Hey guys

I have put a RB20 silvertop into my R31.

I have bought a consult cable, one of the blitz ones.

I have installed everything, and directly wired it into the ecu wires.

But my software isn't picking the ECU up.

Is there anything special i have to do to get it working?

Also does anyone know what voltages are supose to be on the TX, RX, and CLK cables?

I am getting an error can't open my com port as well.

I am thinking this might be the problem.

But if anyone could give me the voltage readings, it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for any help

Is this right?

Black = Ground

Blue = CLK

White = RX

Yellow = TX

Red = 12V

all the drivers are installed, and windows picks up the cable fine.

Its just all the programs that arn't picking up the ECU, only the free Conzult software says can't open port, the others try and find the ECU but can't

Is there any manual way of testing the consult cable?

Did you connect RX to RX and TX to TX?

If so try swapping the RX and TX wires. For a serial connection you always connect RX on one connection to TX on the other, and vice versa.

are u using a true serial port or a usb dongle converted one?

try a real serial port, it may work better

Tried changing the TX and RX wires, still said can't find ECU.

The cable is a USB one, no serial port.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, this has me stumped

TX has about 10v

RX has .4v

And CLK has around 2.4V

Can someone with a USB cable maybe measure the voltage readings that they are getting on the cables in the USB plug just before they go into the computer, this should tell me if my cable is working properly.

Tomorrow i am gonna get a mates computer and see if it works on it, it might just be my laptop

Thanks again

CLK is correct (~5V @ 50% dutycycle = 2.5v)

transmit from ECU (ie, TX on ecu pinout) should measure 0->5v (somewhere in between) when connected

receive from ECU (RX on ecu pinout) should measure 0->12v roughly, depending on whether pc is transmitting or not.

what is ur ECU serial number? (23710-xxxxx). early R32 ecu's (until ~9/89) didnt have consult capabilities.

23710-73L10

I tried the cable with another computer and it still wouldn't pick up my ECU

Thats probably the problem, my ECU doesn't support it

Thanks for the help

ur ecu is from an a31 cefiro - they dont support consult.

youll need an r32 ecu. dont get any of these (i think the rest should be ok):

23710-04U00

23710-04U10

23710-04U11

thats on assumption a31 motor can work with r32 without any changes, if u have an a31 motor

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
