I've read on a few occasions on here people using the peddle off Honda's.

Contrary to what people insist, searching on this forum is relatively useless, especially on anything more technical than lowering or custom wheels.

1)I thought I was on your ignore list
2)If you knew more than body kits and coilovers, you would help out by answering the hundreds of threads I dug through where nobody responded to the OP.
3)Nobody out-searches me. Nobody.

Anyway, for the sake of being useful (unlike some members who just like to pretend they're moderators and don't actually contribute), try to match the clutch pedal assembly to the transmission if possible.

I plan on swapping a CD009 trans in so I'll try to fit the clutch pedal/master cylinder from the 350z/G35.

If not, Honda Civic pedal/MC has been used successfully.

A master cylinder with a remote reservoir may be easier to squeeze in there too.

You'll also need to reinforce the firewall or it'll flex all over.

If you're so great, put the answers out there so they actually exist.

Or, actually contribute instead of policing from mom's basement.

I have nothing to add on the clutch pedal but to be honest the searching system doesn't net quite good results, even with advanced search.
I usually use google "keywords" followed by site:clublexus.com eg: gs300 clutch pedal site:clublexus.com
This nets better results, but then a lot of photos are dying off. Just FYI
