Hi guys!

Did a quick search and couldn't really find anything, so I thought i'd start a topic.

I just recently (i.e Yesterday, lol) picked up my '92 GTR from the dealer and i'm already curious about fitting cruise control. I imagine a cruise control unit isn't specific to any particular models of cars, so I was wondering whether it would be possible to hook up cruise control to the 2 radio control buttons mounted on the dash (AM/FM and Tune i think they are). Obviously the stock head unit has been replaced, and these buttons no longer function so I figured I could put them to good use.

From what I read, the R33's had cruise control, perhaps I could find and R33 control unit at a wreckers and take it somewhere to be fitted?

Is my theory along the right lines, or is CC a lot more complicated than that?

With any turbo car you need to have installed a electronic cruise control (not the ones that use vacume). These are more in price to buy and install, but anywere that sells cruise control units should be able to get them.

As for the buttons on the dash, it may be able to be dont but would cost $$$$ as the switches would have to be custom made.

I didn't know that, sounds cool. I wonder if the same parts can be used on a 32 GTR ..

Chris mentioned in his other thread that the parts appear to no longer be available from Nissan. The only way to get a factory cruise control would be to find one fitted to a car. Im unsure if all 32s use the same loom, but its probable that they did, in which case the plugs would be definitely there in the GTR as well as all the gtst models.

Cruise control was an option on R32's, it's more common on 4 doors, second hand factory cruise is awesome but very hard to find. I put factory cruise in my R32 GTR. Here's what you need to do... find a 32 with cruise.. You will need the Wiring harness that goes under the dash and into the engine bay as it is different, instrument cluster, brake switch, clutch switch, control unit, on/off switch, set/decelerate/accelerate switch, vacuum pump, vacuum reservoir, diaphragm/cable, throttle linkage and hours and hours of labour... Alternatively any aftermarket cruise will work and is easy to install, you will need a vacuum reservoir if the car is turbocharged... A speed sensor can be bought separately which bolts in between the gearbox and speedo cable, command ap 150 tends to be a good unit...

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
