Alkatraz Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I mistakingly thought that all 370gt SP models came with Cruise Control as standard...(should have looked closer).....Does anyone know if their is a kit that can add Cruise or if it is possible to buy the original Cruise and have it fitted to the steering wheel??? If so, what does the kit cost and approximate installation costs, or I can DIY if its not rediculously complicated.

Quick question, do you have details on how to DIY the video bypass for a reverse camera. While I would gladly love for you to do some similar work on my car it would be a long way for me to drive from Singapore..

ranlod Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 clarify that car is a custom job. Hi Chris, Being based in Singapore and with only 5 V36's on the road here iam always on the bad end of getting any custom work done as few here have experience with the car. Getting my car to brisbane is obviously out of the question. Any suggestions on the video bypass hack?

Chris Rogers Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 find the G37 service manual. that system requires the vehicle to be sitting still with the handbrake on for video to work. think about that Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/364998-adding-cruise-control-to-370gt-sp/#findComment-5851701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 done a couple of them now. its not DIY . I do one for it that involves a fair bit of work but it behaves and looks OEM. Hi Chris - is the problem with adding something like the rostra unit (which I put on my r34 without much trouble) the throttle contols on a 370? I seem to rember a picture of the engine pay and a throttle cable going to both sides... If that is the case, what does it cost for you to do one (I'm looking at getting a 370 to replace my aging r34 GTT..) and could bring it to brisbane... (pm if you like).

Chris Rogers Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 rostra is cable driven. these are electric. wont really work. 4 figure sum to do it properly.

ian Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 rostra is cable driven. these are electric. wont really work. Thanks, thought there would be an obvious reason... Mind you, I wouldn't enjoy the drive from melb to brisbane without one (I'm driving up in a few months anyway..).

bwill157 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I had cruise added to my 370GT SP (6MT) in January by Chris, it looks stock, and operates excellent. I can definitely recommend it!

ian Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 it's a shame they just didn't put it on every car - I'd never buy a car without it - as it would only add a dollar or so to the car cost as the ECU knows the speed and the ECU is doing the throttle electronically, so all it need was a small program and some buttons to press to set/reset the speed... Are all the V35 and V35 cars (ie 250gt, 350gt and 370GT) done electrically ie not by cable?

sonicii Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 it's a shame they just didn't put it on every car - I'd never buy a car without it - as it would only add a dollar or so to the car cost as the ECU knows the speed and the ECU is doing the throttle electronically, so all it need was a small program and some buttons to press to set/reset the speed... I agree, the G35, has cruise, but the V35 doesn't, the ECU is different and cruse requires aftermarket kits. Why they didn't use the same ECU and just omit the steering wheel buttons for the V35,is beyond me.. Must be a Japan thing, just about every car over the last 10 years sold here has cruise as standard, unless you buy a 'cheap' car. In Japan cruise seems to be the exception to the norm.

Nightcrawler Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I bought the drive-by-wire kit and factory V35 steeering wheel switches quite a few years ago from Chris - they work flawlessly. Highly recommended. ranlod - you have the option of paying for a flight to get Chris to singapore to work on your car - I know of a guy here in Adelaide who flew Chris down to mod his V35 sedan.

Gee Pee Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I'm in the same boat. In Sydney. Any help or contacts are much appreciated. Also the wheel is a little worn, is it easier to just get a whole new wheel with the controls already there or just get the Synergy kit and install?
