So my brake and clutch pedals on my 02 have see better days and i want to replace them. I really dont want those crappy pedals everyone puts on top of the stocks. I want to replace them with OEM pedals but i can find them anywhere. Does anyone know where i can find OEM aluminum pedals

 

Get the crossdrilled ones from Nismo or Courtesy Nissan they slip over just like the Oem rubber pedal covers do. I've had mine 9 yrs now, in my 2000 and now In the 2003 along with the modified dead pedal. These aren't screwed to the pedal like that cheap a$$ ****...they slip onto the actual pedal and never ever seem to wear down!

 

are these the OEM drilled aluminum pedals? my pedals look like the 350z pedals

 

It's for 350Z but fit all Nissans...It's not screwed on it fits on like the regular rubber pads, with an aluminum face and the holes have a plastic/ hard rubber grip stud that prevents your foot from slipping.... I've had mine for 9 yrs no problems!

sick ordering them now thanks for the info

 

Search thru the Courtesy site there's a gas pedal, dead pedal, clutch, M/t brake and A/t brake pedals available best quality aftermarket I've ever bought!

 

CMax, I don't see the studs you're referring to. The holes look recessed, not raised. Here's the Courtesy Image:



So are you sure about that?

Also (and this is probably a redundant question for the org), are these the pedal covers that come with the HLSD 6MT? I don't have the LSD. So sad.

 

Those are the pedals that I have.

I also have a HLSD. (2002 SE)

 

sure looks like mine

 

"studs", hotshot?

I've never seen these up close except in these pictures, and I don't see the studs cmax is referring to.

 

i'll snap a shot of mine and postem up

 

They're raised. The plastic/rubber comes up slightly through the holes. On the brake and clutch only though. On the gas pedal they're just empty holes.

edit: I believe these pedals are also found on the AE 2001 Maxima.

 

Thanks for the details, DJ.

Nice! Looking forward to the pics.

I've been looking for an inexpensive thing to do with the car while I'm backordered on spacers.

 

You can't see how the plastic comes thru the holes and acts as an anti-slip, I will have too take a side profile of my pedals.

 

yep.. mine are raised... they're pretty worn down though..

 

not sure if this helps or not..

 

Well, I'm not the OP, but this is certainly a welcome bit of information for me.

I like it. And now I want it. Hmm... where'd I put that upgrades list...?

Thanks, Hotshot. Very decent of you to take that photo.

 

not a problem

 

Good shot...HotShot!!! You beat me too it!

 

these pedals are the exact pedals that come on the 5.5 gen just listed for 350z but its the same part # for the maxima and 350z

 

I'm definitely grabbing a set of these!

 

Thanks for that link, CMax03. I have a pair of these brake/clutch pedal pads arriving this week from Courtesy.

But what about that accelerator pedal? That looks more like a replacement part than a slip-on.

 

They have just the gas pedal pad search your year max and then search pedals in second window. I too want these how do they attach. I have a 02 max auto and want the brake and gas pedal can I buy these parts and just snap them on

That first link appears to the same pedal used in the 5.5 HLSD Maxima. Thanks for finding that, nismowolfe!

Has anyone replaced this accelerator pedal and have any comments on the installation?

 

No problem hopefully someone can shed some light on the gas pedal. It would be nice if this would just snap on or something instead of buying the whole pedal assembly.

 

looking at the pic i took and the pic in the link, looks to me like it should just snap right on

 

The gas pedal is a replacement part. It does not just snap in. It's the entire accelerator assembly. Installation is equally as easy as the brake/clutch. Few nuts, disconnect the cable, then reinstall the new one. The brake and clutch are a pain because you really have to pry them on/off.

 

Just to confirm, they do sell both the pedal and the whole assembly, so I could not just buy the pedal and put it on my existing pedal assembly correct? There is a difference between the two pedal assemblies?

 

I've never seen JUST the pedal...post a link.

 

I did post #23 ones a brake pedal the other one is a gas pedal

 

Well, it sure looks like Courtesy is just selling the pedal, without the rest of the accelerator assembly.

 

Cool, looks like they are. Makes things easier and cheaper.

They weren't selling them alone 6 years ago when I bought em

 

Did you swap it out for looks, or feel?

I'm thinking with your suspension installs and all, you get access to lots of Maximas. Do you have any impressions on the aluminum pad vs. the rubber one?

 

I did it all for looks.

Ya, I do

Not really - I drive an autotragic.

 

Does anyone have any impressions on the aluminum accelerator pad vs. the rubber one?

Appearance aside, I'm more interested in feel. I mean, if I don't like the way these clutch & brake pads feel underfoot, I'm putting the rubber ones right back on, no matter how good the aluminum shod ones look. You know what I mean?

Priorities, man... functionality, form, bling. In that order.

 

I suppose. I didn't feel a difference between the two. The brake pedal still has rubber pads on them to prevent slippage.

 

Yes, they do, but instead of a grooved, rubber surface, they're rubber nubs. (Good God, I just wrote the words "rubber nubs".) I'm assuming improved grip with the nub design (again with the nubs), than you would with the other pads.

Conversely, I'm assuming the all-aluminum surface on this accelerator pad would be a more sensitive feel than the grooved rubber surface of the non-HLSD pad. Here you don't want confident force (like the brake or clutch), instead you want finesse.

You might think I'm over-analyzing this crap too much, but I refuse to think the design motivation for "sport" pedals was appearance over function.

 

I do, but I hear ya, makes sense.

 

It's all theoretical for me at the moment.

I'll post something more empirical after I get the brake & clutch pads.

 

The brake and clutch pedal pads showed up tonight from Courtesy Nissan.

Taking the old ones off was simple; requiring only a little force on one corner, then twist and slip off. However, putting the new ones on was not easy. After struggling for a few minutes, I tried using a small flathead screwdriver to help. And although it did help, it didn't do the trick. You can see from the picture below of the backside how thick the rubber is.



Finally, I applied a little WD-40 to the pad. Starting from the top, I worked the top 2 corners on. Then, to get the bottom of the pad over the pedal, you just have to be steady and firm, slowly pushing to the edges from the front of the pad. It's like you're giving the pedal a seriously strong massage, and after a while it will fully seat.

I know that sounds dumb, but it's apt.

I haven't driven with them yet, but damn... they look good!
