i'd be interested to see this too. i've been doing a 2 hour commute to work on the freeway the past few weeks - RS4S - it is one of the hardest cars to maintain constant speed!

x2, in for subscription

got to drive from tas to the gold coast in a month and i'd love cruise control b4 then

looks interesting, its electronic too

some ppl said that vac operated ones won't work as well due to coming onto boost and the unit needing vac to keep the throttle open

Yeah I think electronic would be the go. Having said that, there are turbo cars that have vacuum setups. I know for sure that the 300zx tt had a vacuum setup. Keen to see how people with stags have built it into the dash.

i had a r31 skyline - it was an auto n/a from factory, i manualised it and turboed the RB30 - the vaccum controlled cruise control never missed a beat, it was as good as it ever was with the auto.

I think a DIY install is a bit risky - it's not the kind of device you'd want stuffing up on you because you wired it up or installed it incorrectly. I'm sure Chris Rogers will go into more detail in that regard when he sees this...

Anyway, CC is something I'd like to have done as well. I know Duncan has got it on his Stagea, and the thread is HERE

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • 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
