Yeah yeah, searched various sections. I'm sick of starting threads too...so just want concise answers please :)

my pedal bracket snapped, as they do. Now it's easily fixed up by frankenstein-style welding that shit - but I need to remove it. I'm not at all interested in dismantling my dash (at least not too much) so I want to know - has anyone removed it on a GTS-T without taking their dash out? Is it doable? I've heard speculation that the bracket itself is actually spot-welded onto the firewall as well as bolted in, true?

If anyone has pics of the standard pedal bracket out of the car, it would be much appreciated so I can see where the mounting points are :D

cheers

Easy as.

- Undo the 2 nuts on the master cylinder in the engine bay.

- Get a torch and pull the pin on the clutch cylinder rod.

- Unplug the clutch pedal switch

- Undo bolt pointing straight up hold pedal box.

Wiggle it out. Should take about about 30mins first time.

Its not a bitch, just a tight space. As the other guys have said its that easy. Once you've welded it back up, paint it silver then you can say it's a nismo unit. Cos thats all they do

I've found the final mounting point of the bracket. There is NO WAY you can undo it. It's up the very top of the bracket.

Unless there's something different about my pedal bracket, I call bullshit that anyone has ever done this with the dash in place.

I have, a few times. I use a 3/8 drive swivel socket, 12mm from memory. Got a kid nearby with skinny hands??

swivel socket = effectively a U-joint?

looking at pics of the "Nismo" replacement, I'll be using a long extension for the socket and going straight up IN FRONT of the pedal itself?

Something like that sucker, 3/8 drive rachet, 120mm extension and socket. Dunno why yours is being so difficult

ok all good mate, got it done.

Mine was so difficult because it took me forever to find that last bolt, and then because of how I discovered it I concluded it wasn't possible to get to.

Ended up just using the larger ratchet drive (since I don't have any small drive 12mm sockets) and a really long extension.

And it's back in. I must say, putting it back in was MILLIONS times more difficult than pulling it out. That bolt I was having trouble finding was a PRICK to get back in :(

Either way, she's welded up nicely (read: horribly. We used an arc welder - blew a few holes through the bracket rofl) and back in. Only downside is my battery went flat from having the door open all the time :(

Thanks for the help guys!

WOW I have never pulled out a clutch peddle befor and got it out in about 20 minutes, welded it up and back it took no longer than 1 hour. only 2 nuts, 1 bolt and a pin. super easy !! but I am a bike mechanic so it would be easier than if you have never really done this be for but very good to learn how to fix these small things rather than paying someone probably about $400 to fix it for you

Yes not that difficult, but I found breaking other items was the worst part, boot release for example.

So whenever I'm working on/under/around the dash, out come the front seats first thing.

Then unbolt the boot release as the handle is flimsy plastic and if you accidentally sit on it, she'll break.

Toss in a few bags of rags to lie on and I'm ready to go.

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
