Hi,

I have a standard speed cruise on my GU-Ti 4500, however since i've got the vehicle I have no idea how it works.
Looks a lot more complicated than my previous vehicles.

Have you read the owners manual?

Largey, that gear knob is pretty impressive... Where did you buy that from, I want one!

Thread dig.....
Anyone has an access to this sort of information, it seems that Nissan and Autron guard this information very well about ~$900AUD worth well. (the switch gear is worth like $150AUD).
There is absolutely no information available in Nissan manuals about cruise control on ZD30 and knowing thing or two about EDC (electronic diesel control) these normally come standard on most Bosch made EDCs.

There were problems with the Factory Cruise Control fitted to the manual/possibly auto ZD30 vehicles. It was something to do with the drive-by-wire setup. They pulled it from supply. Autron are now supplying a version that has actually been tested to replace this unit aftermarket and can be fitted to manuals from the documents i read. Someone on the forum has one, i just can't remember who it was.. may be worth a search if you are interested.

My 2000 ZD30 GU manual has aftermarket cruise control fitted. I was under the dash last week but do you think I can remember what brand it is? I do know that there is a control unit, steering wheel interface box and a conventional vacuum actuator which operates the pedal through the firewall. I will have a look at the brand and post it up.

That is well and truly a joke. The need to use an external servo which act on the accelerator pedal!?!?! WTF! Haven't they heard of EDC. Bosch EDC control units have cruise control function built in to them since 1986! All is needed are switches to send control inputs and sensors inputs (brake, clutch, speed.) This Nissan way of doing things really does my head in, what a morons!
Rant over!
