Trozzle Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 LOL I saw this thread and instantly thought "I don't remember putting a thread about it in here..." my post won't be all that much help to you since I've got R33 GTS-T, but exact same crap happened to me. Depending on where it's snapped, I'd recommend doing what I'll be doing this weekend and removing the bracket to have it welded up and reinforced where the break is.

flykickindustries Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Lol yeh apparently it's a pretty common problem. I seen reinforced nismo ones on eBay but I think they re just normal ones with a few spot welds to make it stronger. Either way mines beyond weldIng I reckon lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/375682-r32-clutch-pedal-bracket-snapped/#findComment-5992576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty nm35 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Yep, I re-welded one the other day and it just snapped again, probably best to fabricate a 6mm alloy one if there is nothing else around. Where are you located? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/375682-r32-clutch-pedal-bracket-snapped/#findComment-5993155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
flykickindustries Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Devo, Yeh the metal on the standard one is so thin it's ridiculous. I'm from Adelaide by the way Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/375682-r32-clutch-pedal-bracket-snapped/#findComment-5993993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_wolf Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) Mine is starting to crack too....just purchased a Nismo reinforced bracket from rhdjapan, more welds and thicker steel. Only 120 delivered so not too bad....being a mechanic I don't pay for labour in and out though....

Trozzle Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 mine didn't actually snap the metal itself, it broke on one of the welds from factory. I'm gonna go all Frankenstein on it though and weld bits of scrap metal to it making it stronger.

the_wolf Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Ahh k mine is cracking through the actual metal...not across or along any welds. Either way PITA job.
