Do You Have To Change The Foot Brake?

[BE6027]

when performing a manual conversion is it necessary to change the foot brake, my mate owns cy's old one and it looks like there is a lot of room around there. just curious thanks guys...

[Stinky Rooster]

No, not at all, its just that Cy is a dodgy bastard that sells unsafe cars to unsuspecting people all the time.

LOL!

Nah, really, it gets in the way of the clutch pedal if you leave it there.

[GoldZilla]

I'd change it if doing the conversion myself, as Dale said the auto brake pedal would be in the way when you push the clutch in.

Mine's been converted to manual (before I bought it) and it has the manual brake pedal in it.

[Terminal]

The clutch uses most of the mounting points from the park brake, so it's impossible to have both installed.

[AlexCim]

Short answer. Yes

Long answer, hell yes.

and the manual console has the spot for the handbrake as well - change it over.

hey duncan where can we get one and how much are they .cheers

[yokotas13]

how hte hell are yuo going to prolong a drift with a foot brake in the way of your clutch?

[Duncan]

well....about 800 for all of the parts from Nissan is the only reliable way to get them. all part numbers are in the manual conversion thread.

they come up on yahoo japan second hand sometimes but they are just too expensive you might as well buy new

Ahhh, dude, calm down.

I dont think he was being a dick, just simply making a remark. So, he wants to slide a Stagea, who cares. You are being the hater here, not him.

All motorsport should be respected in any form, a drifting or a sliding wagon. Doesnt matter if its not your style, its someone elses.

But honestly, from me to you, what the hell was the point of making this thread? Have you even had a look under your dash at your pedals. You might then notice that the brake pedal sits up close to the steering console on one side and then on the other side sits.... the foot brake. How would you fit a pedal in there? You cant. Who the hell wants 4 pedals any way, there is absolutely no logic to that.

Anyway, all the best with the conversion.

[BE6027]

im calm mate, funny how people cant tell what expression people are leaving when you write in text.

i dont care if he slides the stagea, good luck to him and it would look mad. im not hating on anybody, his post was innappropriate, didn't answer my question, and i respect other peoples opinions and styles, and no i have had no chance to have a closer inspection as i dont see my car from day to day. cheers for the help though, and cheers for the luck.

[yokotas13]

it did answer your question

just in an unorthodox way

look past the bullshit, and you see the answer

of course you have to take it out

[unique1]

Hey Grant have u done any drifting in your stagea yet? i want to see some footage of stageas drifting (besides the 1jz one on youtube), i'd love to give it a go when my engine is finished for a laugh and see how it goes. I got the power and rock hard suspension so should be alright, and people reckon long wheelbase cars are easier to slide and control

[yokotas13]

bleh

i have to reset timing (advanced too far think i might just take it one tooth back on teh CAS hehe)

finsih brake ducts

install gauges

etc etc before i take it to the track

it does however do well on the mountains bwahaha

but no, no footage yet
