Just bought a PLX bluetooth OBD II reader (http://www.plxkiwi.com/kiwibluetooth/), however upon further reading it seems that import Nissan's do not comply with OBD II standards and will require Consult III equipment. I've also read that the Blatz and Conzult systems don't work either.

I've seen some Consult III software for sale on ebay (apparently for educational purposes, who knows), which can be installed on any laptop. However my question is, would this software work with the standard ELM327 interface cable? Or would I need a special Consult III cable and hardware? From what I can see the connectors are the same, however I think the pin outs are slightly different... maybe some tweaking could see it work?

What do you guys think?

I've been looking at these since you started talking about them.

At that price I could probably justify one.

Sorta correct :down:

True Blatz and Conzult won't read our cars... but you shouldn't need Consult 3. I have read my car using the older Consult 2, no problems.

The Informeter is pretty cool though and will undoubtedly cost you less than if you can find a Consult 2

I've seen Consult II readers on ebay for around 30 bux, but I was under the impression Consult II didn't work?? Or does a genuine Nissan Consult system actually work as opposed to china copies? What software did you run?

Its definately Consult II, however I cant confirm if a chinese rip off will suffice - but the workshop manuals DEFINITELY only mention Consult II. Though at $30, its not an expensive endeavour to find out if the cheapies will work

all the M35 models will work AFAIK except for anything that is VQ25DET equipped. we have a rare ECU that is only shared by one or two other cars (not nissans)

Unfortunately true (as far as I know too)... yay for us :P

is m35 significantly different to v35? (no longer sharing engine etc like r34/c34?) cause the v35 is on the blazt.II compatibility list

As they said. Our ECU is an Orphan.. We wish it was simpler. Would make getting a reflashed ECU much easier than it has been to date.

I physically tried the Blatz on my car and no go.

Yep, you're right, they were only consult I ;) . However I checked again and there seems to be Consult II scanners for around the $300 mark... but for an extra $100 the touch informeter would probably be a better buy, nice packaging etc. But, then again... for proper diagnostics, you can't go past the scanner. Hmm... what to do....

      Rear suspension upgrades

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info

      It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.
