When upgrading a vehicle to a modern electronic throttle body, finding a drive-by-wire pedal that actually fits can be a challenge. Over the years, we've tested countless setups, and this universal drive-by-wire pedal has proven to be one of the most adaptable and reliable options available.
It's been used successfully across Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Infiniti, and many other platforms - making it an easy choice for builders who just want something that works.
Why We Recommend It
It's a strong, all-metal unit that can be easily adapted to different chassis using simple bracket or bolt pattern adjustments. Other Plastic Pedal options have a much larger footprint and simply don't work withing most firewall space constraints.
We've installed and supplied hundreds of these pedals, and they've consistently delivered the right pedal feel, throttle response, and reliability that builders expect.
Key Features
Flexible Mounting The folded sheet-metal backing plate bolts directly to your chassis or firewall. It can be re-drilled, spaced, or used with an adapter bracket to suit different bolt-hole layouts - including direct compatibility with many Nissan firewall patterns.
All-Metal Construction The solid steel pedal rod can be shortened, extended, or repositioned by trimming and re-welding - allowing precise placement of your original pedal pad. Perfect for custom builds or conversions where positioning and factory feel is crucial.
Reliable OEM-Grade Sensor Each unit includes an AISIN position sensor, a genuine Japanese OEM component used in many factory drive-by-wire systems. It's accurate, dependable, and proven over years of real-world use.
Adaptable Fitment The standard bolt-hole spacing is 40 mm centre-to-centre - check your firewall or bracket pattern, and adapt if needed.
Universal vs Bosch: Why Footprint Matters
Take a look at the side and front profile of both 3D models side by side. The Bosch pedal's plastic lever is considerably longer than ours, measured from the pivot point down to the pedal pad, which means it needs a lot more vertical clearance between your floor and the wiper tray or scuttle panel just to physically fit. Because it's plastic, that lever length is fixed, you can't trim it or re-weld it to suit tighter packaging like you can with our steel rod.
Our universal pedal is built with a proportionate pivot point: the distance from the rotation axis to the wiper tray is roughly the same as the distance from the axis down to the pedal pad. That balance means you can position the pedal exactly where you need it without resorting to a complex offset adapter bracket, something that's often unavoidable when trying to fit a Bosch pedal into a tight footwell.
Test Fit Before You Buy
We offer a free downloadable 3D model of the pedal assembly so you can print it and check fitment on your firewall before ordering. It's an easy way to confirm spacing, angle, and comfort position.
Considering a Bosch pedal instead, like the one offered by Haltech? We can send you a free 3D model of that one too. It uses a 4-hole mounting pattern and a noticeably larger, more awkward footprint. Print both and test fit them side by side and you'll see why a lot of builders end up here after the Bosch pedal didn't package well.
Workshop Proven
This universal pedal has been used and trusted by workshops across New Zealand and overseas. It's simple, reliable, and gives consistent performance - whether it's going into a daily-driven street car or a full custom build.
"I would 100% recommend this product to anyone doing a drive-by-wire conversion in just about anything. It's easy to install and adapt to other chassis." — Cole McKnight, Nissan S13 Silvia

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions about our Universal Drive By Wire Pedal Kits.
Yes - its carbon steel backing plate and metal pedal rod design make it easy to adapt to nearly any firewall.
A genuine AISIN OEM-grade sensor (6-pin layout, APP 1 & APP 2 signals).
Yes - the pedal geometry gives a familiar, progressive feel similar to cable setups.
Absolutely. Request the free 3D model, print it, and check your fitment.
Bosch pedals, like the one packaged by Haltech, use a 4-hole mounting pattern and a considerably larger footprint, which makes them harder to package in tighter firewall spaces. Ask us for a free 3D model of the Bosch pedal alongside ours and test fit both before deciding.
