$hitty dead pedall

Just wondering if anyone has found an aftermarket dead pedal. The metal pedals on the HLSD unit look great, and a real dead pedal to match the other pedals would be sweet. That flimsy piece of plastic has to go.

Re: hey, this might sound like a stupid question

the "dead" pedal is the pedal looking thing against the far left (driver's side) of the driver's foot well. It's called that because it's intended for you to rest your foot on. Hope this helps!

You can buy mine from the Nokya set, I am not going to install mine...it is new in the package...let me know.

I bought mine in the $29.00 shipped kit and can send it in the original box...it is the polished one and looks nice but I don't want the dead pedal.

I know it might be ricey, but is there a way to use the clutch\brake pedal covers from an M/T set on the large brake pedal for an A/T?

Just wait until the 350Z comes out, it will have the AE/HLSD pedals + a matching dead pedal. I have seen a pic around before, it really looks good.

$25? Hey! I want my $5 back!

j/k...they look great. And they don't have any crappy decals that wear off in a month. WELL worth the $30, especially since they include the impossible to find dead pedal. Plus the dead pedal fits perfectly, not like the crappy APC one that is wayyy too wide.

Were they made specifically for the max? Do you have to do any modifications to install them? Just wondering, because if it involves a lot of that to install, I'll just get the AE pedals from custommaxima.com. Got pics of the pedals?

Thanks

There is no modding required, although I'd recommend putting one screw through the gas pedal because otherwise it moves around. Also, I stripped the hell out of the black screws that came with it, so I went to Home Depot and picked up some silver ones (same size) that match better for $3.00. The silver ones also have a little more grip on the head so I can torque the hell out of it.

Sounds like a pain, but the clamps are actually much better than the flexible bendy crap that come with Type R pedals. Very secure....... I looked at the AE's, but for $70? Ummmmmmm. I'll take my $25.....uh, I mean $30..... Nokya set any day of the week.

levoc makes one that matches better than the levoc. i have the nokya set, and they look great, but the levoc dead pedal matches the stock hlsd pedals much better.

I guess I'll buy the Nokya since you guys are saying how good it is. What does hlsd mean?

You said that you have to put a screw through the gas pedal or it moves? Do you mean you have to drill a hole in the gas pedal?

Thanks

Helical Limited Slip Differental. You don't have it.

Yes. I pounded a bolt all the way through and tightened it with a wingnut on the backside. I would highly recommend this AND getting better screws (silver)- Home Depot.

Also, you will need to pop three screws through the dead pedal, which is a piece of cake.
