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.

Thanks Kenchan! :bowrofl::bowrofl:

+1 rep :tup:

I'm gonna order the gas pedal assembly now :p

thanks, hope it helps. :tup:

Part numbers???

thanks.

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.

hope this helps. :) it was like $300 total.

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.

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

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?

Press the tab and pull it out. Very simple

awesome!

thanks, got these in the mail last week and finally got around to installing them Sunday night. very easy very quick.

i'll post up some pics. but you've seen what the transformation looks like. really does complete the look!

thanks for the help with this!

Nice! Yeah the pedals def do complement the car:tup:

:tup::tup::tup:

this is a nice mod for sure. :p

Nissan should it add them to the Sport package too.

i just did this today, it was cake, really really easy. thanks for the write up!

np! looks finished/complete now, doesn't it? :D :)

I have the SP and I just noticed I have these pedals, base coupe otherwise

sure does!
WTF?!

Just did my pedals!! Thanks for this thread!

np! :D

Looks nice. But too expensive to do.

gotta pay to play, tongman! :D ;)

Wow these are much more expensive than I'd like to pay......but I envy those that have the pedals :-)

yah, they aren't cheap but if you like the style it's great. :)

modshack has aftermarket ones that he designed with the manufacturer if you want to check those out. much cheaper than the OEM's.

Yep, I have those pedals, highly recommended. I have the grid design. You can see photos at SRP Racing - Custom Aluminum Racing Pedals

yep, i just like the OEM pedals. :p

http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/w...4/e8ecaec8.jpg first of all the brake/clutch pedals are very difficult to install, my fingers are def not happy right now, lol They do not just "snap on" as others have said, to help others out I have found the easiest way of doing these: spray a tiny bit of wd-40 on the inside of the bottom of the pedal, then take a blow dryer & heat the back of the pedal for about a minute, doing so let's the rubber expand and is easier to stretch. Then put the top part on first, then with both hands pull either side of the pedal backing as hard as you can while trying to stretch it over the bottom. Hopefully after a few tries it snaps on for you, hope this helps others. Also you may need to re-heat the rubber if it cools off.

hahahaha, it's not difficult NY John. just wrap it over. :p

It was difficult cus you had to really stretch that pedal, I had to heat it up to be able to put it on.

Kenchan, thanks for the DIY! I just took mine off yesterday, and it was easy as pie!

I have to wait for the person selling me his to mail them to me. It's complicated. But I'll be looking at this thread again when I get the touring pedals in the mail. :D

hey no prob! glad i could help. :tup:

yea what a fucker, i bet he is going to mail you a dead hamster instead of touring pedals

just used the DIY to install shado's base pedals in my Z so i can install the SRP pedals. Rep for you kenchan :tup:

I really don't want to fork over $80 for the clutch and brake pedal covers plus another $132 for the accelerator. Are there any other options or choices other than the ones that Modshack has. I would rather not have to drill into the pedals.

I think you're probably going to have problems installing different pedals without drilling.
I bought pedals from Autovation (link below) for my 350 and paid just a little over $100 for gas, brake, clutch and dead pedal. I found a 35% coupon when I bought them.

Nissan 370Z

I don't condone 5 finger discount, but that is always an option LOL.

i dont like adding unnecessary thickness to the pedals unless i want one of the pedals closer to me... so i prefer the factory oem pedal covers. :)

i suppose if the Z had telescopic steering wheel drilling type might be an option but for me this is the way the Z shouldve look from the factory.

I did notice a clutch pedal off a mustang was VERY similar to the Z one. If anyone wants, I can take pics...

How do u reset the car if its a manual? I just swapped pedals and did the procedure and my car wont start

my car is MT. no issue initializing the new pedal when installed it a few yrs back.
