Aftermarket / Non-Isuzu Pedal Compatability

Been thinking about upgrading my pedals for awhile now, but really wanted to find something close to the Isuzu JDM accessory pedals:

I used to have drilled aluminum 350Z pedals on my G35 coupe, and it turns out they look very similar:

So for those that have changed their pedals, how really different are they amongst manufacturers? Does anyone think these will fit "out of the box" or with just a few additional bits from Fastenal?

Thoughts much appreciated!

Those should work OK. Prolly better off drilling your own holes rather than trying to get theirs to line up. That way you can offset the brake pedal to the left to get more clearance for the skinny pedal (don't wanna be hitting both at the same time).

I think that there is a pic of mine in my gallery & that etlsport has a pic of his in his gallery.

Nada in your gallery, but found them in Eric's. Not seeing anybody who's done the dead pedal yet though...

Hate to say it by the JDM ones are much cooler.

How hard would they be to fabricate out of some heavy stainless?

Although I'd be a little afraid of wet slippery pedals.

If you get those, cut the "wings" off the brake pedal...you'll be glad you did.

I fabb'd my own, starting with these as my raw materials.

They are now MUCH smaller & less likely to be stomped at the same time.

I've had dead pedals for a few years, L because I like the way they look.
R (on the hump) to reduce carpet wear next to the "live" pedal...:yesgray:

Thanks for the tips! Here are pics of Ldub's setup for quick reference:

I actually like the cheap "ricer" clamp on pedals that I've been getting. The ones I get have the holes punched through from the back so they have good ridges to keep your feet from slipping. Great in snow and mud, just dont try to drive without shoes. Got them at one of the local big box parts stores.

You can see them in this pic..

I'll try to correct that shortcoming on my part.

Similar, but not matching...:smilewink

These are pics of my actual setup...

As stated earlier, those Bully pedals I started with have been dramatically downsized.

Since then, I've incorporated a diamond plate aluminium "heel plate" into the floor mat.

So the pics above aren't you? I pulled that pic straight out of your gallery - do those pedals belong to somebody else?

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to check that out. As long as they look nice I'm not snobby enough to turn them down just because they're off the shelf from Advance / AutoZone / PepBoys.

I don't think that pic is in my gallery, if you find it there (I can't) please shoot me a link to it...:thanx:

Hmmm... looks like you're right, I can't find it there. I have a feeling I clicked on a photo in your gallery, then saw that pic in the preview bar above, which apparently sometimes shows photos from other people's galleries as well. Sorry about that.

On a side note, I did find this in your gallery:

Those aren't the JDM pedals but they're the closest I've seen so far. Any idea who makes those, and if they're still in production?

Here are some that are close

Do a googy image search for "racing pedals", you'll see sump'n you like within the first 12,000 pages...:smilewink

Get creative...:yesgray:

I've been thinking of mixing some sand with two part epoxy resin, then applying it to a couple of these...

Then trimming to size & installing.

Between the waffle pattern & the sand, should provide excellent traction in most all conditions...:yesgray:

Unless I get hungry...:yes:

Meant to address the traction issue on the Nissan pedals. I never had a problem with the accelerator even though it doesn't have grip pads. Dub I wonder if it would be better to order the 6-speed pedals since the brake pedal is MUCH smaller. How large is the metal piece behind the rubber cover?

Notice the nice grippies on the manual pedals:

Here are the photos of mine.. should give you some idea of size of the metal piece.. I like the nice big brake pedal, I just cheated it way to the left so i didnt hit the gas accidentally

I like your style Eric...:yes:

It's good to see someone who has discovered the "magic" of 3M doublestick for mocking up & keeping stuff in just the right place while drilling the holes...:yesgray:

yep yep, does very nicely. i also just left it back there to prevent any sort of rattles or anything in the future.. since there are only two bolts to hold it in place
