... and I now have functioning cruise control! Will serve nicely for my upcoming 8 hour drive interstate. Thanks again @76lcmike for finding and sharing the part that makes the magic possible :D Felt better about my lack of knowledge when the auto elec I asked about it also assumed speed...

Thanks Leonard for feedback. Sorry your noise persists =( My first 1990 VX never had the noise. I've read like every piece of literature on the internet now about car sounds, and while I'm no closer to knowing what causes it, I'm now certain it's not from inside the cabin. I've pinpointed...

Noise persists with no instrument cluster installed whatsoever, and discounted boost gauge as possible culprit... This really just leaves the cruise control ECU (cruise not turned on, so this shouldn't be live, or have moving parts), some of the AC control electronics (again, shouldn't have...

Anyone have luck in identifying their noise? This seems like the closest description to one I've been chasing for many years. Pulled the exhaust fan in dash out yonks ago as couldn't see it doing anything useful since it just vents straight into the bulkhead (and needed extra space for cabling...

Anyone got pics with their middle-row positioned fridge? I'd played with this idea years back but wasn't sold. Love to see which way around you position your friges and how much room there is access into/around them

My fridge is on driver side on the drawers with one of the slides that lowers down on to the tailgate since there's no space to reach what's in the fridge otherwise. Main motivation for this choice was that side of the drawers is a fixed lid, while the passenger slide can have the top slide...

unfortunately as per my post, I cannot order the one that's a guaranteed fit - and the one for earlier builds I'm not sure of the differences :( Think this will be a wrecker hunting job

Do i just need to find a wrecked one and hope its spring has more life in it?

Hi 80 series owners. I've a 1990 VX with the hand throttle cable that attaches to the top of the accelerator rod. Recently and for no good reason, the pedal stopped returning to the un-pressed resting spot. Took the pivot mount off the firewall and had a play around, and realised the...

Legend, thanks Madcrix! It was about 3 years ago I last looked into my cruise control issue. Pretty sure I found all the instructions on how to enter diagnostic mode on here - something like holding in the cruise set button while turning the ignition to get it started, then just following...

Those control panels seem to be worth like $300, so if you can get em both going properly, either got some pocket money or a handy spare! Hope it's something that simple :D

Hello sirs, I hope your cruise controls are all working well still and you never had to think about this again... however if you happen to spot this thread, I would appreciate some help with identifying what I would be plugging the sensor into. First the ground work: 1990 HDJ80R 1HDT Auto VX...

Hey all, little thread about my experience with actuators in the cooling system in case it helps someone else down the track. Some of the info may exist elsewhere, my specific solution seemed to be unique, perhaps owing to impossibility of sourcing replacement actuator as a whole. Started...

Hey Gerry, Might be way too late, but I'm playing around with my AC after stripped gears in the A/C blend actuator became too annoying and pulled the dash to investigate. Found that my recirc/fresh door wasn't actuating even though the controls would change the light when the button was...

That's the timing belt reset switch I guess... so probably I just have the wrong speed sensor and need to get a new one + run the wire up to ECU if I can find it
