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).

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.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
