Tried to install it in a 2003 frontier today and after 8 hrs its still a no go :(....went to rostra and looked up the frontier it said the tach wire was a 2 pin connecter BLACK/ red wire at the distributor. I found a connecter in front of the distributor with the black and red wire on an hook the blue wire to it. Then it said the brake wires were + RED / yellow ...-RED / green...but they werent, the only two wires there were BROWN / red....RED / black...so i tested them and sure enough they were the wires but not the color told by rosta...So now I'm wondereing if the tach wire is the right one. Does anyone know what the tach wire is for a 2003 frontier? Also how exactly does the throttle hookup do its job?....as the trottle is pulled back by the peddle does the servo take in the slack in the cruise cable? I'm not understanding the mecanics of it....Any help would be great...Sully

If you are unsure how to do the cruise DON'T do it. You would be smart to find a qualified criuse installer to do it for you. Throttle hook ups can be very dangerous if done incorrectly. The throttle could easily get stuck in the full on position and cause an accident or worse. The Rostra website lists throttle adaptors for either the 4 or 6 cylinder motors. These must be used and come with clear insructions and pictures on their proper installation. If the instructions are followed exactly you shouldn't have any problems.

next time use a SCS/Frigette cruise.
It works better and is easier to install

Ground the tach wire unless it's a manual tranny. You, with out a doubt will need a VSS wire. I really hope you have the 250-1223 instead of an Audiovox cruise.

Was there a need to hook up a vacuun?

The Nissan will require a pedal pull application.
