Shout out to ryan @ rjm
 

INSTALLED THE rjm clutch pedal in my 2013 370z nismo adjusted it and all i have to say is WOW. What a difference from that crappy stock on/off clutch engagement. I have only had the car for 4 months and didn't like driving the freaking thing because of the way the clutch was. If i drove it more then 45min's my calf knee and my sciatic nerve were killing me. Almost thought of selling the car because of it. Not only that the car was just not fun to drive.

Well after the RJM unit I don't want to get outta of the car now always looking for the long way home. Here's to you Ryan for a GREAT product Thank you.

I've had mine half that long and the pos oem clutch is driving my nuts. Will have to have a chat with Ryan one of these days!

Best $250 bucks you can spend on your car.

I agree it is a great product. Have a light flywheel and Specialty Z clutch. It was tricky without it. After install, it was night and day.

Is it adjustable?

Hate that mine (basically brand new at that) engages right at the top of the pedal. The rest is just dead stroke.

yes it is in 2 different ways. yea that small window at the top of the stock pedal sucks big gorrilla d@%k's. thats a thing of the past with the rjm unit.

i have the version 3.1 unit. i have the version 2.1 for sale if you want it pm me. does the same exact thing as the new unit but just takes a little more time to install.

Yup, awesome product. I got it within the first month of owning the car.. Have the latest version as well..

To the guys with just the RJM clutch, and stock everything else - what position are you guys at to engage the clutch?

stock here i am at 90.

awesome feedback! I definitely am not a fan of the stock clutch and will look into this soon.

Couldn't find a number on his webpage, does he not have a contact number???

email him, he'll get in touch with you.
I got my assembly today :) need to find some time to install it.

its a easy install it took me a hr. and i took my time in a pinch its a 40min install.

You should at the same time install Z1 stainless clutch lines and flush with Motul fluid.. It's recommended!

I've had the version 2 on my 13Z since about 3 months after picking up my Z in Aug of 2012. It's still working great and I'll give it a :tup:! Also Ryan is very responsive at RJM.

Appreciate that, and it is a good price, but I like the term complete assembly ready to install :)

Ryan hooked me up with a v3.1 should be here next week.

yup that's why i went with the new version.

Ordered mine Friday and just in time because my build is almost finished. Hopefully this should help with my os giken twin disk..

I have mine sitting at my shop for install after I get the Z back from getting the body kit and paint! Can't wait for my install either!

Let us know what you think after you get it in and tweaked.

I installed mine last night. so far so good. need to adjust the pedal's height but other than that it's sweet.

I'm running 50% afp. (0% is stock for reference, 75% recommended /preset for stock parts). I like the shorter throw but wanted a wee bit more play. I got my wee bit at 50% perfectly.
vibrations carry well and you can feel the clutch now.

oh I did meet Ryan yesterday too! Very nice fellow he is!

wow 50 i like 90 but thats the beauty of the part is adjustable.

75 is recommended max for oem. To be honest I liked the short play so just a tad more. Was even considering 25 lol race car!!!


But as you say... adjusted to how the individual likes it is the selling factor

Just contacted Ryan and thinking of getting this done this weekend on my 2016 Base, right now the clutch engages at around the 3/4 way point, how much of a difference would you guys recommend? higher? lower no, so would 75% be a 1/4 in engage? thinking half way or 50% would be best.

the way he explains it is the engagement of clutch will still be high but it draws out the engagement window

so lets say OEM is like

top(x|ooo|xxxxxxx)bottom

with the starting75% AFP you will get a window something like this

top(x|ooooo|xxxxx)bottom

or about 75% more play... I think. I could be wrong though.

sorry for cruddy drawing... :(

I totally understand your cruddy drawing mishuko and it looks correct :icon17:

And night blade, if you can understand his drawing, the RJM stock setting will have your clutch grab a little lower and then have a wider engagement window.

I've adjusted my engagement point lower but I found that I prefer it right at the stock setting from RJM.

rjm said i could go to 90 tops with a stock clutch. i liked 75 but 90 is the sweet spot for me.

Thanks Mishuko and Magic Bus, drawing explains it perfectly.

Going to try stock setting and go from there.

Mishuko your illustration perfectly matches my thoughts on this pedal.Got mine this morning,took me 2 hours with the installation taking my time.I left it at the recommended 70%,feels much better,why Nissan couldn't do this from the start is beyond stupid.My car is a 2016,and another motivation for me to get this pedal is Ryan claims it will help(solve) the csc issues,that certainly is a nice side effect.:driving:

go a little further like i did 90. Ryan said it was fine for stock clutch made the car as easy to drive as a 4 speed honda civic lol.

I might play with it with a bit and bump it up to 80,but wow,what a nice improvement to the drivability of the car.

it will help prevent it but no guarantees it won't fail.

I would still upgrade your csc and replace the master when the time comes

Fact thats why i started this shout out for a great product. Changes the drivability from one of the worst clutch feel's i have ever felt I.E.>and i have driven many. former valet parker here and stick car owner since the 80's. To a very smooth driving feel.

Anyone find that this pedal also helps with downshifting when using rev match? I find that with the stock pedal, it's hard to get a fully dampened downshift (no jerk/lunging) in the low-mid rpm range. The downshift seems to get fully dampened at a higher rpm.

Just wondering.

I will be installing another pedal for a buddy of mine,this time I will spend the extra 5 min to remove the drivers seat.No doubt it will be well worth the time for bigger guys.

I here that I am 5'11'' 212lbs and the install tweaked every bone i have. If i had to do it again the seat would have been removed.

That's a good idea, I'll have to do that.
My pedal is out for delivery in the brown truck as we speak :)

I have tinkered around with different settings,for me the 75% setting Ryan ships it out with is the best.Great product!!!!!

Yea Ryan did his homework on the unit 75% is great setting.
