any1 here adjusted thier clutch pedal height on the 350z???

mine was a lil tall on my g35c...and it made a world of a difference...I didnt adjust mine alot

now my friend wants to do it on his 350z....

who here has done it??? any bad effects???

 

any1?????

 

Didn't know we could do this on the Z, I'm interested also in this.

 

Maybe this helps:

 

and to complete:

 

Wow ask and ye shall recieve LOL

 

my past three cars were bmws and I had made a "clutch stop" it is bascially a bolt with a rubber cap. when the clutch pedal is pressed it hits the end of the bolt. thus I could loosen or tighten the bolt to adjust the amount of pedal travel.

I am sure you all realize that the clutch completely disengages before the pedal is completely pressed down. thus we have about 1-2 inches of free travel.

I just need to find out where I can install the clutch stop for the z I will probably use a U shaped braket that is installed at the base of the pedal or even attached to the pedal (made of aluminum)

Or just if your real desperate I have seen "ricers" put a brick at the base of their clutch pedal...no thanks..

 

I did this just this last weekend. There is a thread in the Repairing forum all about it.

It really DOES make a world of difference. I probabally adjusted my pedal down about 2 inches (less travel) ... and as someone in the thread said, its like a "short shifter" for your clutch pedal.

Try it... but make sure not to go too far down ... and when you test drive it after the adjustment, bring your flashlight and 12mm wrench with you, incase you need readjustment. Don't wanna burn up that clutch!

Oh also, you don't need to remove the Clevis and twist it... just loosen the locknut, and twist the pushrod with your fingers. Much easier that way.

 

surprise no1 here has done this adjustment , it makes the car soo much easier and funner to drive.. just like putting a short shifter on a car

on the G35, you just have to loosen the lock nut and turn the rod then retighten....just maje sure you dont adjust it alot...but even a small adjustment makes a big difference


charly where did you get that diagram?

 

I could bet it was from this forum but i dont know it for sure because i`m a BIG "collector" of every Z-relatet pic,diagramm or article.
My Z-dealer is even asking me questions about the Z all the time....
....and requesting pics and screen-savers and........
But he is a really great guy who made me very happy inviting me to pre-sale "VIP" events ,test-drives and so on.

I am a bit hesitant to perform this mod due to the recent posts by a knowledgeable poster over at Freshalloy.com Here is the thread.

Thanks for the informative link, afr0.

 

Afro, this *IS* good information to know. The good thing for me is ... I actually took my Z to the dealer (for its first free fluid change), and asked them about it... so THEY did the adjustment, and made note of that in the computer.

So... if my clutch wears out... I can say "Well, the Nissan Tech adjusted the pedal height on XXX day when I came in for service. You owe me a new clutch. ThankYouDriveThrough."
