Hopefully mid next week I will have my hands on a 97 rs 4 dayz stagea and was wondering what the possibility of finding the factory cruise control gear would be? I've done a bit of a google search and ebay search for skyline and stagea cruise control gear but to no avail. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?

All i know is, that S1 did not have factory cruise control, so you will be looking for a cruise control unit out of an S2 and i highly doubt you will find a factory cruise control unit.

You will probably be better of going for an aftermarket item

I have one fitted by Cruisewest, it is great, use it all the time. Fairly accurate, cost $640... well worth it IMO. It is a paddle on the steering wheel. I am sure that I have saved that much money in being able to thumb my nose at police camera's. Only been done once, (motor bike cop with Laser), cause I got pissed off by a slow driver, and overtook on freeway with foot on floor, luckily the cop only got me for 111km/h...... if he'd been a bit quicker...... well let's just say that the std brakes are fine from about 160km/h...., so although cruise control's don't stop you speeding...... they sure help. I like to use mine in the 40km/h school zones, as well as normal 60km/h zones.... it's so funny watching how many people get pissed off, (behind me). Then I can feel smug... cause all I have to do is boot it..... but as confucious say.... real power is having the power but choosing not to use it. (yeah so you've got an SV8...... who cares?... whooosh!) :laughing-smiley-014:

For info check out http://www.autron.com.au/newweb/index1280.htm

and just for Hugh, they have fitters all over the country..... tell them that they will have to fit an auxiliary brake switch though.

here's what it looks like....

(it's a Nissan Xtrail, but it is similar)

Oh BTW... Nissan in their wisdom, never fitted a cruise control (not even in the Prime edition ....how stupid!!) ...maybe 'cos most JDM cars never got over 50km/h..... or run for more than a few kms!!!

Yeah do a search, Ian sused out a great one aaages ago, I started a thread on this very subject and it has heaps of info in it. :P

yep - go find the thread as we talked about it a bit and it has pictures of mine in it. Mine is a rostra global one (from memory) - the important things are 1) it is electric (NOT VACUUM!) and 2) the controller talks to the unit via RF, so you don't need to run wires up the steering wheel etc, or use one of those stupid stalk ones. Also means I can theoretically unclip it and hand it to the wife in the passenger seat and she can press the up/down speed buttons till she is happy with how fast we are going.. :-)

Got the same units in the r34 and Stagea, never had a problem. And I sometimes do over a 1000km's in a day, so it gets used!

I installed this on my Skyline and then onto my S2 Stagea, as used by Nissan on some models, infrared unit on steering wheel, electric unit, as said before, dont get vacuum. Bought from Autobarn, installed myself, little fiddly to calibrate just right, but once thats over, it is bulletproof, and has a factory look about it. Also bolted straight into the existing throttle body setup.

I tend to use the electric ones on these cars - less hassle to set up properly and no vac lines to cut. not a fan of command. too fiddly. have used tge RF rostra item as well. (good for Daewoo..)

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including.

      If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s.

      Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.

      Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
