bose and non-bose 6 stacker integrated stereos it WILL work with. as i said above.

and there are adaptors for aftermarket head units, however it will NOT work with the single DIN RS head unit.

I for one love my factory cruise around town- the radar function works well as long as you set the distance to minimum, otherwise you constantly get cars cutting in and the cruise puts the brakes on to try to maintain the gap. Impatient frickin tossers in Perth!

But, and this is a big but, the 110 top speed is a pita. Real terms it's 103-104, and on the country runs it's a bit frustrating. I've thought about various options like modifying the speed signal but it's just too complicated and integrated into the running of the car. I bought a cheapo (by this car's standards!) throttle modifier which changes the throttle response, but only for the cruise function it has, which of course doesn't work on my car. Apparently it will work on M35's without the factory cruise. Typical.

Leon- does the new unit you've got work in a factory cruise equipped car? I may be interested if it does...

The one I've found does have it's limits re set speeds - you can't set it below approx 40 and it stops above 250 - for safety reasons lol.

I can't see why it wouldn't work instead of your factory cruise. You'd have to disconnect your buttons & connect them to this one. It has a harness that plugs into the pedal assembly, just like your throttle modifier, so that would probably have to go too. (Just thinking about that, it may work but you'd have a tower of plugs on top of your pedal & the modifier might make the cruise control too sensitive, ie surge, if it was set to a sharp 'sport' curve - but you could give it a try if you want).

Of course you wouldn't get the cool radar function, but it sounds like that can be a bit annoying anyway.

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
