Hi guys,

I haven't brought my skyline yet.. still on holidays XD

just trying to look for the perfect one but I've noticed that the R34 GT-T's don't have cruise control on them..... is that normal??

Is it a optional thing? The reason I am asking is because I really want to have cruise control!! if it's not already on the car.. is it possible to get it put on?? and how much would I be looking at?? On my old 96 VS commodore I had cruise control and when I sit on the freeway my ECU told me it's doing like 6L which is very good, but when I drive normal it's a lot higher!!

So was wondering if it's easy enough to get one put on or If I'd have to go without (which would suk!!)

Thx for the help guys!

Skylines don't come with cruise control. You can get an aftermarket cruise control system installed fairly easily. Have no idea on the cost though. Do a search on here as this question has been covered before. I'm sure there is plenty of information around here about it.

Hi, Thanx guys.

I had done a search for 'cruise control' but didn't find much. Someone else had asked if they had it and someone said that they think you can get a aftermarket one but nothing more was said, nothing about costs or anything so I thought I might post in the WA section cause maybe someone could give me a name of a place were I could get one from :D

Guys

Any number of them out there. Auscruise do a neat electric unit (don't have to worry about vacuum tanks etc).

Got one fitted to the GTR and looks like it came from the factory.

Also have have a vacuum type unit fitted to a diesel patrol - same story on fitment and they both work a treat.

If you are fussy do it yourself and tap into the electonic speedo signal and avoid magnets etc on the driveshaft.

Cheers

Apparently they come with the port but not th unit. I was told around $700 a couple of years ago when i bought my car by my mechanic.... and spent my money on an amp...

My manual BA has cruise control....Is luvs it. the only decent feature of that car.....!@#$%^ Fords!

You can get a manual with cruise control??.... i have never seen this....seriously!

my 31 4 door manual has cruise control..... which will come in handy on the crossing of the nullabor.....it is an after market set up that works on the engine revs...... just set and forget its wicked for fuel economy and pesky 50k zones in the city

I run the Auscruise on both my S15 and R34 - excellent cruise control system, one of the best I have had on all my cars. Would definitelu recommend it. I had my cruise fitted at a place where my cars are regularly hanging around and getting mods done... but pretty sure cruise control is not something they would normally fit - you could ask but I am not sure they would say yes.

    • 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?
