I want to know if someone has any DIY info on pulling out the pedal box??????

Which one ??...from R31 models onward the clutch and brake pedal boxes are actually separate items. Getting the clutch one out just requires unbolting the clutch master, then the whole pedal box comes out complete with pedal. OTOH the brake pedal box also supports the steering column and requires a fair bit more work to get out.

In the R32, the clutch pedal box has a bolt near the top. You need to remove the instrument cluster to make access to the bolt a whole lot easier.

Then:

remove the split-pin from the pivot pin holding the clutch rod onto the pedal, and remove the pin.

Unbolt the clutch master cylinder - no need to actually remove it.

When you put it all back together, don't be a slack-arse (like someone I know) - put the split-pin back in the pivot pin.

I left mine in, i just used a socket extension to get up there to take it out, then a magnetic screwdriver to help get it in. (then swapped to socket to tighten)

Then:

remove the split-pin from the pivot pin holding the clutch rod onto the pedal, and remove the pin.

dont lose the split pin, as its easy to do like i did :lol: Just replace with a fresh one if you do...

If you want it easier just take out the lower dash part (section below the steering wheel), or if your feeling energetic take out the drivers seat as well, and make it damn easy.

I used some foam (or a pillow) on the foot sill to lean on instead....

hhmm

thanks heaps peeps >_<

just hope i dont fudge sumtin up in the process, and just hope it fixes my problem..

This should fix the problem i have with the clutch when pressed being loose because one of the brackets on the pivot arm being broken off hence the loose clutch, shuld be able to see it once i pull it out, is that correct.

soz for the novice replys, just dnt wanna stuff anything up...............

I have put manual pedals in mine ready for manual conversion in a couple of months (was bored :D).. I have written part of the guide for manual conversion.. email [email protected] and I'll send you photos and the text I've written on the pedals

its a bit of a fiddly bitch, but you should be able to work it out.

You shouldn't need to pull anything out.. the bolt up the top for the clutch pedal is where the old auto sensor box is (or whatever it is -- its white plastic box anyhow)

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
