My 33 came with Razo pedal covers from the dealer but I found myself blipping the accelerator when I was only trying to brake (not good!!) It was happening because the accelerator had this big triangular side that came out too close to the break. I ripped them out and now running with the stock pedals.

Two questions:

1) What brand(s), style of pedal covers have ppl got? names and/or links will suffice... but pics would be kool :rolleyes: Also, where to buy them? the local supercheap and autobarn don't have much choice. There's some on ebay but.. I'd like to be able to see more detailed pics/in real life before buying something like this.

2) My clutch pedal is set further back than the brake/accelerator pedals. If I'm seated so that I'm comfy for the brake/acc pedals then I sometimes can't clutch as easily/far as I'd like.. If i'm seated well for clutching, my legs cramp up after a while cos I'm too close to the brake/acc pedals. What can I do?

Your seating position shouldn't be dependant on where the pedals sit, it should be based on the distance where you can put your foot on the floor beneath the pedals and still have your leg bent a bit.

But that said, you can adjust the clutch position to make it more similar to the rest of the pedals.

The reason why some of them have bits that come out near the brake is to make "heel and toeing" easier.

I dont run aftermarket pedals. I find factory pedals good enough

try sitting abit closer, I adjust my seating position in relation to the clutch as your left leg is the one that will get tired as you often have to hold it on the floor, after a while you should get used to the new position..

midnight: Been driving the car two weeks now set up like so: I've based my seating position entirely on the clutch so I'm seated so that my leg is about 90-95% extended when I've got the clutch all the way in, as I don't believe I should have to stretch at all to fully clutch, just be comfortably extended. In this position my acc/brake legs are both half bent all the time (sux), much more than the clutch leg.

xRHETTx: Yeah @ heel, toe, I know.. I was just doing it unintentionally on ocassion. I figure having to reach a little further to accelerate on purpose to heel/toe is better than revving up by mistake and possibly jumping up someone's boot.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
