So your saying changing the clutch/flywheel takes care of the bad clutch pedal feel?

I hope this guy doesn't disappear.

I'll be getting a 350z soon and I might want this mod for it.

I'm not going anywhere guys. The project is moving ahead swiftly and will have parts in the hands of testers fairly soon. In the meantime I won't be discussing the product or sales until I have an advertising agreement in place with the forum owners.

Until then If anyone has any questions just shoot me a pm.

No news on the 07' and up yet. I'll be starting on the design for the 07'+ G35 & 350Z, the G37 and 370Z within the next few weeks.

I installed this last weekend.

I have an os giken twin disk on a 628hp g35. This clutch has always been a nightmare to drive.

for a first time since putting in my os giken i can slip the clutch. This is an amazing install and my nasty on/off style clutch actually feels like a real clutch.

I will do a writeup on my experience when i have time over thanksgiving. Hands down nobody with a g/z should drive a manual trans without this ESPECIALLY the grabby twin disk and triple disk clutches. For those people with the huge single clutch disk type clutches this is needed because it reduces the pedal effort by quite a bit. My os giken makes my clutch softer than my honda accord clutch now.

i installed mine tonight as well. i was astonished when i started to let the clutch out the first time. the car actually started to move lol. now the car feels a lot more like my other stick shift cars... and i like it. i would highly recommend this kit to anyone who is unhappy with the way the factory clutch feels, as well as the guys with the real heavy duty clutches like binder mentioned. the installation is straightforward and the instructions are good. i had a really hard time getting in that area to work at all because im relatively heavily built. i think it took me a little longer to get this done than the average guy based on what i have read here. it took me a little more than three hours, but boy was it worth it. it definately feels like a different machine! for $135 bucks, everyone should stop reading this now and go get one...

RJM Performance Mod

Installed the RJM Clutch pedal mod in my '06 6MT this weekend, mixed in with the occasional Margarita, took about 2 hours. Being 6'2", things were tight but managable. Great and clear instructions. Set mine at 75% with the pedal slightly above the brake. took it for a drive and was amazed at the differance in drivability. Was done for the day, the thought of sqeezing back under the dash after over an hour in there was dizzying, or maybe it was the Margaritas. Anyways, went back in and fine tuned some things yesterday, after spending so much time under the dash doing the install, left a few things not perfect. Raised the bracket a little as the rod was pointing down more than I liked, tightened everything up, verified the switches and bottom stop. Lowered the pedal to engage closer to the floor....SOOOO different than stock. I may raise it a bit if I don't adapt quickly. This took a total of about 10 minutes, so nobody should worry about not getting it perfect on the first try. But man, all gears are smoother, my passengers aren't getting whipped back and forth with every shift. Best mod ever, spent hundreds if not thousands on upgrading the sound system (F*** Bose), and countless hours tweaking and tuning, but this Mod has given me more peace and enjoyment already. Thanks a ton !
