SyCK Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 When I took delivery of the 510 there was no gas pedal, just a sweet piece round bar, though I later found the pedal in a box of parts that was included. After looking at it and realizing it's a floor mount, knowing I'm not going to like it, I started looking around for other options. I tried searching on here and 510realm for some ideas on replacing it with a floater style pedal but I didn't really see any fruitful posts on the matter. I know there is no way everyone is running this crappy plastic thing just screwed to the floor so what are some of you guys doing that's not a floor mounted pedal? Ideas and pics are much appreciated! "The 510 n00b" Quote Link to comment
nismo dr Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 i have spoon style pedal in my 521, I love it. looking for a better pic Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I used a 720 pedal when I did the ka swap in my wagon. But I had to, cause I swapped to a throttle cable instead of that goofy linkage stuff with the ' motor 1 Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Do people use the 240sx pedals? But probably when switching to KA motors, but you do have an SR(VE) Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Stock crappy pedals, still looking good in my 40+ year old rigs, and work like they should. Can't be that bad Quote Link to comment

ariascarlos1990 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I have a 620 pedal in the wagon. works really good. Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Many people use the 240sx pedal and the 240sx s14 cable for SR's. This is what I have waiting to be installed. Quote Link to comment
SyCK Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Thanks for the responses guys :) The stock pedal just looks so flimsy and it also looks like it broke off, I mean I'm sure it serves it's purpose well but there are better options out there. I didn't realize swapping the pedal set was the most viable option, I just thought something could be modified on the stock unit. I guess I'll look into the 240 set option since that makes the most sense, hopefully I can find a writeup somewhere since this is new territory for me. It will also give me an excuse to check out some parts yards :cool: Thanks again guys! Quote Link to comment

I haven't reached this part of my SR swap yet but from what I have read on the realm, one of the bolt holes align and you will have to drill another one. I am going to bend a piece of steel to allow me to use the stock mounting location while using the full pedal functionality. Quote Link to comment
imtb Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Good Topic. I wanted to replace my linkage setup with a cable but, didnt like how it felt. Going to give it another try now,that I am going FI. I found a couple of 240 pedal assm on ebay and some cables for cheap. I picked up the complete pedal assm for $30.00 and doesnt looks like it can go in pretty easy. BTW nice ride. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 The Plastic stock 510 part is a floor mount. But you still can use the pedal. just buy one of those aftermarket pedal pads that bolt on. I installed a B210 on and the pedal was so far out that I really had to angle my foot to keep for pushing down on it to hard. Quote Link to comment
rusty12ver Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Is that plastic little pivot point still available? Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 You do realize that the 510 came with "just a bar" for the gas pedal, and the original "pad" was hinged at the floor....right? So the "just a bar" piece is correct, and works perfectly fine. I just made some tabs to bolt on a set of aluminum pedals. Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 . I have found that aluminum pedals are really dangerous if your shoes are wet ....... .. . oh.... you're in Arizona.... :unsure: ... .. carry on Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 For some reason the pedals on my 510 are too close together. I catch the brake when I try to press the gas, and catch the clutch when trying to hit the brake. I've knocked my left foot off the clutch when going for both the brake and clutch simultaneously. And my feet aren't big! I suspect the shag carpet isn't helping. But more likely is since the car used to be an automatic maybe the spacing is just wrong, due to the wider tunnel forcing the gas pedal outboard more than normal. Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Mine are close to, i cant wear my work shoes when i drive her, have to wear small tennis shoes lol. Same thing in my wifes sentra ser. Big feet equal problems. I prefer my floor mounted pedal, keeps your foot from going under the gas. Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 The 620 pedal looks very similar to the S13 240SX pedal. Do you need a pic of the 240SX pedal? Quote Link to comment
