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.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
