DIY: Installing Touring pedals on your Base
Here's a very simple how to... you will need to provide one zip-tie.
Tools i used were: 10mm socket Regular screw drivers (to remove bolt cover) Wire cutter (to cut zip-tie) Flash light Remove cover... i used a real fine tip regular screwdriver and a 5mm regular screw driver to pull this piece out. the clips are on the sides. Removed the two 10mm fasteners... Pull up the accelerator module. There is a hook on the back. - Blue circles: where the accelerator is hooked on the backside to the floor. - Green circle: harness you will unplug. - Purple circle: zip tie you will cut. (the accelerator module is flipped in this pict for explanation) Then install the new pedal module in reverse order. For the clutch and brake pedals... The factory one is just wrapped over the metal pedal so just pull it off. Here is a pict of the backside of the Touring pedals. When you mount onto the pedal on the car, mount the top area (blue) first, then the green areas. Just pry open the green areas with your fingers and wrap it over the pedal. some white release oil dust comes off the rubber but dont worry. it will wipe off. Afterwards I used my mirror tool to check that the backside was properly wrapped around the pedal. Before you start your engine, you need to reset the accelerator pedal. During this sequence do not touch your accelerator pedal. Turn ignition ON (dont start the car) wait at least 2 seconds Turn ignition OFF wait at least 10 seconds Turn ignition ON (dont start the car) wait at least 2 seconds Turn ignition OFF wait at least 10 seconds. That's it. very easy and now looks nice. took the car out for a spin. the gas pedal feels the same, but the brake and clutch pedals feel less bumpy vs the stock rubber covers so it is improved. i like it. it's a tad pricy but i think it's well worth it to complete the look. You can buy it through your dealer or online nissan shop of your choice. Last edited by kenchan; 11-28-2012 at 09:17 PM. Reason: grammar... |

i bought mine from the local dealer and they didn't write out the part number but i checked over at courtesyparts where dcrew first introduced them and they have listings there. just tell your dealer
that it's for the touring trim and they'll know what you're referring to. ACCELERATOR LEVER COMPLETE-ACCELERATOR,W/DRUM - 370Z (Z34) 2009+ 3.7L V6 (TOURING+T/ :: Nissan Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.com MT CLUTCH AND BRAKE PAD PEDAL :: Nissan Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.com hope this helps. it was like $300 total. |

I didn't realize these were touring pedals - since they come on my NISMO I assumed they also come on the base, like much of my interior

Funny you mention that, because back in when the 370z first launch there was a nice/huge difference between the website and the brochure on the base model. One listed the pedals were standard and the other said no aluminum pedals.

How does the clip for the harness work? I dont want to break the clip or pull the wire out by accident. do you press down on it or use a small screwdriver to pry it loose?
