I had awesome racing pedals in my last car, they were made specifically for the car and actually made a difference: They felt much better and I always noticed them (they looked great) on entering the car too which was nice.

I am after some racing pedals for my R32 GT-R. Any ideas? I have done asearch but couldn't find anything. And when I check out sites online they seem to sell a lot of different kinds of pedals but none of them sem to be specifically for the Skyline. Will all of these (Sparco, momo etc...) fit easily?

Well, I find the rubber ones TOO grippy at times (ie: you can't really re-position your foot on a pedal unless you raise it off the pedal 1st). I had aluminium ones with raised steel studs (I think they were illegal actually as there was no rubber on them at all) and they were great.

i also have razo metal ones, and think they r great (alittle close together gas and brake alittle close but u get use 2 it)

hehehe no such thing as too close, there's plenty of room down there for big feet....you just need to get used to it

Contary the best racing pedals are no pedals at all.

Anything that comes between your foot and the actual factory pedal further reduces feel.

Its the reason why racing shoes are made with thin soles so as to enhance feel.

So after market pedal caps (i call them those becos thats what they are...they do not actually replace the factory pedals) are actually a step back.

If pedal placement is a problem (i.e u find it hard to heel toe because the pedals are too far apart) then u can try bending the pedal stem to get the pedals to sit at the correct height and position you desire

usuckpoo: fair call. But the surface of the pedal does make a difference in feel. Steel/aluminium feels different through shoes than rubber does. And perhaps one of the major difference is visual appeal. Which IS important to some of us. As I mentioned above, when I used to hop in the Alfa, with my black Novitec pedals from Germany... I'd look at them upon entry.. they made me smile.

Ive got a metal studded brake pedal and some dodgy type r accelerator pedal. Its actually ok as it sits close to the brake, making it easy to do that cool heel and toe thingo, allbeit poorly.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
