Cruise control buttons for Momo tuner wheel

[gcon45]

I did away with cruise control when I switched to the Momo tuner wheel but have been thinking of late about restoring the function.

Is it difficult to do? It's been that long since I had the wheel off I can't remember what's involved in terms of wiring.

I am looking at getting these Sparco buttons:

Thoughts?

Get with Sudesh and he should be able to sort you out.

he is your best shot and he done the modification on mine as you know ... be interesting to see if you can get these fitted; looks like a decent compromise for sure

the old CC is very handy ... or i am getting too old

Good luck!

Easy to do, have a look on Prime, I'm sure I remember a post with pictures on how to do it.

found this Connor

bit crude but looks like all the info u need!

As NSXGB mentioned, it’s easy.

The diagram above will only work if you kept the cable reel on the car.

If you have removed the cable reel, please look at post #3 in the following link;
http://www.nsxcb.co.uk/showthread.php?6367-2002-Type-R-Steering-wheel-with-OEM-boss


At the very end of post #3, you will find the connection info about the Set/Resume feature.

All you need is the high side signal (+12V) into the Set or Resume terminal when the switch is pressed.


If you are placing the switch around the steering wheel and if you have kept the 6pin in-line yellow connector (the last photo in post #3 above) under the steering column, the input terminals are already there.


On non-DBW model, the Cruise Control (CC) is done through the Auto Cruise controller behind the passenger glove box so if you are thinking of installing the CC switch away from the steering wheel, you can also run the cable from the controller instead.

On DBW model, it is done through the ECU but the switch input logic is the same.

I think Sudesh posted somewhere in the past showing the OEM switches relocated into the centre console switch panel behind the shift lever.
UK spec NSX may struggle to place the switch there [Edit: if all four slots were used up].


If you want to simplify the installation, you can just install the Set switch.
If you haven’t replaced your lower steering wheel/column cover, you should see half moon shape opening at the left side. You can install low height flat switch almost hidden there to keep the OEM like view.

UK spec NSX may struggle to place the switch there as there is no space left.

Not on facelift UK NSX!

Also I've done the same install for an owner with pre-facelift UK NSX, he wanted to do away with those old front fogs and never used headlight wash, so I made the new panel to suit.

Facelift UK cars don't have 4 buttons, they only have 2, so simple there.

[Kaz-kzukNA1]

Thank you for pointing it out to me, Sudesh.
I have modified my original post.

Can’t remember the spec of gcon45’s NSX but hope he can achieve his goal with these info.

Kaz

[gcon45]

Many thanks for the replies!

Couldn't be simpler.

I think I'll go with set and resume buttons simply for the symmetry of having both.

Thanks again!

Thanks guys for the mention!

Conor I've seen those sparco things in the flesh, and to be honest I thought it looked real cheap and tacky.

No problem Kaz!

Conor's car is facelift UK model.

Hmmm. Might wait to find better ones in that case Sudesh. I'm in no rush anyway.

Carbon fibre would be nice...

Procar has just released a set of CF brackets for cruise control fitment .... http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php/36427-Procar-Specials-NSX/page61?p=1665869&viewfull=1#post1665869

Now they look smart. Just have to sell another kidney to afford one.

[britlude]

you could always buy a piece of carbon fibre sheet, like this, from 'kitcarbon' on the 'bay

and cut it out .... just wear a mask!

Might go for the Sparco ones and get them dipped:

Argyle plastic, lovely..

Tempted to switch from the 350mm Momo tuner wheel to the 320mm.

Anyone done this?

I'm 6'2 and the 350mm wheel almost touches my thighs even at full adjustment.

There's something attractive about a smaller wheel too. Takes me back to my 2 stroke karting days!

[Senna88]

I would love to change wheels to the momo tuner, but the lack of an airbag and a near OEM way of retaining the cruise control puts me off. I might just end up getting my wheel retrimmed and ask them to add a bit more padding as I find the size ok really.

[bbvnsx]

I like this one :)

Thats awesome! Where is that wheel from?

I think I'm gonna stick to the 350mm Momo Tuner and fit a spacer.

I think it was a custom job from a company in japan... not sure... but i think it was being offered for sale on yahoo.jp...

You can read more here:

[Senninha]

Yes it is a Japanese project, offered in various finishes as an update to the OEM wheel on a core exchange basis ... a couple of years ago it was ~ £700

An alternative option is this ...

11670

Which works well for me ... its the S2k VGS wheel ...

[Nick Graves]

I hate flat-bottomed wheels - especially with twirly steering.

Bear in mind you'll need a USDM S2K wheel for the buttons, although I believe the module can be screwed on. Quite popular with 'Luders, that conversion.

[drmikey]

These are quite useful for adding functions to a race steering wheel:

I agree Nick, I have one on the Audi, what a waste of time!

Sorry, but just looks terrible to me, cheap and boy racer looking; I've see these fitted in the lower position too, little better but just wouldn't be my thing at all. We all have our own tastes though.

[nobby]

hi mate

is this your car?

If it is ... i have to admit I am a bit shocked ... thought they would be more discreet than this!!!

Dont think I could live with that if honest; it does look rather out of place and dare i say it tacky

certainly NOT befitting to your car Conor

[Hagasan]

Are your machine guns fitted in the bumper centre vent or, one each side in the smaller ones?:)

[NSX 2000]

Dam it Gary! You beat me to it!

I don't think it looks bad but it does look like the buttons for the machine guns on a spitfire.

[gcon45]

Meeeaooow!

Shot to pieces! :)

[Senninha]

Reverse them so the buttons are at the bottom and it wouldn't look as bad IMO ...

[Sudesh]

Just need to fit NOS now and enter fast and furious race lol

Good idea and out of the way of the gauges that way

Nos? pah... Cruise control? No way... The buttons control DRS and KERS!

[Sudesh]

I already mentioned that lol

Seen that done too, still doesn't look great, but that's just my opinion, its like something you see on a drift car.

[nobby]

conor

why not do the cc mod that Sudesh done for on the centre console?

[TheSebringOne]

I was going to say they look like NOS buttons, but I was slow!

Why don't you take your air fresheners that are dangling from your interior mirror off? It's not a Ford Capri! :)

Nah, I'm not under the precious illusion that the NSX is a classy car. It's a garish road-going 80's F1-lite car and F1 cars have boy racer controls on their steering wheels!
