Hey nice timing, im looking to get the second set you got listed there, does anyone know a good shop to get em from and a rough cost, i asked my uncle who does rego inspections, he said he'd pass any aftermarket pedal as long as it has sufficient grip (meaning enough rubber to keep your feet on the bastards) and its not too over the top (sorry goth skyline drivers, no spiked pedals :P ).

yeah i had crappy ones in my astina and the grip mpart was just regular hard plastic, VERY slippery but 9i believe the momo use a proper rubber which squishes and gives grip like it shoul;d, but they also cost like $150 :P are they easy to fit ? as the ones in my astina fit on the bbrake and clutch but the accelerator just didnt want to go on

Here are the ADR regulations. So basically, as long as they are "non slip" and not just bare metal they should be fine. Most of them just bolt to the existing pedals..so is a DIY job.

SECTION K - Other Items  

Driving Controls  

All driving control pedal faces must have an effective non-slip surface or be covered with a non-slip material. All essential driving controls must function properly. Steering wheel rims, knobs and other devices which have deteriorated to an extent that they are hazardous are unacceptable. Steering wheel covers, if fitted, must be secure

yeah i heard drilled pedals are no good, but u can get same effect by having black rubber, looking like the black holes that would normally be there with the drilled pedals. It's even hard to tell from the above photo with it's rubber, or just a drilled hole.

Well, I finally decided to go japan instead of italian... got enuf italian on the knob & steering wheel ;-)

I'm sure the clutch & brakes are ok as they got big chunks of rubber so they won't slip. Not sure about the accelerator as its bare metal.. I remember I've driven a car with metal accelerator, so I guess it's fine?

In my opinion accelerator does not have to be non-slip, as the crucial part are brakes (your foot slip and you wont stop in time and hit something) and clutch (your foot slip while you're in gear then car jumps forward and hit something).... but if your foot slips the accelerator, you slow down.

It's a clip on, so if I get done I can easily take it off with two fingers...

As I said I have driven a car with bare metal accelerator pedal, so I'm very sure bare metal is fine with accelerator. I think it was my first car here a 93 CE Lancer which I took it for RWC myself and the bare accelerator pedal pass inspection. Only clutch and brake pedal need the rubber replaced.

I've been pulled over by some nice cops (well if they were nice they wouldn't have pulled me over in the first place), and they told me as far as they know, only the brake has to have rubber on it

he was nice as he let me off having shiny metal aftermarket pedals with GTR printed on them, and I was driving with no shoes coz they were too big and too hard to change gears with lol

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
