sorry, forgot to mention. best bet atm would be here: http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...dpost&p=2029107

i believe caz is on sau under same username...she'll probably be able to offer same deal to sau people (on the off chance she wont, cant be hard to sign up on ns.com, although it might make you feel dirty). you need a serial interface, not usb

i've downloaded the software and i think i will try the setup using the cable from caz ($130) coupled to a "USB A female to mini USB male" adaptor (can be had for AUS$5 + postage on ebay)

as its an O2 XDAII mini, the only cable input i have is mini USB at the bottom of the device (www.see02.com)

if this doesn't work then i've no idea how to connect it!

here's to hoping it works on my PDA, and i'll be one very happy man who will definately donate something to the author of the software

cheers,

Warren

no! i said you need serial consult interface! the chips used in the usb interface dont have drivers for pocket pc. serial will be cheaper, see the link i posted up top of this page, $100 delivered for the serial version.

if you get the usb version you will not be able to use it on your pda, only your laptop.

if there is no way to connect serial device to your pda, then you can get a FTDI chipped usb-serial adaptor - it has drivers for pocket pc. so even if you are to use a usb connection to your pda, you still need the serial interface. if your PDA has a host usb port (can you, for example, plug in a usb keyboard/mouse etc?) then you can probably use a ftdi usb-serial converter. you can probably borrow a ftdi usb-serial converter i made to test it out (ill need it back though) if it works, then i can either make you one, or find a place for you to get one.

ok so..

consult to serial cable from caz ($100)

then

null moden and seral sync cable? or just serial sync cable? (available from ebay i unerstand..)

seriously man, think of it as if i know nothing and then try to explain it to me..!

i cant guarantee itll work, but you most likely need this (if i was in your situation id just buy these and find out, serial sync and null modem dont cost much)

your o2 xda II pda (check!)

xda 2 serial sync (here)

null modem (here)

serial consult interface (here)

nissan consult capable car! (lets hope ur r32 wasnt manufactured before nov 89...)

should work on windows mobile 2003 (a lot better than it will on earlier versions :whistling: ) - just follow install instructions, youll need the .net compact framework etc.

good luck!

the above order is also how u connect it up. ie pda->serial sync->null modem->serial consult interface->car's consult plug in fuse box area

you may want to buy this from the same ebay seller (combine postage):

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/USB-SYNC-CHARGER-KI...oQQcmdZViewItem

so u have a car charger for it.

Edited by NewKleer

already have a cig lighter car charger :whistling:

ok i have a new issue

seeing as i have a 92 r32, i just assumed i could find the consult plug

however, coldn't find anything hanging under the dash.

Where would it be if it wasn't hanging?

I assume nissan wouldn't just hang the plug down. rather plug it in to something when its not being used..

does someone have a close-up of the plug?

cheers,

Warren (computer-illiterate idiot)

for those others outside of the know-how, here is a terrible pic of the fuse box that i took with my PDA whilst holding a small torch.

the consult plug sits attached to the top left corner of the fuse box

(this is on an R32 GTSt)

Hey Guys, I am happy to supply the serial ecu interface cables you need for NewKleers PDA software, you dont need to sign up to NS.com! hahaha

$100 posted anywhere in Australia.... :cool:[email protected] email me for acct details if you wish to order.

I'll put an add in the for sale section too and NewKleer...hows about putting a link in your cable kit add that isnt happenning now so people can find what they need to get your software happenning.

Would your software work with my ecuXtend cables NewKleer ??? They are lots simpler and supply power to my PDA too.

Its great to see this all unfolding, exciting stuff

Cheers Caz.. :P

yeh ill stick a link there for anyone who finds there way to the old diy kit group buy thread.

not sure about how the ecuxtend cables are setup - main issue being im not sure how the shift light thing is connected. cant hurt, just try it and see.

This may seem like a silly question, and it probably has been answered before, but despite checking out computer errors, clearing them and seeing realtime sensor outputs, does the software you're making allow for any manipulation of the computer software? (I don't even know if it's possible) IE: I've heard of people being able to open certain valves etc to see if they're working properly...

Thanks for any info, this looks like an awesome product!

thats known as "active tests" and currently i dont have support for any in the software, but its on the feature list (on the site) which ill hopefully get around to doing at some point

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
