Quote: You just need to buy the OEM sport pedals and install them. If you get the set for a 6MT you can use the clutch pedal to cover your e-brake pedal, but I believe it will need to be glued or screwed in. The rest of the pedals replace your stockers.

I can't see my Infiniti right now. but will it looks like a real 6MT floor with those pedals? or will it look silly cuz the "clutch"(e brake) is so seep rated from the brake pedal?

No, it wont actually look like a 6MT, are you actually trying to trick people into thinking it is? It is a nice aesthetic upgrade though.

IIRC, you need parts from both a 5AT and 6MT Z, the e brake pedal comes from the clutch of a 6MT and the brake comes from the brake of the 5AT.

You can silicone the holes just to be sure, if the holes are painted they won't rust but id be worried About water getting in through them. The silicone will stop that potential.
Cheap insurance and it won't wreck anything.

yes. I have the shift boot and a 6MT shift ****.
while in park, it looks like my car is in Third gear when in park.
I have fooled a few people. well I have fooled everybody who doesn't know me lol.
so a clutch pedal from a z 6mT which will go on my e brake. and the brake pedal from the AT z which will go on my current brake pedal.
by pedals you meant pedal cover right?

I've also encountered the problem of the reverse light flashing while going into park. I was going to just re wire it to a toggle switch but that's just another hassle.
I just saw some pics of a 6mt g35 and an AT one. the e brake pedal is way to far to even look like a clutch pedal.
only way is to cut my brake pedal a little shorter, get a clutch pedal from a z or g35, weld a 3-4" flat bar on it, cut my current e brake pedal off, and weld the new pedal on the current e brake pedal. or bolt it on. is it hard to remove the e brake pedal? it'd be a nicer weld if the pedal was in my hands.
I will do this^^^

No idea why you want to be such a poser but w/e. Be proud of who you are and what you have and you'll be a lot happier than some wannabe dude.

Im speechless, you are trying way too hard. If you are this embarrassed to have a 5AT, why didnt you just buy a 6MT?

WIRING IN A TOGGLE SWITCH!? Why do you insist on bandaid solutions?

I was going to suggest chopping and welding up your pedals, as a joke. Cant believe you are actually considering doing it.

Also, consider that your car will be harder to drive after. In a 6MT, the clutch is close because you are constantly using it. Do you constantly use your ebrake?

Not to mention, if you do that you will be causing weird torques on that pedal that it wasnt designed for. Youll be applying a force that will try to rotate the pedal instead of push it down when you use it.

Dude don't do that this isn't a rice boy civic club. Even civic guys would think you're insane to do that, makes no sense at all.

Looking to replace the Vehicle Speed Sensor on my 2003 Sedan and I cant seem to find the specific part anywhere.

Is the Coupe part the same item number?

If not, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

it does seem like a lot of work. remove the pedal. cut it and find a welder.
I use the car in too much city driving for me to have gotten a MT.
I had planned when I got another nice car, to trade this one for a MT and just keep it yo minimal use, till then I'll have to keep it
