Just a quick note on Cruise Control installs.

I've had an electric cruise control in the stagea for about 7 years now, and it has been excellent. However, when I changed to the forward facing plenum and moved the throttle I didn't bother hooking it back up again.

Now I'm driving the stag to Canberra each week I decided I needed the cruise hooked up again, so I called the guy who installed it on the number from his old card. Surprisingly, I got the same bloke, Nigel, and he was happy to come out and fix it (nice and cheap too).

So this is just a quick recommendation....if you are thinking about getting cruise control installed (or didn't know you even could), give Nigel at Cruise Control Specialists a bell. His number is zeo four 18 116 404. An electric cruise system will set you back $780 for dash mounted or $850 for stalk mounted like I have.

Nigel was professional, courteous, tidy and careful with the install, and the repair he did for me was cheaper than estimated. Can't ask for more than that :)

The control unit is the black box mounted neatly out of the way in the corner of the engine bay. Cable runs to the throttle body

Ah the ol' cruise control! Couldn't live with out it! And I'm doing the same sort of kays as Duncan is and I can't count the number of times it has saved my license (And no, I'm not illiterate you smart asses!)

Will see how my new R33 goes on the drives to Canberra and may have to give ol' Nigel a call.

Im getting a unit installed in the 34 next week, but getting someone local as I cant really get to Sydney to get it done, will see how they go. They did a great job with my car alarm a while back so I trust them to not screw it up

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
