did skylines ever come out wit cruise control and if so wat model?

Mate,

No, never... cruise control is more for a luxury vehicle... a family car etc... sports cars don't normally come with this feature...but it can be installed... it would cost around $1,600 or so...

Why - you thinking of getting it installed?

my currant POS has it and i tried it for the first time ever last night driving the missus into some country town to see her shit kicking family... didnt like it, wasnt in control of the car and i dont like that feeling. Although my next car will have it also i heard it sucks a lot of pertol so i might steer clear.

Hear in the big city i dont drive at one speed long enough to activate it anyways... so meh

i found on the highway it used less fuel. if i'm talking and not paying enough attention i might drop down to about 95, then gas it a bit to get back up to speed, but with the cruise on it will just sit pretty much on the 1 speed so it isn't using the extra fuel to keep speeding up.

its actually the opposite ctjet cruise control is a fuel saver.

i have it on my falcon to drive to work as its an hour away and i love it, just kick back and away ya go, no chance of

getting done by the boys in blue as well, have to be careful in the rain though nearly came unstuck using it when i hit a

large puddle.

would never get it on my liner though would take the fun out of driving it.

In the city or congested traffic cruise is dangerous & should never be used but on the hwy &/or long trips it is brilliant.

I worked for a traffic survey company several yrs ago & one particular job had me drive 15,000km's over a period of 5wks on my own averaging 8-1200km's per day & due to the nature of the data-collection the entire trip was done on cruise control. You still have to have your shit together & be aware etc but it truly is amazing how much more relaxed you can be at the end of long trips without having to put the physical effort into your right foot & the concentration involved in controlling speed & watching for coppers etc.

As for being dangerous, if that is the case the fault & blame lies with the DRIVER, not the device. If you don't have the skill & common sense to operate a vehicle safely with a cruise control, you probably have no right to be driving anything in the first place. Same goes for Automatic-only licences, but that's another argument for another time........

I have it in my skyline, Got it installed 3 days after I got the car......Makes it so much easier to drive the long trips thats for sure.........got to make sure you get an electornic one, tha vaccum ones a shit!!!......the theory is that with the cruise activated you not doing as much when driving such as looking at the speedo all the time to check your speed cos with the cruise you know its what you set it at hence no looking up and down every few seconds.....

As a truck driver I know that it makes it a hell of alot easier to do the long trips!!!

The one I got on my Skyline is a Command unit and was $700 installed, and has the buttons on the steering wheel....very neat and works very well with no surging and is much better on fuel IMO...

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
