Just wanted to clear up rumors that an S14 auto--->manual swap can be done using R33 skyline brake pedals. This is a definate no. I spent yesterday fighting and trimming the pedal to try to get it to clear the steering colum and its a no go. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up. ;)

The Japanese brake pedals are on the opposite side of the steering column so they WILL NOT WORK.

You are absolutely right.

Just take your stock brake pedal and trim t down.....then add the clutch stuff.

I tried S13 Silvia and R33 pedals to no avail. At least there is another alternative.

brake = no

clutch = yes (of course its longer and takes a little work, but it can. right along with the clutch cylinder)

skyline is easy. the s13 i had to make a little spacer for the pedal. i think 1 of the bolts was a little off, so thats where the spacer came in.

also extended the adjustment thing that has the pin? no clue what its called. but a spacer from ace solved it.

the s13 is very close to stock.
