Got one up in the shed to fit on the 32 when I get time.

Didn't think a vacuum style CC would work on a boosted engine but PM'd a bloke on GTROC and his car is working great.

Not an AP60 but a modded Nissan vacuum style CC on a 33 GTR.

Pretty sure Chris will have CC on his 32 too when it rolls out.

His install would be worth a look.

Vac style CC system should work with a Vac resevior and a 1 way valve. So it will hold x amount of vacum while your on boost which when your doing cruise speeds shouldnt be very long

An electronic system would probably be better but Vac system should still work

Should have mentioned, the one I have in the shed was previously on my son's turbo diesel Patrol, so I'm aware they work but wasn't sure if they'd be as stable as a stepper motor style.

Not a problem, it worked fine.

But the magnetic speed pickup is very corny, worth investigating if the stock signals can be used instead.

Also the control switches really look like a cheap add-on.

They offer gearstick knob buttons or a heap of other options, but they cost as much as the AP60 again.

The fact it was on a turbo diesel doesn't really mean it well work on a turbo petrol car. Diesels have no throttle butterfly and therfore produce no manifold vacuum. They use a vacuum pump to make the power brakes work. Anyway, tginking about it, vls had a vacuum caniater to store vacuum, and didnt really boost much when cruising, but an rb25 at highway speeds would produce boost when altering speed, so not sure if it would work correctly.

They seem heaps expensive for what they are.

I see what you mean, this is why I'd PM'd the chap in GTROC to check how his 33 GTR worked and it was fine.

2JZtt Aristo also has a vacuum cruise and it's nice and stable. (once you mod the electronics to make it work over 100kph).

That poor little diesel, the Rd28 turbo has a throttle butterfly to pull a vacuum on overrun for the anti pollution gear, EGR etc.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
