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...

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
