Cruise control....??

[Bob]

The main issue for the kz is that it is a mechanical throttle, so an actuator would be required to operate cruise, as opposed to the kd being fly-by-wire so a simple electronic signal does that job. I would hazard that chopping parts off an 80 might be possible, but that's based on nothing but a thought... a level of work that's just not worth it if you ask me.

Cruise is brilliant, and I love having it on my kd, but if it wasn't a straightforward job, I probably wouldn't have done it

5VZ is a mechanical throttle. Could they have used the same actuator for both the 1KZ and the 5VZ?
