Solution for aluminum touring pedals for base model 370z.
 

Note: I posted this in another thread but thought this information would be more accessible here.

I contact Courtesy Nissan about the aluminum pedals and received the following information.

You can get the pedal pads for the clutch pedal and the brake pedal, in fact
they use the same pad. The footrest is the same on both models. However, the accelerator pedal has to be replaced as a whole.

-------Q157431-------
PAD PEDAL $77.60
PAD PEDAL $77.60
ACCEL-LEVER $130.17
---------------------
Ground shipping $9.85
Total $295.22

After replacing the accelerator pedal you must complete a "Accelerator Pedal
Released Position Learning" procedure.

----------------------------------------
Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning is a function of ECM to learn the
fully released position of the accelerator pedal by monitoring the accelerator
pedal position sensor output signal. It must be performed each time the
harness connector of the accelerator pedal position sensor or ECM is
disconnected.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL RELEASED POSITION LEARNING :

1.START
1. Make sure that accelerator pedal is fully released.
2. Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 2 seconds.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 2 seconds.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

Good find. :tup:

Too bad they are so unattractive to begin with (and expensive to boot).
Look like something out of a mid 60's Oldsmobile..

Ultimate pedals (real, solid aluminum, Doh) has a set available now..and it looks like SRP (see post 9 below) has some nice stuff also.

Link?

Huh?...OK!

You'll have to call them apparently as the 370 size is not up on the site..

http://www.ultimatepedals.com/

:icon08:

Ah, that is why I was asking for a link. I have checked and never saw anything on their site about the 370z. Good to know we can call, thanks.

It's good to know we can call them up but I'd still rather be able to see some pictures as well as options on the website before I make an informed purchase.

For now I'm leaning towards purchasing the replacement covers from courtesyparts.com

??..Did you even go to the site?? Look at the G35....How different could it be? All the info is there..


Pedals are not rocket science. There's some really nice stuff out there for less $$ than the Nissan "trimmed" ones.

I did go to the site. So far they're all a variation of drilled holes with the option for domed inserts.

I'm just more a fan of the touring model pedals. I agree though, they are overpriced.

A little searching turned up this outfit (Link below). I'm thinking something like these for $155 with grid pattern and dead pedal options...:tup:
I can make em fit, in fact I want to change the dead pedal angle anyway.! (the Porsche models will accommodate our large, flat gas pedals)
These look like a simple bolt-on.

Cheaper and nicer looking than the Ultimate pedals.

:tup: ^^^^^ nice find modshack.... those pedals are awesome... +1 rep.... btw woulld they be hard to clean though? the grid pattern looks like dirt will get in the crevices....

Hey thanks!....Yeah, I think I'm going to order these...Just need my buddy to measure his 911 gas pedal, though ours looks huge and flat just like this one. Any minor difference in the pedal curvatures I can deal with.

On cleaning? Just a stiff bristled brush I'd guess, but it's rare for me to get into the car with dirty shoes..

I'll do a DIY when I get these in..

considering everything else on my car is stock (well, other than the HU) i think i want to get the factory one even if it costs too much. :D

Your money, your car....:tup:

Personally, when I do a mod I like to look at it as an upgrade, aesthetically and functionally, not the status quo.. I feel my aluminum trimmed dead pedal is one of the cheesiest parts on the interior. More of the same has no interest to me.

Everybody's different here..

:tup: awesome dood ill be waiting for ur update on this...

I've been in PM and email contact with SRP this afternoon...We'll be talking Monday about fine tunng these for a perfect fit....:tup:

yah, but those aftermarket ones look like biscuits or something... :yum:

;)

you're still going to be screwing on the metal over the plastic gas pedal housing, correct? that will place your pedal closer to you (not sure if that's an issue for you but functionally it will be for me as i have long legs vs short arms). :tup:

i still think the factory one looks better. :)

Agreed! :tup:

I went ahead and ordered the touring brake and clutch pedals. Didn't order the gas pedal assembly yet. I'll update pics whenever I get them in.

sounds good. did they give you a date when they can ship them? are they in-stock? :)

Update on the SRP pedals:

I have patterned both the throttle, pedals and foot rest and forwarded this to SRP. They are going to custom Cad Cam a set for me to test fit and add them to their catalog if it all goes as planned...Expect something very soon on these..:tup:

dang, modshack. good job. so how long does SRP usually take to do these new designs? days or weeks? :) guess ill take a look before making a decision.

btw, can they make the gas pedal like 3mm thick? thinner the better.

I have been trying to get Ultimatepedals to make a set since I got the car 8 months ago. They are only 30 min. away and I even said I would do most of the work, abut they just do not seem to care.

I had a long chat with the owner today...I got the impression it wouldn't take long at all. He insisted that they do a custom template off my patterns, even if a minor change from their existing offerings like the Porsche pedals, which I think would be right on the money. It's all Cad-Cam, so drawing to finished product is hours, not weeks. He also noticed my heel pad (which he manufacturers), and suggested that we could pattern one precisely to the rubber mat area of the floormats. Based on this, I suspect having a thin Gas pedal done would not be an issue. They seem to be very willing to work on custom and stock applications..

^^^^ im super excited for this one.... awesome man keep us posted.. :tup:

Yea good job ModShack - Looking forward to replacing my crappy stock ones :)

Yeah! These guys are a pleasure to work with and we'll get some precision fit pedals out of the deal....

SRP Racing - Custom Aluminum Racing Pedals

Just a little update...We are in the final Template stage. Order and dimensions confirmed and off to the CNC machine. Metal in hand soon!

http://images53.fotki.com/v1575/phot...MG_2083-vi.jpg

how about we ask bats to make a silver pedal overlay? ;) jk

:icon18: id rock that... shizzz... silver overlay i can see it now lol jus kidding...

BTW modshack wat kind of floor mats are those? really feeling that aluminum piece on the mat....:tup:

It's a heelpad...... I bought it from Moss Mini...Had on my Boxster, vette, and now the 370, Ironically, in my discussions with SRP, it turns out they are the maker of this (it's on their site).
They've expressed some interest in making one to exactly match the rubber section of the stock mat. After we get the pedals done, I'll do up a template for them..

http://images20.fotki.com/v360/photo...MG_1519-vi.jpg

Yes, they are in stock. Usually takes about just under 2 weeks to arrive.

thanks for the info. :tiphat:

Update on the SRP pedals. Machine work done and they're in the mail to me...Should receive tomorrow or Saturday as they're just across the State in Charlotte. More when I do the install!

Here they are:

http://images41.fotki.com/v1580/phot.../pedals-vi.jpg

What's the price and is this a bolt on to existing? Please pm me.
Also..I am liking the mat too LOL

Let's have a group buy on it, maybe cheaper

SRP mentioned $99....Probably plus the grid finish treatment ($50), Simple bolt on after drilling a few holes.

Their heelgaurds are $59.. http://www.srpracing.com/pd-heel-guards.cfm

wow that is ironic.... haha were lucky that they are the maker though :tup:

^^^^ my page just refreshed after i post about the heel pad lol DOOD!!! those pedals are sooo nice!!!! :eek2: cant wait for the installed pics!!! :tup:
