Accelerator pedal

coley40 · 01-17-2011, 05:25 PM

Hi,

Just run in the car and starting to have some fun !

Noticed tonight when I use full throttle that the last tenth of travel of the accelerator pedal that it become stiff / resistance until it reaches full throttle. Never noticed it before but only just started using full throttle. Had a close look but cannot see anything missing or hindering its travel ?

Has anybody else noticed this ? Is it normal or am I going to have to take it back to the garage.

Anybody got photos of the accelerator assembly or details/instructions of how to removeto remove the assembly ?

Advice and comments would be much appreciated.

cheers

Phil

yah, check the touring pedal on your base DIY i posted in the DIY section.

on my pedal i dont think there's any tension at the last half of the throw...

ok thanks, is your pedal action smooth for the full length of travel ?

cheers

it feels like its pressing a button ? similar to kickdown action / feel on a automatic pedal

oooh, that. mine has that too...though it might be because I have a AT

but my parents megane coupe is a MT and also has that button like feel at the end. Their GT-R has it too.

Our Z got no kick-down button.

Mine is smooth all the way down. It might be worth taking the throttle assembly off to get a closer look, only takes a few minutes.

his car probably came pre-wired for NAWWZ express...
