Clutch pedal play - how much is too much?

[Tomm350z]

So I got my 350z on the road and drove it for the first time today! love it already although I have noticed there's some free play in the clutch pedal before it actually engages. I've attached a link to the video I took so you can see how much play there is.. is this normal for the 350z or not?

Good question lol. I'll record a video of mine in a minute for you.

Uploading now. Haven't watched your vid but there's a fair bit of movement in mine before you feel any resistance.

Id say its normal, although everyone is bound to be different. Too many variables. Before I had my new CSC and braided line fitted, I definitely had what I would describe as a deadzone, where it made 0 difference. Was very much nothing nothing nothing "clutch engagement" and we're off.

 

At the back of the pedal there is a pushrod and two nuts, which you can use to adjust the biting point. Its an absolute fiddle mind.

Ahh ok nice one, Just felt a bit weird as my previous car had no free play in the pedal at all, I'll look into adjusting the pedal thanks

Brilliant thanks for that, looks pretty much exactly the same amount of play as what I've got.
