Howdy,

 

I purchased a cruise control module from Audio Express in 2014, who installed it, however now, whenever the accelerate pedal does anything while in cruise control it send the car into limp mode.  

Since Chris is no longer at audio express and doesnt accept messages, does anyone have any idea how to fix it? Or did i burn nearly $800 for temporary cruise control?

You might have blown the fuse of the cruise controler or a bad earth

His cruise control is working so fuse is intact, the installation is interfering with inputs to his ECU or TCU hence why diagnostics should start with consult, then you have a starting point and NOT a guessing point

No.  Surely not!

The CC I have in mine basically splices into the throttle pedal sensor, so the CC just simulates the throttle input, if yours is the same, then I suspect either the CC unit is faulty, or the wiring harness used by the CC has bad connections.

Mine went into limp mode on hard right turns at one point and it turned out to be a bad crimp on the CC harness, I removed the connectors and soldered all the connectors and the problem never occurred again.

      Short shifter r34

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      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?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      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.
