angel350 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 hi all just picked up my 350z last week ( sunburnt orange with gt pack 2003) and i must say i am loving every second of it. but i did have a look at the weekend about all this clutch adjustment lark. looking at the pics on this forum it seems my fuse box is nearest the accel pedal and not on the left side. i did lay on my back and try to look up under the dash but there is no way i could get to the locking nut. any uk car tips/advice of adjusting would be great. my clutch just bites bout 2 inches to high. thanks again john Quote
martinmac Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Hi John, welcome to the forum. Get some pics of the car up when you have a chance. Someone will be along to answer you question soon. Quote
Chris`I Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I'll have a look at mine later to see why you are having troubles, but when I did my brake pedal I do remember there wasnt an aweful lot of room. I remember the locknut was quite hard to get moving, in the end I had to clamp the rod with some rag and pliers and then do the lock nut. 2" does sound like a lot though, I'm not sure you will get that much adjustment out of it. Is the clutch on its last legs? Sounds like it could be worn. Quote
angel350 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Posted May 5, 2009 to be honest the clutch feels fine. no slip, engages all gears cold and hot. slips nice when crawling just a bit high up. the actual pedal is bout 1 inch above the brake pedal height. so i would just like to drop it a bit. will get some pics up of car soon.

nixy Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Oh and its sunset by the way! Look forward to the pics! Quote
M13KYF Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 to the club. The clutch pedal being 1 inch higher than the brake pedal is unusual Quote
Maccaman Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Hi & to the forum. We are getting a nice new number of Sunsets Quote
Chris`I Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Been out to have a look and dont have a clue how you get the spanner to it! Looks very awkward compared to the brake pedal that I adjusted. Sorry cant be any help Quote

angel350 Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 yeah its right up the top of the dash once your on your back and looking up. just weird how on the instructions and other threads people say how easy it was and only took 15mins... Quote
