I was vacuuming the Z today and I noticed theres about a 3" square bracket on the back of my accelerator pedal that keeps the pedal from going to the floor. Is this bracket stock and is it restricting my Z from its full potential? Or am I just being over-zealous?

 

good question, anyone?

 

whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaat?

 

That must be why my car will only go 150mpg.

 

still waiting on the go ahead...

 

your cars at full acceleration long before the pedal is fully depressed, its like that with all cars nowadays

 

You get 150 miles per gallon??? Dude, you must be using a turbonator! j/k

 

I've read stock pedal only opens up 85% of throttle. Maybe this block is the reason.

 

Negative.

The throttle position is determined by the ECU... Remeber .. or cars throttle is drive by wire.

As for the original poster... I would not remove this... it wont make a diference in the performance of your Z... other than possibly break it.

 

Yup +1 you beat me to the answer

 

You know you're gonna try it anyways

 

Do it and tell us waht happens.

 

Its going to go 300mph!

 

Don't you mean MPH not MPG??

 

Get new weed; you obviously have a bad batch.

 

I'm gonna take it off and break the sound barrier... I don't think I wanna be the one to test out this theory but wouldn't mind someone else who can afford to break **** and pay to fix it and then give us the details... Any takers?

 

I have diplexopra. Thats where you read and wright funy.

 

Bonneville salt flats will be the place to try it.

 

the 300zx has the same little block. I don't remember what it was for but i do remember that whe i took it off there was no diffrence at all. Actually i almost broke something.

 

Umm yea ok
