imo the auto brake pedal is too big, I drove my friend's civic it was easier accleating becuase the brakes & acclerator is spaced apart more. When I wear my big shoes (... not that big like size 11 nike) my feet always hit(touch) the brake pedal or the ecu cover when I try to acclerate its very annoying. Can I cut it??? hehe

No. It is Nissan's way of punishing you for buying an automatic.

you can put a smaller brake pedal on, but it's a lot of work and not worth the hassle IMHO. But, if you really want to do it, do like gepetto said and look at harolds instructions for the pedal swap. Just be warned that it requires pulling apart your dash, lowering your steering wheel, and good luck if you have big hands, getting that brake cylinder bolt out is a biatch!
