Andrew_L26 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Hi all, this isn't necessarily about gearboxes but I was wondering if a 280zx manual pedal box will fit a 260z 2+2. I'm happy to modify them within reason. Thanks, Andrew Quote

Thanks, Andrew Operation f edals is same, spacing of rods, but, the mounting holes for firewall attachment are wrong position.Easy fixed, but, as a structural thing, not sure if it needs engineeting. Second point, if in accident, and it is discovered, whether contributory or not, insurances may be vouded, and liability then put onto driver/installer etc. Quote
Andrew_L26 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 Would this involve modifying the pedal box or actual car? Surely redrilling a few holes on the pedal box wouldn't really require an engineering cert. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 11, 2016 Administrators Posted February 11, 2016 Just get a proper S30z one, they can be had and are not that expensive. Quote

And as Gav said said, just grab an S30 one. Do you need a new pedal box ? my late model 2+2 auto didn't need a new pedal box, just the 260Z clutch pedal and pivot pin.

Cheers PB Thats what I just became aware of! I'm now on the hunt for a clutch/brake pedal (I believe they are the same?) Quote
C.A.R. Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Thats what I just became aware of! I'm now on the hunt for a clutch/brake pedal (I believe they are the same?) No the angles & pedal pad orientation are different between the two. Just do as I advised in my PM! Andrew_L26 1 Quote
