Does anyone know where I could buy some OEM cruise control switches? I'd like to install them primarily just to change maps with the UpRev reflash.

If they are the same as I supplied with my cruise controls, they cost me $77e from Nissan. Trade price is supposedly $82 according to my local parts guy, & I've heard reports of people being quoted closer to $100.

Btw, they come as a pair with the audio switches.

Theoretically, the principles are the same so if it works for a V35, then it's likely to work for a V36 as well.

Again, purely speculation based on wiring diagrams only, since I haven't got a circuit schematic or at least a spare ECU (let alone time) to take apart and examine.

^^^ it might come from the board behind the stereo, not necessarily the ECU, as a lot of the CAN bus stuff terminates there and runs off. I would extremely surprised if the wiring is not there. Have you pulled off the cruise control spot cover on your steering wheel to see if there is a plug/loom under there?

I installed one of Commsman's cruise control units with factory controls in my 05 sedan.. the connector behind the dash for the steering wheel buttons has no wires for the cruise switches..

So there is no wires from the back of M203 on a car that doesn't have CC fitted from factory.

fortunatly the spirial cable has all the conductors..

xj265... I also gained around 20rwkw... there is no comparison to stock...

My fuel economy is better, the car is much easier to drive.

Sam, how are the new extractors/HFC's? Did you get your Y-pipe replaced?

Mate, they are amazing. I got Hurricane extractors, custom 2" down pipes (almost look like Longtube headers when coupled together) with OEM cats removed and the 2.5" custom Y pipe with 2 relocated HFCs to my existing custom system. Even though it didnt make massive amounts of peak power once retuned as I expected (third gear pulled only a few extra kw) It changed the whole dynamic of the car mid range, and believe it or not, it pulls like a train down low also.

So much smoother, even going from the Uprev reflash to the front exhaust system with another retune, made it better yet again. Feels like exhaust gases arent being held hostage by that ungodly restricting OEM setup anymore. Besides, whats not to love about a screaming VQ?

It has defined the VQ note up till about 3500/4000 rpms then roars its head off. Unbelievable. Its quite loud WOT.

Thanks for all the kind words guys! We are super happy with UPREV and their product and even more happy it is giving you guys the results you want!

Some exciting news for you we are currently working with UPREV to allow Cruise control installation in non cruise control vehicles AND a seperate switch for map switching.

I can tell you that in your maps there is no currenty function for cruise control in your ecu's. It must be flashed in and turned on. We are in the process of gathering all the necessary information to make this happen so we will keep you guys informed when we know what is happening.

ALSO

We now have a bench harness on site which means you can ship us your ecu to have it flashed with a generic base map! This will require purchasing the uprev standard cable @ $330, removal of your ecu and postage backwards and forwards to the shop. This means we can help you guys without a shop close by to do your tuning. Should you wish for us to remote tune your car we can do this as well by the purchase of a Standard cable and a Cipher Cable, Once we have sent the initial flash some datalogging backwards and forwards and we should be able to generate a pretty accurate custom tune!

ALSO

I am currently in the process of reviewing a Nitrous Oxide special specifically aimed at V Series Skylines. If you guys shoot me an email if you are interested I can shoot you back some preliminary pricing this will include an UPREV reflash to suit your vehicle if it does not already have one.

The aim of the nitrous oxide is to give an intermediate step between bolt ons and a forced induction setup!

If you guys have any queries regarding the UPREV software or its features or any enquires at all please do not hesitate to shoot me an email at [email protected].

We have had great success with all the vehicles we have done so far. We are looking forward to seeing more from you guys in the future.

Cheers

Matt

^^^ Hi Matt, I don't want to be a dick about this, and we all appreciate the info, but you are treading an extremely fine line regarding paid advertising.

so does that mean I need to stock up on OEM switches?

so does that mean I need to stock up on OEM switches?

Not a bad idea, but get these ones Chris - part number 25550-AC700

They are the newer model to the ones you are/were supplying & have the option of backlighting on the buttons. They look heaps better IMO.

I didn't think of that Greg, wonder how they'll do that.

Also in regards to ECC, sending away my ECU might be a good idea considering my location.. would really like to get rid of my 180km limit and a bit better performance.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
