[LongBeachCoupe]

Hey guys... mine are on their way.. so i dont have pics yet.. but these guys do FLUSH MOUNTED pedals... they will do custom sizes as well... http://www.autovation.com i emailed them and they sent me a coupon code for 35% off so the set came to $60 shipped... expensive, but a nice fit and a quality product...Take a look at this link to see the custom stuff they do... http://www.autovation.net/new/pedal_template.htm

Also... i was trying to get some Z wheels on the cheap... no go.. so im thinking of picking up RX8 wheels for the winter... simmilar look...

Wow........That is crazy.....when I started making pedals in 2002 that was exactly what I had people send me for custom jobs.........They stole my business plan

[LongBeachCoupe]

LongBeach: Did you get these pedals yet? I'd really like to see a pic...

[LongBeachCoupe]

I did... and although the seller ensured me they would fit the coupe... he was wrong... i stenciled our pedals and hes going to be making a new template for the coupe... i should have it shortly... (the brake on the coupe is small so screws didnt line up, and the gas is on a higher pitch than the sedan)

Anyways the seller has been really responsive and im not concerned...

As for the quality of the pedals, they are awesome. Lightweight alluminum, and the gas pedals holes are smooth, but the brake and the dead pedal have raised holes so your foot wont slide..

You know ill post pics once its done, i was hoping you guys would forget about it until then lol

Sounds like you are getting the Competition Series pedals. That is what I was considering too. I am just trying to be patient until they have a set that definitely fits the AC. (Thanks for being the guinea pig.) I could tell their current Altima pedals probably wouldn't fit since the dead pedal shape looks a lot different than what we have in the coupe:

The dead pedal is an exact fit... The brake sizing is ok, but the alignment of the screw holes is outside the shape of the actual pedal...

They will get it right... Yes i have the comp series, and the guy who turned me onto this company (a nico guy from another forum, i think he has a 240).. has had the comp ones for a while, and they get better looking when they get worn in.

What was the shape of the dead pedal they sent you? The AC seems to have a V shaped area for the dead pedal, but the ones they show online are more like upside down Vs or plain rectangles.

I am also considering the Insert series. My concern with the Comp series is that you will see the real pedal through the holes and it might not look right or possibly trap dirt in the holes. On the other hand I can't tell how smooth the inserts are from the tiny pics on their website, or if they might come off after use.

[LongBeachCoupe]

Yeah.. i didnt want to go with the insert because i thought it may fall out... and for the price i want it to be good forever... the dead pedal that they shipped is the same one in our car.. however you want to describe the shape lol

I wanted the newer 350Z wheels as well but was not able to get em cheap. My buddy had em on his S14 but it was stolen so there went my hopes LOL.

Those pedals are nice, but do you have to remove the rubber pedal covers to install? As for the rims, I picked up some 18" touring rims (the five spoke ones with recessed center) locally for $500 with 90% potenza's on them. Keep looking, they will show up.
