Yeah man I understand. Can I buy the parts seperate or any you getting through somewhere special that the public can't buy from?

Cheers Gav.

Hi Gav, the cruise units are bought from the manufacturer but via a buyer in another country where the market isn't stitched up. If the factory gets wind of them coming down under, then I don't get any product & I lose my money :O . They place loyalty to their dealer network very highly. That's all fine, except to have the Aust distributor sell/install one costs up to $1000 (depending where you are). And that doesn't include the steering wheel controls, which really make this kit IMO.

Hi all those who have expressed interest in a cruise control recently. Stag123 (above) wanting 2 has put the number into the realm of possibility.

I'll message everyone in due course to confirm details & will post updates as they come to hand.

I've started the process by emailing my supplier tonight.

Cheers

Leon.

Hi Leon, if this kit includes everything needed (steering buttons, stalk and cruize control unit) for $490 I am definitely in for 1 kit.

Cheers,

The kit does include everything (both stalk & steering buttons etc) but unfortunately won't be $490 this time.

There is a lot of extra work for me in making the wiring harness, providing help/advice for installs & (not least of all) a fair bit of risk in ordering & paying for these (see earlier post) that I believe earns me the right to make a little money this time.

The price won't be set until I know what they will cost me landed on Oz but, given the exchange rate is still pretty good, I anticipate it will be less than $600 delivered. That is still excellent value IMO (especially if you DIY), given the quality of the CC (fully customisable) & with the backlit buttons. But if that puts it out of reach for anyone, please feel free to let me know.

Too right Leon; no one expects you to be a charity, well & truly entitled to something for all your hard work, and after sales assistance.

To anyone thinking of doing this; it is a purchase that pays you back every time you drive. It is a beautifully integrated system, and Leons backup is second to none.

Leon spent loads of time walking me through the install & setup of my kit, and made the whole job so much simpler, I can't recommend him highly enough.

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
