I was at my local Autobahn on Sunday and noticed that they sell 2 cruise control (1 brand, 2 diff models).

1 runs of sensors on your accellerator pedal and the other connects into your ecu and pulses the speed signal wire.

The 2nd 1 was ~$420 + $160 installation.

I have no idea what brand it was but I read thru the brochure and it seemed fine.

When you're shopping around for them, check out the cruise cancel functions. In your family car it prob cancels on clutch pedal, brake pedal, or cancelling on the unit itself.

Only reason I'm throwing in my 2.2c is because a workmate had an accident in the wet where the car (nothing stupid happened, it was a AU Falcon on the F3) fishtailed after it aquaplaned, and then the transmission shat itself as he was travelling backwards (as in car did 180 turn) and the ECU was still trying to maintain 110kmh. Turns out it was his aftermarket cruise did not have effective cancelling switches installed. Apologies if the story is a bit vague, it happened a while ago.

I have an auscruise unit fitted to my R32 gtst. Autobarn Elizabeth fitted it. I bought the unit on one of their 20% off days, but all up fitted cost around $550 i think. I had lots of problems getting it to cruise smoothly though. Would hunt for speed (ie accelerate through, then off throttle, deccelerate back through set speed) was real annoying. Car went back about 5 times until they set the unit up right that it cruises nicely. Just reacts slowly, unlike a factory fitted unit. So basically make sure they have the ability to reprogram the control module, to suit the car. I think i had so much problem because of how touchy the throttle is when cruising (ie 110km or so).

      I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
