Quality of the kit is excellent, and was installed nicely.

The 'ON' LED is mounted next to where my VDC button is so that you can notice it but its not glaring in your eyes.

And the guys there are real easy to deal with, nothing is a hassle.

Did you ever get your audio controls setup and working Leon?

It's on the to-do list. Will connect them next time the centre console comes out.

Nice one. On my to do list is to fix the cruise control. Wires to the buttons seem to have popped out and now I can't seem to get it to turn on... Weird...

Audio controls would be nice but I have an aftermarket head unit anyway so not sure if it would take the inputs.

In any event I could always retrofit the switches at a later time, thanks for your input guys will post up with how it goes.

A lot of A/Mkt head units have the ability to work with steering wheel controls. You connect the wires & follow a learning procedure (just a different resistance value for each operation). Worthwhile checking if yours will work, but you're right, you can retrofit in the future. Let us know how it turns out.

Do you have any units left Leon?

Somewhere I have 1 unit which is/was being held as the warranty spare. Someone wanted it but I forget who now, & they haven't paid nor contacted me. I must find it one day & sell it to someone....

So Freeway Car Audio decided they couldn't do a drive by wire Stagea (meaning an M35) and I ended up buying Chris Rogers cruise control.

Installed it today with some guidance from Scotty and a phone call to Chris, instructions were good and it was actually remarkably plug and play but don't take that to mean it was a walk in the park.

I wouldn't advise doing it solo without some research first and/or someone who can navigate underneath the dash of a Stag. Having done it once I'm sure either Scotty or myself could do it in an hour so drop us a PM if you need some guidance.

The unit itself is a neat fit into the car, functionally it's not quite as refined as one might expect from the factory but is nevertheless a good unit that gives basic cruise functionality (set, resume, accel, decel, cancel). I would recommend it to any others who may search up this post in the future. Thanks again to Scotty and Chris.

Should have followed the instructions Leon posted on m35stagea.info. Not too hard at all, just a bit of a pain.

Ironic I know, it was the DIY install that scared me away initially hence setting up the thread.

Now I can drive to Sydney nice and easy, can't wait to see just how good the fuel economy will be when you don't have to stop/start. I'm hoping for 10L/100km, really depends on whether it's boosting or not at 110km/h.

      Is r33 gtr steering wheel the same as the gtst?

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      The steering wheel on my 97 s3 gtr is a little bit worn out, so im on the hunt for something mint. I notice that this type of steering wheel is on several other nissan's of the era.  Does anyone know if their all identical, or are there slight differences? I feel like gtr tax applies to anyone selling one, but if it comes from any other car the price is much less, even though its the same design.  Chat gpt says the material for the gtr is slightly different and it says gtr on the wheel, but every pic ive seen it just says nissan.

      Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...
