Hi all,
Thought I would fill you in on a simple issue that I've probably spent too many hours working on a fix. Since I installed my new fuel pump and turbo the factory cruise in the GU is way too sensitive, it over accelerates then over compensates in the other direction constantly. Makes you motion sick if you're sitting on the highway.
In my searching I couldn't find an easy fix, only people installing a whole new cruise unit. I don't mind a challenge and haven't needed to drive the patrol much so I really wanted to try and find a way to fix the factory unit.
I don't know if anyone will get any use out of this but I thought I'd share anyway. I've already tried a few things so I'll probably break it up over a few posts.
FIRST ATTEMPT:
Thought I'd start simple and hopefully kill two birds with one stone.
My speedo has always been out by about 10km/h so ordered and installed an electronic speedo calibration mod. I know you can change the little gear in the box but this probably took a similar time to install and now if I ever want to adjust it, it's super simple. It also has a sensitivity adjustment "sensitive" and "normal", i thought this might fix my problem as well

This fixed my speedo but not my cruise. (I need to come back to this one though because I just recently worked out that I think I've installed it upstream of the cruise unit.. ie the unit still sees the speed straight from the box)
