i'd be interested to see this too. i've been doing a 2 hour commute to work on the freeway the past few weeks - RS4S - it is one of the hardest cars to maintain constant speed!

x2, in for subscription

got to drive from tas to the gold coast in a month and i'd love cruise control b4 then

looks interesting, its electronic too

some ppl said that vac operated ones won't work as well due to coming onto boost and the unit needing vac to keep the throttle open

Yeah I think electronic would be the go. Having said that, there are turbo cars that have vacuum setups. I know for sure that the 300zx tt had a vacuum setup. Keen to see how people with stags have built it into the dash.

i had a r31 skyline - it was an auto n/a from factory, i manualised it and turboed the RB30 - the vaccum controlled cruise control never missed a beat, it was as good as it ever was with the auto.

I think a DIY install is a bit risky - it's not the kind of device you'd want stuffing up on you because you wired it up or installed it incorrectly. I'm sure Chris Rogers will go into more detail in that regard when he sees this...

Anyway, CC is something I'd like to have done as well. I know Duncan has got it on his Stagea, and the thread is HERE

    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
    • I have seen enough fire and brimstone from TSBs about roloc disks causing spun bearings that foreign object contamination is top of mind for me. For sufficiently large particles you might be right but usually it’s a distribution of debris and some of the larger particles can also break down and shed bits. If local shops report RTV contamination in a turbo is enough to wreck them I’m taking zero chances if I can help it.
