This. It's a good trade off between OEM and no spring. For less then $20 you can't go wrong. I drove it with no spring for a couple days and did not like the slop at all.

You guys really need a RJM adjustable clutch pedal it gets rid of all the flaws in the stock set up , it makes it feel like your driving a cable operated clutch.

I'm pretty happy with my oem setup now, maybe down the road.

I was just curious about these two adjustment since the OEM pedal has zero......unless you count adjusting the master cylinder rod as one

They are talking about adjusting the clutch and brake switches.

That's not really an adjustment though....its needed if you're doing that DIY clutch pedal stopper mod on myg37.com

Yeah the rod going to the master in the front and the sensor in the back.

Lol then why are they adjustable? There's nothing wrong with adjusting them as long as you do it right and don't engage the throw out bearing in the resting position.

The rod is adjustable. ive adjusted mine slightly as well. The brake and cruise switch aren't adjustments that affect the actual pedal feel and travel though. I hope youre not adjusting those switches to stop/limit the actual pedal travel....that needs to be done by the stoppers on the pedal frame.

I did. Without the spring the pedal falls further to the firewall. They most certainly are effecting pedal travel. With the upper switch moved down it takes the play out and the switch is properly engaged in the resting position. No effects, no problems.

I just bought an 09 370z and im trying to do this mod. It seems like my spring is yellow as opposed to the black ones that you guys have. Is this an aftermarket spring?

b15 · 08-21-2013, 08:15 AM

Nope that's oem. Mine was yellow as well.
