I might have the opportunity to pick up a set of Type Rx pedals. I was just wondering how difficult it would be to install on a LHD car.

I know that the brake pedal pad needs to be riveted on but apparently the brake and gas pedals are bolt on and consist of the entire arm and pedal assembly. My question is will these two be bolt up and go or would i have to go about adjusting the clutch position etc?

Thanks

I believe the gas pedal assembly will not bolt up, but the brake/clutch pedals will.

It's the brake pedal arm that has a completely different bend in it due to the RHD steering colum following a different path...

From the look, the clutch and throttle will bolt up fine. I did a lot of research on this years ago, but now I'm not 100% though...

My set took about 40 minutes to install and they were a direct bolt up. The brake pedal pad is just three rivets. The most difficult part was trying to work under the dash with the pedal springs and not get a cramp in my back.

This is a bad pic but its the only one I could find. If you need later I can take a closer pic of the pedals installed if it helps you out.

98PAITR. Thank you, if you could post a quick pic of what it looks like under the dash that would be great!
is there a special tool i need to rivet the brake pedal pad in?

thanks everyone for their help, it's greatly appreciated!

So is it a direct bolt-up, or do you have to rivet? Can you be more specific (or less contradicting )?

from my research, both the clutch and gas pedal assemblies are direct bolt on (ie: you swap the entire arm with the USDM one). it is just the brake pedal pad that has to be riveted onto the stock USDM arm

the gas pedal will delete ur cruise control. i just cut off the base of my stock pedal and welded in the new one . since it was slightly longer then my stock one

The Cruise control in Our Type R's ? I may be speaking for all type r owners, but my cruise control is planting my heal on the tunnel and keeping my foot in the same place on long road trips. stick to your red SI...idjit
ON TOPIC: looks like a cool mod, debating that or Mugen pedals.

Black R

ya but i still plan on retrofitting cruise control into my itr. :p

wrinkly

haha just what i was thinking....but yea...i have looked at the mugen pedals too and i like the look of the Rx pedals better. plus they are cheaper than the mugen set

SlapSmak

well it looks like you dont speak for everyone . maybe you should keep your negative attitude to yourself . im just contributing to the topic in a thread like forums are meant to be used .

redsidriver

besides these pedals fit multiple cars not just itrs

SlapSmak

Thats why I used the word "May" which implies some possibility that not all are included.
I have actually already contributed more to this post as I piggybacked on your comment (which does not apply to 100% of Type R's given NONE had cruise from the factory), and BlackR's comment on wanting to install Cruise in his, so I posted a link to a full How To Install Cruise in an R.

And then a link to some Cheap Mugen Pedals for the OP

who cares, this is the R Forum, not the " Multiple Car Forum"

Idjit.

SlapSmak too bad i already ordered the Rx pedals....if you would have linked me to the mugen auction earlier i would have probably jumped on those...thanks for the help tho.

Those are cheap Chinese knock offs and not real Mugen pedals, which is why they are only $65.

SlapSmak

NP, bought a set for myself...might sell em, might install em.
When you get the Rx pedals, take some pics when you do the install for a DIY...

wrinkly

can't really tell with the low res. pictures but then again i have yet to see real mugen pedals so i can't comment either

yea once they come in I'll try to snap some pictures and post the DIY....hopefully in the next couple of weeks

I don't need to even look at the pictures to tell you they are fake. They retail for almost $200 so any pedals being sold for $65 are knock offs. I did however look at the pictures and they are obvious fakes.

SlapSmak

If they are chinese, they probobly wont work as well...

No offense, but you know this how? they look exactly the same, same surfacing, same gas pedal, same box as I have seen on other sites.

wrinkly

i just took a look on the king website...and the ones on ebay do look very similar/if not exactly like the ones advertised by king...
then again, the chinese fake market has products that are almost exactly the same real ones.

The holes in the gas pedal are a dead give away, that and the price.

Also someone already posted the link in the Mugen thread and they were confirmed fake in there as well.

98PAITR

That is correct. Sorry the brake does have to be rivited on. As far as for cruise control, I drive a 98 so I can't really give you advice on that.
