Got a tune booked this monday with JEZ to touch up after installing my highflow, so in the meantime i've been doing little things to the car while we wait Up next on the list was the clutch pedal bracket.. A fairly common issue with these cars, and i wanted to fix it before i got stranded I went ahead an ordered a Nismo Clutch pedal bracket, the Nismo item is made of a thicker steel and has some extra welds to strengthen the unit In the box, you get a clutch pedal bracket, and an instruction booklet which is all in Japanese Here's a photo of the unit, you might be able to see the difference in thickness, you can certainly feel it when they are both out of the car I went ahead and pulled out the clutch pedal bracket from the car, and unsurprisingly i found this.. A clean break, there's a lot of evidence that someone has tried to fix this in the past as there is weld and spatter all over the unit, but all that seems to have done is moved the stress to a weaker part of the bracket Here's a comparison shot of the 2, as you can see the nismo unit has had that area boxed in, i can imagine it flex's a lot I assembled the pedal, spring and little switch and put fresh grease where i found old grease and reinstalled it I'm happy to report a world of difference, the pedal feels great and it no longer sounds like someone is bashing the firewall with a hammer whenever i try to change gears! - Thankfully the weather is warming up, working in the open air at night was getting pretty average, but it's warming up and the sun is staying around for longer so I'm happy
