For AT one, it is not easy to get the acc. padel off, and you gotta heat up the new break padel's rubber first in order to install it. It took me about 45-1hour. (was fun, except the break padel...)

I just used water and a small screw driver to install the brake pedal. Its not hard, you just have to be patient and start at one corner and work your way around.

I also installed the E-brake aluminum replacement. I had to cut away the lip on the new pedal and glued it to the existing ebrake cover. The glue I used was awesome (forget the name). No way it will ever come off. You cannot tell it was glued on. Rather it looks like it came from the factory that way. Again, piece of cake to do.

I like the look of the complete set

How about driving with these pedals? I would think you shoes would be much more likely to slip off the pedels. Is that the case?

I thought the same thing at first but the opposite is true. The rubber nubs grip the bottom of your shoe (on the clutch and brake pedal anyways). My clutch action has improved now that my feet don't move around on the pedal. Just my $0.02

Ah, you buy the 'Grubbs pedals' from Grubbs of course!
Linky

Any dealer can get them, but may be higher cost.

Hi

I was reading that u have to take off the rubber ones to install the alumunium ones -- does it not sit on top of the rubber ones.

Thanks

The pedals are also avail. at Performance Nissan for $65+shipping. I installed them this past weekend (fairly easy). This post was a big help. A hair dryer to heat up the rubber on the new brake pedal worked really well. The oem accelerator pedal was tough to get the clip off, but installing the new one was easy. It looks nicer - a minimum of 5 whp difference (j/k).

It is important to realise that these pedals are NOT Grubb's pedals... they are OEM pedals made by Nissan and as such are designed to fit as good as the stock rubber ones.

I would be more concerned about installing aftermarket parts such as Momo or Razo

Time to install -- about 20-30 minutes depending on how well you can contort your body. I used a silicone grease on the metal plates and the new pedals slipped on very easily.

I just bought the grubbs pedals -- there is no instruction manual and the break and clutch ones are the same, so either can be fixed in any of the places -- also do they just fit in without any screws other than the foot rest one

Can anyone reply asap as i am fixing them 2morrow

Thanks

See posts above for instructions, especially #15 that has a link to a nice set of directions. I have not done this.

Is there a rep here from EVERYTHINGG35?

I ordered the 5AT (see below) ........but received the 6MT instead. I have the clutch pedal cover instead of the emergency brake pedal cover. Is the a diff. between the 2 sets? Should I have the ebrake cover instead of the clutch pedal cover?

ALUMPEDAT Factory Aluminum Pedal Kit 1 $73.50 $73.50
(Sedan/Coupe) / Transmission:
Automatic

I have sent two (2) emails to EVERYTHINGG35 and have not receive a reply to my question???????

Anyone know whether these kits reduce the distance (vertical and horizontal) between the accelerator and brake on a 6MT car?

I'm hoping that one of these kits will make it easier to do toe-heel.

There is no emergency brake cover - it is the clutch cover. You can glue or install with a screw.
