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. :tup: 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.

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.

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.

kenchan 10-28-2009 10:12 AM

ok, we shall now call them the NISMO pedals. :D

austex 11-15-2009 07:02 PM

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?

dcrew1x 11-15-2009 07:43 PM

Press the tab and pull it out. Very simple

austex 11-17-2009 04:18 PM
