After Ken posted the link to the new Maxima accessories, I purchased the A/T aluminum pedal package, which contains the accelerator, brake and dead pedals.

Installing the brake was a cinch. However, I haven't a clue as to how the other two replacements are to be installed, as the accelerator appears to be tailored for a vehicle with the L-shaped bar, and the dead pedal ... well, I don't know what the hell to do with it.

Does anybody here know of any instructions, or has anybody replaced the pedals on their '04? I'm trying to figure out if I need to send these back and pursue another option.

For what it's worth, they look real swank ... just not sitting in the box they were shipped in, stuffed in the backseat.

have you called the place you bought it from, that is where I would start... they are probably the same as the 5th gens, and they said they would work to move them out the door

Yeah, I e-mailed Ken, and he's not too sure. He said there were no instructions for such items, and recommended that I come here for an answer.

That is lame. I would email him back and let him know that the only thing you will do here is tell people how poor the service is at that place.

What a crock of ****, they need to support what they sell. If they claim it works with an 04, lets see them prove it.

They just guaranteed that I won't buy anything there.

Well, I don't want to crack down too hard on them. I mean, they're pedals, not supremely necessary equipment.

Still, you are correct -- it's frustrating to purchase something and experience this. Honestly, I'm tempted to just pack 'em up and ship 'em back with a note explaining that I really don't think these are made for the 2004 Maxima at all, and that it'd be super nice if they'd find a supplier that printed actual directions. I'm not a complete moron, so when I say that I can't figure out how two of these three pedals are supposed to work, I mean it.

I would, and let them know that you voiced your concerns here so they know that we all know

I have a 2003 and have the AE pedals and the 350Z dead pedal. I am pretty sure they just sent you the 5th gen pedals. They shouldn't have because the floor of the 6th gen is different which would affect the usability of the 350Z dead pedal they sent you. We have to saw off the majority of the black plastic base to make the pedal usable on the 5th gen anyways. The 350Z has a flat floor where the 5th and 6th gen have a raised floor with a built in foot rest. Also the 5th gen accelerator uses a long metal rod with a separate pedal that attaches to the rod using a back clip. The 6th gen has a one piece plastic accelerator rod with a pedal that is not removable. I would send it back, ask for your money back and don't let them charge you a stupid restocking fee. They need to know what models are compatible with the things they are selling!

Thanks, nismaniac!

This sounds precisely like what has happened. And I absolutely will keep them from charging the restock fee -- their inability to send me the compatible parts I requested is not my problem. The package in question is erroneously included on the 2004 accessories page.

Consider my pedals packaged, man. The feedback is much appreciated!
