I didn't know that they came standard or an option on the M35's - I know the C34's never had them

the only thing I heard about cruise control on the M35 was that Chris Rogers was installing a aftermarket system in a M35 and needed a M35 to be a test mule

I have factory cruise and the radar sits just under the front grill. It works really well even when you are following a car and it slows down in front to a stop. The computer puts my brakes on and nearly stops the car. The only thing i hate about the inteligence is that if a car pulls in front of you your car slows down and it takes a while to pick up again depending on the distance set

Nagoya Motors had a blue RS with factory cruise....

Would have been perfect if it had been fitted on my AR-X. And because of my Momo steering wheel, I cannot use Chris' solution.. Buttons won't fit...

Need cruise... if only to improve the fuel consumption..

A mate of mine is about to buy an ARX with Cruise along with just about every other conceivable option.

Will be quite cool to play with it.

It will be interesting to see how it keeps the car at highway speed as I find that the car can be a little surgy on cruise.

When you look at the grill the radar is in the centre of the grill in shield like shape getting narrow at the bottom and is a dark colour. The Nissan badge sits on top of the radar pannel.

I have seen a few of them here but they are rare.

After doing s few stints on country highways, I decided that cruise is a good thing to have, especially when my good old 350 had cruise and it was the best device to use compared to other cars i've tried. So I take it that the Stag cruise should be cool to use with that added radar at the front to sense cars ahead.

Yes I know it doesnt look too good but shit is it useful to have sometimes.

Andy, when is your mate getting his Stag? I wouldnt mind checking out his car and all the options as I'm going to buy another one from Japan asap.

eugene the factory cruise cant be installed onto one that didnt get it from factory. which sucks.........

but i agree it would be awesome to have :D

Hey Iain yes I know you cant install it, that's why I mentioned that i'm going to look for another car in Japan and sell my one.

easy. fly me down hand $900 + plane ticekt and you'll have OEM style cruise that DOES NOT surge.

the mule car I did finalised the cruise cal for my unit and it works a treat.

you didn't mention where you were but if its in a major city there's a good chance I can send you to a shop and get it fitted.

stuff getting a OEM car with it - waste of money when you have a car already that runs fine.

Yo Chris thanks for the offer. Can u give me more info on it. The aftermarket kits I've seen around I'm not too impressed with, but if yours is good and works better, I will take you up on it. I've got a lot of time off work so can come around to you down south( I think that's where you were last time here in syd)

find the user MILLOS on here. he had one doen by me yesterday. same setup that will go into yours.

in short its a driveby wire unit spec'd by me to work with these cars. it uses the OEM V35 buttons to get the controls onthe wheel and from there looks stock.

feel wise you wont notice it kick in and it works like any other cruise int hat respect.

to date I haev done 30+ of them without hassle..

if you want real feedback on them pop a question up inthe V35 area for the NEW DBW version of cruise that I do. the last one I did was VAC based and worked well but took too much stuffing around to fit properly.

as i said I'm heading down that way debug a car in blacktown so Ican do yours then in fact I can probably do it onthe back half of that day if youare keen.

I think he will get it in about a week. Still the be confirmed but see if we can help a show once received.

Cheers

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      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.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      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
