Just wanted to let everyone know, I've just had cruise control installed by nigel from www.cruisecontrol.com.au

$800 installed and it works great - and hopefully will keep my licence intact :nyaanyaa:

stalk looks like this (set, resume, accel, decel, and 2 memory speeds (eg 110 and 60).

control unit and throttle looks like this

This looks great, i will have to get one.

Whats the minimum speed set? My sisters only goes down to 60, but 40+ would be good cause school zones are painful.

And what is the maximum? again mysisters is gay and wont let you set it higher than 109km/h which is gay for highway as i like to do about 115.

I hate the stalk ones - the rostra ones I have use a rf linked control (so no wires) and clip onto the steering wheel. You can even unclip it and hand it to the wife in the passenger seat and she can make the car go faster or slower until she is happy.. :-)

DO NOT DIY IT! if you get the linkage wrong you can jam the throttle. not the most ideal thing with you stand on the brake and the car WILL NOT slow. pay someone.

had a reply back from the guy on ebay

Hi Tom,

The unit is fully electronic OE unit (Delco). It uses a magnet on the tail shaft to measure the speed and controls the throttle from the unit.

It will suit a turbo motor as there are no vacuum connections required.

You need to connect the control cable to the throttle (universal brackets are supplied).

should be about $200 which sounds more reasonable to be (especially being a uni student and all) and should be a case of plugging a few things together and away you go :)

i have aftermarket cruise on my s2 stag and its awesome

i looked into the magnet ones and the big problem is when the magnets come off and finding replacements, the awful panel, and getting a good spot to attach the kit. Plus i found that after so many revolutions the cruise will not opperate so it has in effect a speed limitation.

highly recommend getting one with a stepper motor instead of an extended reservoir vac tank also.

mine is a little slow to rect on hills etc although turning up the gain will help but CBF

covered 3000kms towing in 2.5 days and the cruise was awesome

when installing it i went for a stalk in the end although i already had a cm21 (for ap models) steering wheel remote CBF attaching it and went lazy stalk

why go magnet when the stock ecu has a speed wire to tap into?- this way it never runs out of scope likethe magnetic ones do.

if you are looking for a cheap option i will off load the cm21 for $50 (cost $140) as its useless to me and it has never been used! (a little sly selling stuff here...) - just need to buy the stepper motor then and tap into the loom.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
