Parts for your 1993 Nissan Primera-Pedal pads

1993 Nissan Primera Pedal Pads

Pedal pads are absolutely fitted to the 1993 Nissan Primera (P10). Factory technical references – including the Nissan Primera P10 factory service manual and the Nissan FAST parts catalogue – specify rubber pedal pad covers for the brake pedal, and for the clutch pedal on manual models. The accelerator on this era typically uses a different style of treaded plastic/metal pedal face, so the replaceable rubber pad applies mainly to brake (and clutch). That means pedal pads are a relevant, serviceable safety item on this vehicle.

The job of these pads is simple but crucial: provide reliable grip underfoot so the driver’s shoe doesn’t slip, especially when wet. They also cushion the pedal feel a touch, reduce vibration, and help meet roadworthy/WoF expectations in Australia and New Zealand. As they age, the rubber hardens and smooths off, which increases stopping distance risk if a foot slides at the wrong moment. Because they’re inexpensive and easy to fit, they’re a smart item to check at every service.

What owners and workshops should look for:

• Shiny, smooth or slippery pedal surfaces
• Cracks, splits, or chunks missing from the rubber
• Pad lip not seated around the metal pedal plate
• Pad moving or twisting underfoot
• WoF/RWC comments about pedal grip

Service advice for a 1993 Primera: inspect pedal pads at each service or roughly every 10,000–15,000 km. Replace at the first sign of hardening, glazing, or cracking. On manuals, do brake and clutch pads together so pedal feel and grip match side-by-side. Replacement is straightforward: lever off the old rubber, clean the pedal plate with mild soap and water, dry thoroughly, then work the new pad on from one edge, ensuring the rubber lip fully captures the metal all the way around. Avoid lubricants, silicone sprays, or petroleum cleaners on the rubber or pedal face – they reduce grip.

Keep mats trimmed and secured so they can’t ride up under the pedals. Wash pedal pads with mild soap if contaminated with grease or polish. Avoid aftermarket bolt-on covers that compromise grip or aren’t firmly secured, as they can run foul of WoF/RWC checks.

Do automatic 1993 Primeras have a clutch pedal pad?

No. Automatic models only have a brake pedal pad. Manuals have both brake and clutch pads, typically similar rubber covers, while the accelerator uses an integrated treaded face rather than a slip-on rubber pad.

How often should pedal pads be replaced?

There’s no fixed interval, replace whenever they’re hard, shiny, cracked, or slippery. In typical use, that might be every few years. If the vehicle sees lots of wet-weather driving or heavy urban stop–start, inspect more often.

Are aftermarket metal pedal covers okay for WoF/RWC?

Only if they’re secure and provide equal or better grip than OEM. If they’re slippery, loosely attached, or interfere with pedal operation, they can attract a defect or WoF fail. OEM-style rubber pads are the safe bet.
