I really like how you used the polished screws to match your pedals. It looks like it belongs on a 30k car and not a civic.

I have finally installed mine. They look great. Thank you so much for you DIY post. It really made the install smoother.

thank for sharing,a good idea

Here is a picture of mine installed. Just received dead pedal today. What I did for the installation of the dead pedal was the following:

Used a trim panel removal tool (Garden weeder works too) to remove the captive washers off the back of the original dead pedal.

Then, I cut a piece of plastic from the top of one of those storage containers to use as a backer. You know those storage cantain tops that we all use for storing our spare parts. I had a black one. I shot some staples through it in four locations and pressed it onto the strofoam platform that the carpet and dead pedal will rest on.

Lastly, after putting the carpet back I located the dead pedal where I wanted it and drilled one pilot hole and installed one screw in the lower portion of the pedal. Checked for squareness and then drilled the next hole on the top portion. Finally, I drilled and screwed in the center screw. I only see the need for three screws.

I checked the quality of the dead pedal installation by using it multiple times to readjust myself in the drivers seat. Works great no slip or shift. If I notice slipping or shifting I will just replace the short screws with longer 1" screw later. I'm sure that will give it even more stability. I like the installe this way because I can pull back the carpet later if I need to like the factory set up.

I guess I should have taken pictures of that process but, I was in a bit of a hurry to get the pedal on and to the doctors at the time. Only took the pictures below after I got back this afternoon.

Just ordered a set of Man Trans Grip finish anodized black without the dead pedal, that extra $20 and 15 minutes was just too much for me :P Cant wait for them to arrive

What's the Secret?
 

I have now received a second bad brake pedal from Chip at RWCIS. It does not fit the car's original pedal. That's because it does not have enough of a curve--just like the first one he sent me--so if it's flush along the top of the car's pedal there is a 1/8" gap along the bottom (or vice-verse). I hope that makes sense.

So is there a secret to getting the correct pedal?

:mad:

Just ordered a pedal set from SRP with the dead pedal for my recently acquired 2011
370Z with auto.

Can't believe Nissan only used the aluminum trimmed pedal for dead pedal in base models, even with Sport pkg., although with no XM or bluetooth either I guess I'm not surprised. My wife's Hyundai Elantra has all that and heated seats... in a $19K car, and OEM aluminum pedals for her car were only $39 on ebay from Hyundai in Korea!

Got the satin finished set and 20% off total price with code "cadillacowners".

Didn't work

I just did it and it worked fine for me.

Make sure you select your SURFACE FINISH OPTIONS and then enter CADILLACOWNERS in coupon code box and then "apply".

Are you ordering from:
370Z Racing Pedals - 370Z Pedal Sets - 370Z Billet Pedals

No. Sorry for the confusion.

SRP Racing - Custom Aluminum Racing Pedals

Oh, damn. The website I posted has them for less unless you decide to go with a machined finish.

$119.99 with dead pedal from your link plus shipping.

Here's my totals:
- 1 X Surface Finish Options @ $0.00 = $0.00
- Pedal Design:MACHINED

Subtotal: $ 109.85
Shipping: $ 10.85
Tax: $ 0.00
Total Price: $ 90.05

^yeah, for machined it's better, not for grid or block

Figured I'd post this here. If you are planning on doing serious racing, I would HIGHLY recommend the OMP pedal set. This differs from the pedal sets others have posted on here in a few ways

1) The brake pedal has a guard on the right side so that your right foot cannot slip behind the brake pedal while coming off of the accelerator These are the only pedals I know of with this safety feature.


2) The brake and clutch pedals are non-slip, whereas the throttle has a smooth finish that makes it easier to slide onto the throttle.
3) The set is cheap
