Can anyone shed some light on this for me..

If you have a car with cruise control can you change the steering

wheel to an aftermarket one without any hassels?, not to sure if the cruise control accel/decel stalk/lever is actually attatched to the steering wheel or not? it doesn't have an airbag etc.

Any feed back would be good!

Some R33 do have cruise control as a factory option (I have the JPNZ R33 User Manual).

I would say it's very rare in coupes and more likely to be found in sedans as the sedan buyers would considerably want more luxury options in their cars. On the other hand, many 300ZX do come with cruise control.

never seen the super cheap auto ones, but i bet they are super cheap :P

im going the factory look. i like quality toys :P theres another company that does cruise control, i'll dig it up, and they have the steering wheel mounted ones.

the rostra seems like they endorse the stem and the steering control unit is an addon or something.

I had a cheapo one in my old car and it worked fine.

It got a bit confused when there were lots of hills (steep up, then steep down), but I think that may have had a lot to do with the car not having the greatest of power :P

My old car was a manual, and it took the signal from the tacho output. So when you set the speed, it would try and hold 'X' amount of revs in closed loop with the throttle.

It scared the crap out of me the first time I used it. Went into a 70km/h corner doing 115km/h !!! And in my old car that was very scarey ;)

But you get used to them very fast :P

I didnt realise this post came back to life!

Cruise control would be kool in the SSS but i don't really need it.

Like my orginal question says

The reason i asked was, my V6 Galant has cruise control standard.

I want to change the Std steering wheel as the leather is abit worn but the cruise control settings/stalk is attatched to the steering wheel.

Just wanted to find out if anyone knew weather or not the cruise control buttons etc can be relocated to somewere else (ie a spare swtich /button in the dash of the car which most have)

TWO40 - cruise is great, i drove upto QLD in Feb with it and back too.

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
