Genuine R34 Gtr V-spec 2 Aluminium Pedal Group Buy!


Recommended Posts

The accelerator pedal needs the clip at the back removed. Also on mine I found I had to cut off the metal backing plate on the factory accelerator pedal and also had to drill out the bush a bit larger. Might be different on a R32/R34.

had to do the same thing with my 34. getting the metal backing off was a bitch, and yeh had to drill out the bush...

Also had to do both of those with my stagea, I got the metal plate off by just cutting through the two welds holding it onto the accelerator using a dremel, made it pretty easy.

Yeah cutting through the welds was the easiest way. I just removed the whole pedal assembely out of the car to make it easier.

Thanks for the tips, i've got them all on apart from the accelerator now. I'll pull the assembly off to make it easier.

All done, although im thinking of putting some black plastic or something underneath the accelerator pedal, so that you cant see through the holes. Not sure whether I will do that or not though.

If any one wants to buy my set for $160 delivered let me know.

hey phil,

are you interested in selling me just the footrest? Unfortunately I already bought all the pedals prior to your gb- just missing the footrest.

cheers.

p.s. in case you got a few PMs from me saying the same thing, sorry but PMs don't seem to be working and I didnt know if they went through or not.

The metal backing on the accelerator that you guys are referring to, is that rectangular piece?

So it isn't necessary to have that to hold the accelerator pedal securely? It will sit ok without it?

    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
