I can confirm that the 33 GTST clutch pedal and brake pedal works just fine in my R34 sedan.


However I don't love the R34 Auto accelerator pedal, it sits signifigantly lower than the brake pedal does by default. I suspect (dont know this for sure, maybe its all skylines?) that the auto accelerator pedal sits lower to be where the auto brake pedal is.

With the mismatched height, heel-toe'ing is quite difficult unless you are REALLY hard on the brake to the point where you can blip the throttle. Any other time the accelerator pedal is out of reach. Thats about the only thing to consider. May not even be conversion specific but I've always wondered.

Pretty normal to have accelerator lower than brake, although the brake and clutch pedal height are somewhat adjustable by lengthening the rod into the master cylinder.  Generally heal/toeing is more a motorsport technique, and if you are racing and on the brakes, you better be on them hard :) 

For daily driving it's easier on the box/synchros to shift slower and let the revs match while in neutral. Unless you are having fun of course :)

Oh I totally get this, and at the track there is very rarely "subtle" braking when you need to shift down multiple gears at the same time. 

It struck me as odd, because the pedal heights for other sporty cars (MX5's, RenaultSport Meganes etc) have far closer pedal heights and you can heel toe in them remarkably easily. To do it in my car at least you are almost going through the windshield while attempting to reach the accelerator pedal at all.... which made me wonder if this is a Manual conversion thing or not.

By "Barely touching" I mean they actually are only level when the brake pedal is pushed to maximum travel down (i.e 100% braking force). That is the height of the accelerator pedal in my car in my application, which I found quite odd unless Nissan really did make the pedal box for group A racing lol

I can't speak for R34 conversions, but my auto to manual converted R32 has no difference between auto and manual brake pedal height (ie, comparing my now manual pedal in an auto chassis vs a manual pedal that was always in another manual car). And it is an excellent height for heel & toe, subject to the caveat that I am old school and use the "roll the foot sideways and press throttle with side of foot" technique and not the "swivel the foot on the ball and press the throttle with the flat of the heel".

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
