Can anyone shed some light on this for me..

If you have a car with cruise control can you change the steering

wheel to an aftermarket one without any hassels?, not to sure if the cruise control accel/decel stalk/lever is actually attatched to the steering wheel or not? it doesn't have an airbag etc.

Any feed back would be good!

Some R33 do have cruise control as a factory option (I have the JPNZ R33 User Manual).

I would say it's very rare in coupes and more likely to be found in sedans as the sedan buyers would considerably want more luxury options in their cars. On the other hand, many 300ZX do come with cruise control.

never seen the super cheap auto ones, but i bet they are super cheap :P

im going the factory look. i like quality toys :P theres another company that does cruise control, i'll dig it up, and they have the steering wheel mounted ones.

the rostra seems like they endorse the stem and the steering control unit is an addon or something.

I had a cheapo one in my old car and it worked fine.

It got a bit confused when there were lots of hills (steep up, then steep down), but I think that may have had a lot to do with the car not having the greatest of power :P

My old car was a manual, and it took the signal from the tacho output. So when you set the speed, it would try and hold 'X' amount of revs in closed loop with the throttle.

It scared the crap out of me the first time I used it. Went into a 70km/h corner doing 115km/h !!! And in my old car that was very scarey ;)

But you get used to them very fast :P

I didnt realise this post came back to life!

Cruise control would be kool in the SSS but i don't really need it.

Like my orginal question says

The reason i asked was, my V6 Galant has cruise control standard.

I want to change the Std steering wheel as the leather is abit worn but the cruise control settings/stalk is attatched to the steering wheel.

Just wanted to find out if anyone knew weather or not the cruise control buttons etc can be relocated to somewere else (ie a spare swtich /button in the dash of the car which most have)

TWO40 - cruise is great, i drove upto QLD in Feb with it and back too.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
