Review: RJM AFP Clutch Pedal System

ChipsWithDips · 03-10-2013, 07:41 PM

I was planning on installing mine this evening, and was just getting the tools together to do it. The one thing I'm missing though is 11mm open end wrench. Crap man who the hell uses 11mm bolts.

I skimmed through the instructions but didn't see what part this tool is actually needed on. Can anyone who has done the install tell me? Could I get by with 11mm socket or a crescent wrench or something or is it some tight fit where you can't get those tools in there?

All of the hardware used in the RJM Pedals is common imperial nuts and bolts. The bolts in question are 3" long 1/4-20's and require a 7/16 *or* 11mm wrench. That way people can use which ever they have on hand in their tools boxes. You can also use a 7/16 socket without any issue on these openly accessable bolts. These are used on the side tension bolts that lock the sliding center section and also adjust the side-side tension on the fulcrum shaft bearings.

OK, thanks. I don't know where the hell my imperial wrenches went, but I had a 11mm socket that worked fine as you said. Got it installed and it feels great. I set it to the basic all the way counter clockwise minus 3 turns base level and didn't feel the need to do any any readjustment. Thanks for the great product and you are really on the ball with answering questions.

I wonder if this is compatible with RHD 6MT 370Z's?

MIX370Z, Unfortunately that's a question I've been trying to sort out for several months now and so far have struck out trying to get anything out of Australia. Several guys where going to take detailed photos of their RH OEM pedal assemblies for me to see what if anything was different but its been months and they never got back to me with anything. As well I've not been able to get my hands on a factory RH pedal so I can develop one for the RH Guys if it is different. I've contact several wrecking yards in Australia but they either completely ignored my emails or didn't have anything

Even Nisswrecks which is supposed to be a large dealer and wrecker for Nissan specific parts couldn't be bothered to respond to me after several attempts to contact them.

Would you be interested in helping out by taking some detailed photos under your dash? I'd need some good overall shots, a shot of the upper pedal arm area and where it mounts to the firewall to tell for sure how different they might be.

Installed mine today very easy but easier if you remove the plastic knee bolster and bolt on metal plate under it for easier access.

Definitely allot better than before and I'm on a stock clutch,shifting is easier smoother,plus taking off from a stop is smoother.

It reminds me of a cable operated clutch.

Love it thanks Ryan
