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).

sorry out of focus

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.

the stork looks awfully low down isn't it a bit close to ure nee?

i was looking at getting cruise put in also but i don't really want another stork can you get buttons on the dash in stead or somthing else?

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.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
