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.

    • This is lower price now given apparently nobody wants these or needs them. It's 550 but if someone sees it on SAU and wants to make an offer, please do so.
    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • 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
