ACTUALLY, smartass, there is some issues. I bought this years ago, when west covina first made them availiable. At that point, nobody had installed them yet, we just knew they were NISMO, reinforced, and looked pretty, haha. Anyways, i'm rebuilding my car from the wreck and it's time to swap it in, but after I got into it, found some issues.

The clutch pedal was made specifically for RHD cars, so few things are different. The overall bracket and mounting is still the same but:

On the US piece, the return spring is mounted about an inch lower than the pedal lever hinge.
On the NISMO piece, the spring mounting holes are about 3" away. At first I thought the width was wider on the NISMO piece, but looking again I think my eyes deceived me and it's the same width between spring mounting holes.

I'm not sure if the JDM pieces, or nismo-specific pieces have a lever with the spring hook/seat mounted in a lower position on the lever, or if it's supposed to use a much bigger spring.

Also, the NSS arm on the US lever hits the NISMO bracket about 1/2 way returned. I don't use a NSS with my 5spd swap, so I could get by with just cutting that arm off.

Now I think I can just, as said before, cut the NSS arm off, and then I think I could just drill the holes for the US spring in the same spot as the US bracket and utilize it that way, I just wanted to see if anyone had figured out the parts to put it in as designed... I'll snap some pics later of what i'm talking about.

We had a customer that kept popping the spot-welds that come on the stock clutch pedal bracket. We thought about ordering him the Nismo unit but realized beforehand it would be for RHD.

Instead, we reinforced his pedal by stich-welding the brackets (instead of the factory spot-welds) and he has not had a problem since.

Word, lots of people do that, but I already have this, so that's irrelevant, thanks for the info though!

[Dano]

Bump, I've just been lazy with the pics, maybe someone that has one will see this and chime in.

Why do you keep bumping this thread? You are the only one that cares...

Because he wants someone with a hands on experience with this product to chime in. Why does it bother you so much?

Why does it bother you so much?

It doesn't bother me.
I gave good insight and he called it "irrelevant".
It's just that any input into this thread has been met with hostility or dismissed by Dano.
Dano seems to think he has a way to make this brake pedal bracket work on LHD 240sx. But for a week he keeps saying that he will post pics and keeps bumping a thread with no new information. So what is the point?

Bottom line, the Nismo Brake Pedal Bracket is designed for the RHD 180sx/Silva. You might be able to use it on your LHD 240SX, but not without modification in which case it would have been more beneficial to simply use a stock bracket and modify that to make it stronger. Dano already said he figured it out "Now I think I can just, as said before, cut the NSS arm off, and then I think I could just drill the holes for the US spring in the same spot as the US bracket and utilize it that way, I just wanted to see if anyone had figured out the parts to put it in as designed...

That was a week ago.
