Default Aftermarket pedals

Hiya.
I've probably made a mistake of buying aftermarket Sparco pedals without assuring I can fit them in my Z. I know know that there are clips holding OEM pedals. Did anyone install aftermarket, standard mount pedals in Z?

The original pedal covers have a rubber backing that stretches over the metal pedals. No clips.

Yes, but it looks like you will have to drill through the pedals to install the covers. Here is a similar installation:

What's wrong with the original pedals? I have them on my car, but changed the throttle pedal to the 380RS type:



Does your car have these, or the plastic covers?

For the same reason as you probably - heel/toe.
I'm kinda not into shelling out 350PLN (about 110$) for a single gas pedal.

I think I paid about $35 or $40, but that was probably in 2010. It works well, though.

Nissan is selling it now for $30.

If you want to, message me your shipping address and I'll see if I can figure out what postage would be to you in Poland. You could send me the PayPal, and I'll send you the pedal. I've been around here a very long time, so you can trust me, and my feedback on eBay is 497.

You can get the 380RS pedal for 35 pounds from the UK, that's what I did.

If interested shoot me a PM and I can point you in the right direction.

Interesting.... of all the things on my cars I've tinkered with, I don't think I've EVER even looked at my pedals other than when vacuuming out the car.

Heel/toe works just fine for me but foot sizes and physical dexterity does play a part I guess. But the next time I blow a 4-3-2, I'll just blame "that damm faulty pedal"! Laff.....

I paid $45 for my 380RS pedal, it does help with heel/toe. I can manage OK on the street but still can't do it on the track due to the high G-load. Likely need a harness setup to keep myself planted in the seat better.
