incorrect. i would suggest looking closely at the maxima unit from a wreck.

it consists of:

steering wheel with switch

clockspring

brake and cruise lockout switches

lockout relay

electronic control unit

vacuum pump

vac servo and cable.

the latter comes in various lengths so find one that suits your car and use that.

in my case with a rb20 it was taken from a U13 bluebird.

if you do grab a mid late 90s unit get the matching electronics from the same car. the vac pump and servo you can mix and match to suit

your position in the engine bay providing you get the cable and thread length correct.

True, I have been there with the old vacuum versions. A common problem with both though for me I think might be fitting the actuator somewhere in amongst all the gear in the 4WD stagea's engine bay... but will give it a shot.

I'm keen to see how this all turns out as I've been missing the cruise control from my old Statesman. I don't suppose auto and manual would be any different? Please keep updating. And a price list of all the parts would be lovely if you find them and don't mind.

Cheers.

mine sits one the firewall.

pump you can put anywhere. mine is actually in the stock spot in front of the strut tower drivers side.

I have since revised that bracket to a early 90s maxima one. it sits on the strut now.

costs - not really relevant. all of it will be secondhand from wreckers.

auto and manual ARE different electrically. if you are going to pull one from a wreck make sure you grab everything attached to it.

Thanks Chris. I was going to ask where to fit the actuator in the engine bay of an RS4 C34... it's pretty packed in there :(

I think I will have to mount mine in the cabin (under the dash). The only thing which concerns me is I don't know how noisy the unit will be when it's operating.

Also, does anybody know if there is a cruise light in the dash?

it will fit out side. give me a bit to do scotts one and I will pop a few images up. no light in the dash going to use two LEDs or if I can find a spare light socket in the dash I will make something fit.

Awesome, thanks :-)

    • 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
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
