Hi guys!

Did a quick search and couldn't really find anything, so I thought i'd start a topic.

I just recently (i.e Yesterday, lol) picked up my '92 GTR from the dealer and i'm already curious about fitting cruise control. I imagine a cruise control unit isn't specific to any particular models of cars, so I was wondering whether it would be possible to hook up cruise control to the 2 radio control buttons mounted on the dash (AM/FM and Tune i think they are). Obviously the stock head unit has been replaced, and these buttons no longer function so I figured I could put them to good use.

From what I read, the R33's had cruise control, perhaps I could find and R33 control unit at a wreckers and take it somewhere to be fitted?

Is my theory along the right lines, or is CC a lot more complicated than that?

With any turbo car you need to have installed a electronic cruise control (not the ones that use vacume). These are more in price to buy and install, but anywere that sells cruise control units should be able to get them.

As for the buttons on the dash, it may be able to be dont but would cost $$$$ as the switches would have to be custom made.

I didn't know that, sounds cool. I wonder if the same parts can be used on a 32 GTR ..

Chris mentioned in his other thread that the parts appear to no longer be available from Nissan. The only way to get a factory cruise control would be to find one fitted to a car. Im unsure if all 32s use the same loom, but its probable that they did, in which case the plugs would be definitely there in the GTR as well as all the gtst models.

Cruise control was an option on R32's, it's more common on 4 doors, second hand factory cruise is awesome but very hard to find. I put factory cruise in my R32 GTR. Here's what you need to do... find a 32 with cruise.. You will need the Wiring harness that goes under the dash and into the engine bay as it is different, instrument cluster, brake switch, clutch switch, control unit, on/off switch, set/decelerate/accelerate switch, vacuum pump, vacuum reservoir, diaphragm/cable, throttle linkage and hours and hours of labour... Alternatively any aftermarket cruise will work and is easy to install, you will need a vacuum reservoir if the car is turbocharged... A speed sensor can be bought separately which bolts in between the gearbox and speedo cable, command ap 150 tends to be a good unit...

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
