trim pedals? where??
 

just picked up my blck,m/t,sports package. It didn't have the aluminum trimmed pedals. I saw on the forum that its not the first time this has happend. I pointed it out to the sales manager. they are ordering me a set. just curious to know why this car didn't come with this standard feature like it should.

i never got the pedals either. Which is annoying, but I never really liked the ones on the touring, so I am trying to make my own.

Standard equipment list (Base + sport) makes no reference to aluminum or aluminum trimmed pedals (per window sticker). This comes on the Touring though. Sounds like you BS'd the salesmanager pretty well ...:tup:

LOL nice haha - any one know where i could pick up a set of nice pedals for the Z?

Nice, but not cheap, stuff here:

ULTIMATE PEDALS

ultimate pedals is not making them for the 370z yet. i have sent them 4-emails and asked if they need help with dimensions being as i am 30 min. away and i get nothing back.

Ultimatepedals does seem like a good option if/when they come out with something for us. A little pricey but it really seems like quality stuff.

I'd bet the Contours for the 350 and G35 are so close it wouldn't be an issue. Nothing a little Macgyver'ing couldn't solve..

I noticed that myself during my research.

Thought it was pretty STOOOPID that the Sports package doesn't include aluminum pedals. Not very "sporting" of them. :tiphat:

actually if you look on the nissan website under spec.. aluminum trimmed pedal are or should be included standard.http://h1.ripway.com/holycow88/370zaluminumpedals.bmp

I assume "aluminum trim" means aluminum along the outside rim of the pedals.

All-aluminum pedals is what we're looking for here. :)

I have been searching for racing pedals for a while as I would like to have easier hee-toe effort. I thought Ultimate Pedals would be great. However"

1. I called 5 times. Would you believe that they have no answering machine service? Gosh! I have not heard the 'busy tone' in 2 decades and was shocked that a company like Ultimate Pedals would actually not have such messaging system.

2. I emailed them. Guess what? No response.

3. Website looks decent, but that is the only plus I see so far.

i looked on the nissan website there is nothing on the website that says you get all- aluminum pedals in the touring package and there is nothing says that you dont... its very misleading... if it were me id argue and get it.

The site does include the "aluminum trimmed" pedals in the (text) list of extras that are included in the touring edition (equipment in addition to the Base equipment) so it is there for the Touring package. The Checiklist comparison has the pedals dotted for both models. This is obviously a mistake. People make them all the time when editing web page content.
Honestly, the pedals are a little goofy looking anyway. It is very easy to replace them with quality solid aluminum parts. I'm sure any universal set can be made to work just fine..

Easy enough to answer: those who bought the Z with the Touring package... does it come with aluminum pedals?

Yes.

:pics:

I am working right now but I will see what I can do later. They are aluminum trimmed as stated; the entire pedal is not aluminum. I assume yours are all black? They look just like these:

Mine indeed are all black... but that's because I have a Mustang! :)

No, unfortunately, a Z is not yet mine. But I lurk, trying to get a feel for the car before it is MINE, all MINE! BUHAHAHA!

I am patient.

Disappointing that there's not an "all-aluminum pedals" option. That would seem to be part and parcel of any "Sports package" worth its name.

Mine did (aluminum trimmed).

For the US spec models, all the nissan materials I've seen (including the brochure in my hand) state that only the Touring and Touring/Sport models get the aluminum trim pedals. Base and Base/Sport have standard all black rubber like pedals.

Every Touring I've seen in person had aluminum. And every non-Touring I've seen did not. I'm surprised this is even being debated.

Other countries are different. In Japan, the Sport models also get the aluminum trim pedals.

Anyone found a good source for aftermarket AL pedal, yet?

Update:

I just spoke with Ultimate Pedals. They now carry our pedals for our beloved Z:ughdance::ughdance:


Man, I can't wait to have 'easier' heel-toe sessions......I know, I know, I should have bought the SRM. :)

That's awesome. They haven't updated the website to reflect it yet but that's good news. I hope they offer one that looks like the touring model. :yum:

I told them the same thing about their website.


BTW, they said the pedals for the 370 are 'not' the same as the 350.

Yeah, I figured.

I called a local Nissan parts dealership asking about the trim and they said they couldn't sell the trim alone. The whole pedal assembly needs to be sold together.

I was quoted ~$390 for each pedal (clutch, brake, gas) = ~$1,560. I'm not gonna spend that much money for aluminum trim; not to mention installing the pedal assembly.

I guess the 350Z is a lot easier to install as opposed to the 370z which is probably why Nissan hasn't released a pedal trim kit yet as an accessory.

Hopefully Ultimate Pedals can make one that looks and fits like the 370z touring model editions. I guess we'll just have to wait and see :icon17:

Got my pedals from Ultimate Pedals.

The brake and clutch for the 350Z are what came; they did fit, though I would have preferred them to be a little bit bigger to cover the 'head' of the factory clutch and brake pedals. In any case, I am very happy.

I also ordered the wide gas pedal which is specific to the 370Z and for heel-toe use. I almost used double-sided tape to mount it as I did not want to drill. Why did I not want to drill: 1st, cosmetics, and 2nd looking for where the screws should be mounted was somewhat of a challenge.


Yeah, yeah, yeah.....this post is useless without pic's. I can't seem to find my camera, but I promise pics will be forthcoming.

I am jazzzzzzzzzzzeeeddd!!!!!!
