New Clutch Mod I'm working on - Long Read :)
it's quite an amazing transformation. i really can't stress that enough. and the "hack mods" previous to this were decent. they made a difference, but to call this a "difference" is quite an understatement. Transformation.

I have a question regarding clutch rod misalignment after fitting and adjusting your modification bracket, as from what i can see it basically shifts the fulcrum point and unless there is another part that i haven't seen? it will operate the clutch rod at an angle and change the loading, do you not think it may lead to accelerated wear on the master cylinder after a while due to misalignment?

Tricky-Ricky - That is exactly why the brackets are fabricated as a 2pc design so the top bracket stays fixed to the under dash support while the main bracket can be raised or lowed specifically to address the clutch rod mis-alignment issue that occurs as soon as you modify the fulcrum length. This would indeed put the clutch rod in a bind and rapidly destroy the master cylinder if it wasn't addressed in the design. Once you've adjusted the clutch rod angle there is a cross bolted clamping system that rigidly locks the 2pc brackets together along with the lower mounting hardware.
Special thanks to LoSt180 for pointing out my mistake on the 07' G35 Coupes. You are correct they did not receive the update to the VQ35HR in 07' like the Sedan

I see, as i had only seen this pic,

I hadn't realized that the complete peddle bracket was necessary, hence my comment, now i have seen the whole thing i understand, having a JDM model, i decided to just re drill the pedal and make a dropping link to realign the master cylinder, which achieves the same result.

Yes, that picture is from the very early prototyping on this project. Pretty much all of the parts in that pic were updated multiple times since then. The bronze bearings and retaining clips remained the same though.
oh nice.. I still stall mine a coupe times a week lol and would love a 2nd gen solution.

Just an Update - The 07' G35 Coupe's are now supported by the current kits along with the 07'-08' 350Z's.
Gen 2 G35 Sedans should be ready sometime in March now.

Got my kit this morning and installed it right away. The difference is night and day. Smoother take offs and shifts. It's so much easier to drive that my girlfriend likes driving it now and thinks she's gonna start taking the G to work..pssh yeah right.
