zep Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Hey all, I'm looking to purchase a drive by wire pedal assembly and throttle body. Just wondering about opinions on these options. Will be most probably using a link g4x fury. 350z pedal and tb, used at $350+gst - link lists this tb as one they "support" Bosch Motorsport pedal and tb, about $500+gst A mixture of the above? Or I can probably get a cheap pedal from something at pick a part. I've heard subarus are good, any other options? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.H. Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 What size throttle body do you need? Vw pedals are easy to mount and the throttle bodys come in various sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to say that the bosch and 350z tbs look quite nice compared to some others :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Options I've looked at are 350Z APS or the RX8 entire pedal. The RX8 pedal looked easier to mount up, but then the problem is that the sensor is built into the whole thing. So you cant just swap a sensor over if it fails. So for that reason I'd prefer the likes of 350Z as can keep a spare and swap it over easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the ve commodore pedals like? As for the 350z stuff, it seems like it's only a hundred more to get new bosch stuff, warranty and all.

vk327 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Never had issues with the ve pedals, just looked now priced at $110+, depending on what space you have maybe look at some of the Nissan or Subaru pedals as they have metal stem which is easy to mod pedal angle/position if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keltik Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Have had to replace a Qashqai pedal and a Pulsar pedal recently. Was pretty rare that we ever had to do a VE pedal - just lots of the v6 throttle bodies. Anything GM/LS makes life easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 The VE pedal looks way easier to mount than the nissan one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 Are all pedals essentially the same? They are mostly 6 wire, right? If so, essentially I could just go to pick a part and grab any one that I liked the look of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vk327 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Yeah pedal will typically be 6 wire, 2 potentiometers to give failsafe signals to ecu, throttle body is similar setup, normally common up +5v and gnd, so 4 pins for position and 2 for motor, just need to go thru the e throttle setup in the link software to set the sensor slope, generally wired one upscale one downscale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bracket wise I thought something like this would have been not too bad to set depth and height.. https://www.tiperformance.com.au/products/ea-eb-ed-ef-el-au-falcon-barra-accelerator-pedal-bracket-for-dbw-throttle/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
