I had one done 2 years ago...... runs fine.

Cost was $630...

I am happy with it............. Runs pretty well.

I also have a Maxima of the same year. They come std with cruise.

I would think that maybe this could be modded to fit the Stag.

The control buttons are better. They steering wheel is the same.

I have posted pics of mine before..

ever thought of pulling one out of another nissan at the local wreckers?

I've got a complete system from a 97 or 98 maxima that i acquired for $50 that im planning to wire in soon.

Correct me if Im wrong, but I thought the trouble with the factory ones is they are not programmable, or can they be ? ie they are programmed for a particular vehicle.

When i moved my C.C. from my Skyline to my Stagea, I had to completely change the setup, ie initial pull, throttle reaction etc as they can over/under-run and your speed can change dramatically, which is also the case when major mods are made. There is a lot of road testing involved in setting a C.C. just right for a particular vehicle, so unless the factory ones can be programmed I can't see how they can be fitted to another model and still operate precisely.

just one more thing guys...

can anyone direct me to the location of the vehicle speed sensor (vss) for a s2 stagea!

searches have proved to be inaffective so direction to the right page - a wiring diagram - rough location or pics would be fantastic

thing is i need it by tonight - just helping out the auto lec by giving verything and anything he may/will need to make his job easier.

and have a look for a post from a couple of years ago - as we talked about this a lot and I posted the pics etc of my one when I put it into the rs4s. It's a rostra global cruise control (from memory) and works great. Links up to the speedo wire from the ecu, and the brake and clutch.

sorry for bumping this up but how did stagea_neo go with hooking up the maxima one?

sounds ideal to use if the steering wheel is similar

just looking for a simple and cheap option that will hold the speed on flatish ground

Hi Tom,

After Simon (Chook) gave feedback, ive left it sitting in the parts box :)

Never further investigated, but since come across the manual for the Stag so may take another look and compare to the maxima wiring diagram.

Looked quite simple to hook up.

Might go get the control unit of the garage an pop the case off it see if there are any trimpots for calibration.

nup no trimpots :)

not sure what the nec k659 component on the board does but maybe that's where a trimpot could be placed to calibrate.

(only guessing im not an electronic eng.)

Bugger. Certainly nothing adjustable there. The K659 looks like a FET that has its heat sink anchored to the board with a screw, so certainly not an adjustment. I guess you'd just have to install it and see what happens.

Many years ago I sourced a unit from a Commodore. I figured out the wiring and the speed input and had it working on the bench top just fine. I was gonna install it on my GTI-R. The hard part was making up something to mount at the throttle. Hence, never got around to it. Dunno how well it would have worked. Totally different engine reponses.

Cruise control kits seem way too expensive for what they are. I really need on in the Stag. My misses just got a MIni and even it has cruise control!

maxima hardware with a matching length vac servo. Scott bailey and myself were discussing this last night. I think my servo came out of a bluebird. there is an option plug with speed and brake in the kickpanel of the C34s

Any specific model of maxima Chris??

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
