No i don't need spare audio buttons :P

what I was thinking is to get the assy from US, cost about $60-80 shipped not quite sure exact shipping cost yet, and

see if a local company like Autron can wire it to their generic vacuum cruise control unit.

chris, do you want the spare audio (left hand side of steering wheel) buttons you left in my car?

i obviously have no use for them!

I do.

Is that SCS you mean the same with either the SCS-4342 or SCS-3342 ?

3342 - electric. van version is a pain on those cars.

best if I talk you through it. you have the buttons and diagrams to wire it? ring me on monday. I'm away at my parents until then (I'm on a 28k dialup link to my shop server right now.)

No, haven't got the buttons yet, just ordered last night, was just warming up the engine n looking at the panel and tried to tweak it but won't budge. only saw two caps on both side of the steering wheel cowl which reveals 2 bolts on both side but not sure if that's where I am suppose to start.

will ring you after it arrives, possibly after the long weekend next week.

ok:

undo battery negative lead.(remember to reset your TV.)

remove cover caps from side of steering wheel.

remove two tamperproof (think they are t30)

remove air bag and pop clip out of the bag of the plug

pull plug out of air bag and set that aside.

disconnect horn wire (yellow wire that runs to steel frame.)

undo the two torx bolts that are now visible (t30 or t35) and remove assembly, careful with springs

undo 19mm nut but do not take it off.

unplug steering controls and send to me :P

wriggle wheel until it comes off.

remove 19mm nut and remove

remove 4 phillips screws and remove the rear plastic shroud, this is clipped on.

remove 4 screws from SWC and blank panel.

when you put it back together route the cruise wiring across the top of the rear cover so it doesn't foul on the horn assembly.

ring me if you get lost.

unplug steering controls and send to me :)

thank's for the instruction, didn't think it'll be that complicated just to get to the stupid blank panel :P

which one? the blank one or the new cruise control? do you need to modify anything before it will work?

also you said the harness is already pre-wired inside the steering wheel column to connect to the cruise buttons, is that right?

yep its a fun job. I want your old radio controls :) harness is wired through the clockspring but terminates on the wheel side inside the column shroud - you need the wiring diagram to pin it out and get the wiring through.

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
