Welcome to zdriver.

On the left side of the gauge cluster, above the headlight switch, there should be a cruise control button. Push that button. A light illuminate on the button. Once that is lit you can engage the cruise control. The controls are on the right side of the steering column. The lever can be pushed up or down and pulled back towards you. Enjoy.

Also, when you turn the dash switch on, a green light should come on on the dash by the speedo. The short lever on the steering wheel is used like 91 said. Move it down to set the initial cruise. another green light on the dash should illuminate when you do this. After you set the cruise, you can again move the lever down to coast, move it up to cancel, and pull back towards you to accelerate.

It's been so long since I used it, but I don't think the green light by the speedo comes on until you engage the cruise control. I don't think it turns on when you push the button.

I thought all of them came with cruise. This is a Z32 we're talking about, right? What year is your car? If you can, please post a picture of the dash.

From my experience, there is two different types of steering wheels and both have different ways to activate cruise control. Of course there is the cruise control "on/off" switch, but on the models with the airbag, there is a lever on the right side of the steering column that activates the cruise. If it is the one without SRS, then it is on the steering wheel itself and is just a matter of pushing a button.
