RJM Clutch Master Cylinder Kit?

nandosman

About to pull the trigger on the RJM Clutch Pedal, and I see on their website the kit with the CMC. Has anyone tried it? Is it the same thing ZSpeed has? Not sure if I should hold to buy the kit, or just buy the pedal now, and buy the CMC fix from ZSpeed (or someone else) later. Any advice?

Which one are you referring to on zspeed? Only one I saw on his web was for the 350z?. I bought the kit (pedal and cmc) so far so good, my pedal actually stiffened up a bit with the new cmc. I was replacing mine that was on its way out.

The custom heavy duty RJM Performance clutch master cylinder and RJM Performance clutch petal is what I installed after my Nissan OEM clutch master cylinder began slightly leaking. Your petal will be more firm but is a must have mod for anyone with a manual Z and the CSC fix. You having everything to benefit from installing a RJM Performance clutch master cylinder I highly recommend one. This is a great time to consider installing a heavy duty clutch kit too. I went with the Z Speed Performance CMAK CSC at the same from Joe.

So the RJM kit isn't the same as the ZSpeed one?

Maybe the same concept as "Heavy Duty" BUT RJM builds his own CMC in house

The RJM Performance clutch master cylinder is a custom heavy duty clutch master cylinder unit. The Z Speed Performance clutch master cylinder is a Nissan OEM clutch master cylinder unit that deletes the clutch damper on the G37. Read up on the clutch cylinder adjustment. Clutch master cylinder failure can happen on the 370Z/G37 but is not a common problem on our 370Z.

I'm aware of the CMC issues with our cars, that's why I was asking about the kits. I'm under the impression that both kits are to fix the same issue, am I wrong?

Both the RJM Performance and Z Speed Performance clutch master cylinder kits are both to fix the possible issues with the Nissan OEM clutch master cylinder. My Nissan OEM clutch master cylinder failed just after a track day as I said clutch master cylinder failure can happen. That is why it is best to install a heavy duty clutch master cylinder and correct it before it can become a issue. The bonus is you can completely flush all your fluid with better fluid.

I've read that if you replace your master cylinder the slave cylinder will go soon after that. So better save some $ quick for that CMAK external slave and clutch/flywheel kit.

I just went with the factory master and CMAK slave

I thought people ran into issues with the CMCK? With always going out of adjustment? I went with HD CSC, RJM CMC and the pedal

From what I have seen it depends on how you use your Z. The symptoms if your CSCEK is out of adjustment it will become tough to get into first gear and your clutch will not depress completely and when you do get it in gear your Z will move forward even with the clutch depressed. Eventually it will fail though. If your Z does display the symptoms wait until your Z is cold and check your fluid to see where the fluid level is at and if you have fluid leaking under your Z.Also you may need to bleed the whole system. The Z1 CSCEK is known for going out of adjustment quite often. You can replace it or deal with it going out of adjustment all the time. I agree that the Z Speed Performance CMAK is the best choice.

Thanks for the help guys, I just bought my pedal from RJM. Hopefully nothing will go wrong with my CMC or CSC, until I replace them with aftermarket.
