Nissan Z: Replacing Gas Pedal

[Landon]

Hello! Anyone know how to take off the Gas Pedal or replace the Gas Pedal? I am trying to find out how to replace the Gas Pedal on my Z. I just need to see how easy it is to take off the Gas Pedal on the Z. Below is the link to the Gas Pedal from Z1 Motorsports:

Disconnect the battery (-)
Unclip the connector at the top.
Remove the plastic rectangular trim at the base of the pedal.
Remove the two bolts.
Disconnect the connector at the rear.

I don't see anything else.

Will there be an error code warning once I reconnect the connector?

Disconnecting the car battery before you unplug the gas pedal will prevent the computer from detecting the disconnect. The two bolts are 10MM btw.

Do I need to disconnect the + and - from the batter?

Just the negative side. No need to touch the positive side.

Here is a picture of the gas pedal with 2 red arrows to make sure I am looking at the right locations.

How do I pop out the little plastic knob at the top red arrow? Can I push it in with my thumb or use a hammer to pound it in? Thanks!

What's the next mod?

Landon, Perhaps finding an automotive mentor to oversee your work......

Got it all figured out.

It was only mentioned 5 times in 4 sentences, so are we certain he's asking specifically about his Gas Pedal?

@Landon, just curious what's going on with it?
...your Gas Pedal, I mean. And why you need to remove or replace your Gas Pedal. I've never had a Gas Pedal problem in a modern car. Curious what Gas Pedal-related issues can happen to a Gas Pedal that would warrant removal or replacement of a Gas Pedal.

Seriously though, I'm curious what happened.

My gas pedal seems to be unresponsive sometimes and I was told by Nissan to replace the gas pedal. Also, I want to replace it with the metal style gas pedal anyway. This metal gas pedal:

Shinier yes! More responsive? Negative. Seeking more power is natural; your journey has begun. Just remember; great power comes with great… well you know the rest. Hopefully
