Cruise Control

[NI5MO]

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!

I didn't know skylines came with cruise control!!! :eek:

Are they universal across the skyline range? 32,33,34?

I've got it as well, it is aftermarket I dare say NI5MO's is as well, there a lot of different kits out there so you'll just have to have a good look at yours.

Sorry guys i should have mentioned it's not for a skyline, still i'd say it'd be the same set up as in a R32...

Why can't you use those cheap $159 cruise control kits from ricebarn, ripco, supercrapauto etc.?

Or are they auto only?

SSS unless he's sold that and bought another one. Do SSS's have cruise or are you asking about another car Matt?

Btw, I just drove to Brisbane from Sydney and back this weekend and cruise control ROCKS!

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

im going the factory look. i like quality toys 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'd give my let nut (well, maybe not) for cruise control.

I imagine they just "freeze" the signal from the TPS to hold constant speed?

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

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

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.
