards. I was scared. Temp only went up to 220.

I'm afraid to dumb it down to your level because I'm afraid of heights.

Just sayin

:tup:

I KNOW!:yum:



IM JUST TO BROKE AT THE MOMENT........:shakes head:

220? I hit 220 every time I drive in the summer.

yeah so do i. Not sure what happened. Perhaps the continuous stopping and going?

well to be honest... I gotta double check. I'm pretty sure it was max height.

I did have needle nose pliers but the thing was a hard rubber and being a PITA. I literally had to put it down a few times. I found getting the pedal cover on without any warm soapy water easier than getting those fk'ers out!

I hit 105*c and peaked a tad over 110 (220 to 230 F) and didn't hit limp... and this is in stop and go traffic too. oh and almost stalled, pumped the clutch down jammed the gas, then popped the clutch and did an awkward peel out. lol oops.

im hoping it dosent happen again. If it does i may have an issue.
