Well I was looking at a mates relatively new Maxima (last years model) and noticed that his steering wheel looks like mine, then I noticed that his cruise control buttons pop out of the left side of the steering wheel and took a look and on my steering wheel there is a place where the plastic is marked which looks like it would be an exact fit for the cruise control module.

So can we order a cruise control from nissan australia and will it work?

Group buy maybe?

If so, I know what you want...

I'm putting mine on in the next few weeks - and I'm going to put on the same one as I put on my R34 ie the Rostra Global one. It's all electric (so no touching the vacuum hoses, which is a good thing), has the buttons on a RF connected thing (so no wires up the wheel etc) (not to mention you can clip it off the wheel and give it to the wife to set the speed :-) and keeps speed better than any I've used before - much better than any factory standard one I've used...

I'll take some photo's of the one I put in the R34 and stick them up.

Sounds like a winner Ian!

If it is all electric, is it compatible with other replacement electrics, such as EBC's and PowerFC's?

Oh and ball park figure for costs?

Yep, compatible with anything... It simply has to plug into the speedo wire (to get the pulse), and then it has a electric motor (which is why it is called an electric cruise control) that goes over to your throttle and controls it. Works fantastically.

I had mine installed for me (ok, I'm slack) and can't remeber the cost - somewhere around $500 from memory. You can get cheaper ones, but the aren't as good...

So Ian, have you got a contact for where we could source these from? I dont mind doing some ringing around, looks like there might be 2 or 3 of us here who might want one.

Unfortunatly I wont be looking at buying mine till the new year though.

Last time I looked around it was about $100 cheaper than getting installed by the local auto electrician, I just gave it to him to do instead...Can't remember where that was though (just buying the unit), and for the cheapest price you'd get it off the net from the USA.

If you like, I'll get the exact model number off the one in my R34.

Sorry, been a bit busy...

The rostra unit (with the rf remote) -

The remote just clips to the side of the steering wheel -

IMG_5604.jpg

The control box goes on top of the ABS unit, with the throttle cable looped around -

IMG_5601.jpg

And here is the actual unit numbers -

IMG_5603.jpg

so you need -

1) The RF remote

2) the control box

3) the right throttle cable

4) (for a manual) the clutch switch.

Hey Ian, does it just sit there? How has it been secured?

If you look at the top of your abs unit you'll see it has bolt holes in it to secure things on top... So Nissan must have expected something to go there!

I'll take another photo tommorrow of that..

Ian

Well brace yourselfs..............

Called up a couple of places and best price was ~$750 fully installed. Was kinda shocked and was really busy at work, so didnt ask for a price for just the unit but. That price is for manual and with the RF controller........

Wont be getting cruise control for a while for me :D

Hmm lucky mine came with it already installed!

I find the system to be quite ok, infact, its pretty damn accurate/good from the other four cruise controls i have used

http://www.autron.com.au/newweb/index1280.htm

The only single gripe i have with it. If i am cruising and i put the gearstick from D to N, the engine revs up unless i press the brakes. Apart from that, meh. With the manual coming, i dont see myself shifting while i cruise anyway.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
