'06 VQ35DE Crank and RMS photo - New JWT Clutch
Hi all.
Just wanted to post a picture of the Crank and existing RMS on my '06 350Z RMS and crank. After 103400 miles it is still clean and sealed. Here's the picture.

I am swapping out the factory clutch for the JWT clutch combo from CZP. Also a new nismo needle pilot bearing and chromoly pivot ball.

Did you swap out the clutch line for the ss braided one? My kit came with the pivot ball, pilot bearing, and clutch line. I was pressed for time when I did the install and left the oem clutch line on. I just recently threw that braided line on and it actually made a noticeable difference, which was unexpected. I also changed out the fluid and bled it, so that may account for the new and improved pedal feel.

I also have the RJM Perfomance adjustable clutch pedal kit on order. The JWT clutch is quite a bit stiffer the the stock '06 unit. The adjustability of the RJM unit should get the pedal feel close to what I'm used to. I'll post some picture of the state of the old stock clutch setup shortly.

Corsairprime, if you're going to the Wilwood MC you're going to need the Wilwood compatible version of my fork for the AFP sliding adjuster.
The oem unit uses a metric M8x1.25 thread clutch rod while the Wilwood MC uses a 5/16-24 NF threaded clutch rod.
I'll add a note to your order to fabricate the slider to the Wilwood spec for you. Good thing I happened to see your post.

Finding out the threads were wrong at the time of install would have been a major PITA.
