Hopefully mid next week I will have my hands on a 97 rs 4 dayz stagea and was wondering what the possibility of finding the factory cruise control gear would be? I've done a bit of a google search and ebay search for skyline and stagea cruise control gear but to no avail. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?

All i know is, that S1 did not have factory cruise control, so you will be looking for a cruise control unit out of an S2 and i highly doubt you will find a factory cruise control unit.

You will probably be better of going for an aftermarket item

I have one fitted by Cruisewest, it is great, use it all the time. Fairly accurate, cost $640... well worth it IMO. It is a paddle on the steering wheel. I am sure that I have saved that much money in being able to thumb my nose at police camera's. Only been done once, (motor bike cop with Laser), cause I got pissed off by a slow driver, and overtook on freeway with foot on floor, luckily the cop only got me for 111km/h...... if he'd been a bit quicker...... well let's just say that the std brakes are fine from about 160km/h...., so although cruise control's don't stop you speeding...... they sure help. I like to use mine in the 40km/h school zones, as well as normal 60km/h zones.... it's so funny watching how many people get pissed off, (behind me). Then I can feel smug... cause all I have to do is boot it..... but as confucious say.... real power is having the power but choosing not to use it. (yeah so you've got an SV8...... who cares?... whooosh!) :laughing-smiley-014:

For info check out http://www.autron.com.au/newweb/index1280.htm

and just for Hugh, they have fitters all over the country..... tell them that they will have to fit an auxiliary brake switch though.

here's what it looks like....

(it's a Nissan Xtrail, but it is similar)

Oh BTW... Nissan in their wisdom, never fitted a cruise control (not even in the Prime edition ....how stupid!!) ...maybe 'cos most JDM cars never got over 50km/h..... or run for more than a few kms!!!

I've got a 66yo lead foot and really would like to get a well valued, reliable CC unit.

Who knows the best place to suss one out?

give me a ring. I do them. (see sig.)

Yeah do a search, Ian sused out a great one aaages ago, I started a thread on this very subject and it has heaps of info in it. :P

yep - go find the thread as we talked about it a bit and it has pictures of mine in it. Mine is a rostra global one (from memory) - the important things are 1) it is electric (NOT VACUUM!) and 2) the controller talks to the unit via RF, so you don't need to run wires up the steering wheel etc, or use one of those stupid stalk ones. Also means I can theoretically unclip it and hand it to the wife in the passenger seat and she can press the up/down speed buttons till she is happy with how fast we are going.. :-)

Got the same units in the r34 and Stagea, never had a problem. And I sometimes do over a 1000km's in a day, so it gets used!

Ian

I installed this on my Skyline and then onto my S2 Stagea, as used by Nissan on some models, infrared unit on steering wheel, electric unit, as said before, dont get vacuum. Bought from Autobarn, installed myself, little fiddly to calibrate just right, but once thats over, it is bulletproof, and has a factory look about it. Also bolted straight into the existing throttle body setup.

I tend to use the electric ones on these cars - less hassle to set up properly and no vac lines to cut. not a fan of command. too fiddly. have used tge RF rostra item as well. (good for Daewoo..)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
