Hey Paul,

Keen to hear the report on your cruise control, is the drive by wire option? when I spoke to Autotainment some time ago they had only done the vacuum kit. I'd like to get this done as my next mod so if you can let me know the details, price e.t.c would be much appreciated. PM if you prefer, thanks mate.

I'm guessing your drive back home will be alot more relaxed than drive to Perth with the cruise....

Hey man! I think I saw your car this morning turning out from a side street in the city onto St Georges TCE, was that you? I was in a bus :P nice! you have the new kit yeah?

Also with your cruise control, do you have the momo steering wheel? if so what did he end up doing for you?

Hey guys

Ran into a problem with the cruise control but working to fix it.

Will let you know how it all goes when it's fixed.

Yeah i was leaving the hotel, or it was the valet driver bring my car around.

I don't have the momo wheel.

I wouldn't have a clue what type of crusie control i have. It all looks standard

yeh I'm keen to know how it ends up too, please PM me the price also.

I spoke to Autotainment also and they said it was less than an hour install and uses the factory buttons. Extremely tempted if it works well, I just want to make 100% sure it wont be a problem with the manual.

Best to talk to Chris Rogers about the manual and prices.

Welcome to Perth!

How much is all of this costing you if u dont mind me asking?

Say hi to Brian for me. He did my double din and swix pac install.

i was in perth on the weekend. He didn't get the cruise control working. Brian didn't charge me.

But it will be fixed :) Chris is going to talk my local guy through it on thursday so fingers crossed. I think the unit cost about $750 from "Chris Rogers" the man. and that was only the parts. Ask Chris first

Hey Paul,

If you dont mind me asking, what was the go with your cruise, is it now installed but not working? do you know what the issue was?

I'm seriously considering purchasing this kit and getting it installed, I was going to see Brian but no luck there?

For the crew that wanted to know about the cruise control.

It's finished now and is AWESOME! just had a faulty part but Chris sent a new one and my local guy Phil put it in, works fine :/

try it on ACCEL. it will creep up on speed first then nail the throttle if you hold it long enough.

in all its not a bad unit. wish I knew (which I will once I get the box back) what was up with the other box.

I sent teh same unit to CHCH -NZ today as well.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
