No i don't need spare audio buttons :P

what I was thinking is to get the assy from US, cost about $60-80 shipped not quite sure exact shipping cost yet, and

see if a local company like Autron can wire it to their generic vacuum cruise control unit.

chris, do you want the spare audio (left hand side of steering wheel) buttons you left in my car?

i obviously have no use for them!

I do.

Is that SCS you mean the same with either the SCS-4342 or SCS-3342 ?

3342 - electric. van version is a pain on those cars.

best if I talk you through it. you have the buttons and diagrams to wire it? ring me on monday. I'm away at my parents until then (I'm on a 28k dialup link to my shop server right now.)

No, haven't got the buttons yet, just ordered last night, was just warming up the engine n looking at the panel and tried to tweak it but won't budge. only saw two caps on both side of the steering wheel cowl which reveals 2 bolts on both side but not sure if that's where I am suppose to start.

will ring you after it arrives, possibly after the long weekend next week.

ok:

undo battery negative lead.(remember to reset your TV.)

remove cover caps from side of steering wheel.

remove two tamperproof (think they are t30)

remove air bag and pop clip out of the bag of the plug

pull plug out of air bag and set that aside.

disconnect horn wire (yellow wire that runs to steel frame.)

undo the two torx bolts that are now visible (t30 or t35) and remove assembly, careful with springs

undo 19mm nut but do not take it off.

unplug steering controls and send to me :P

wriggle wheel until it comes off.

remove 19mm nut and remove

remove 4 phillips screws and remove the rear plastic shroud, this is clipped on.

remove 4 screws from SWC and blank panel.

when you put it back together route the cruise wiring across the top of the rear cover so it doesn't foul on the horn assembly.

ring me if you get lost.

unplug steering controls and send to me :)

thank's for the instruction, didn't think it'll be that complicated just to get to the stupid blank panel :P

which one? the blank one or the new cruise control? do you need to modify anything before it will work?

also you said the harness is already pre-wired inside the steering wheel column to connect to the cruise buttons, is that right?

yep its a fun job. I want your old radio controls :) harness is wired through the clockspring but terminates on the wheel side inside the column shroud - you need the wiring diagram to pin it out and get the wiring through.

    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
    • I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?
    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
