Hi Guys and Girls,

I have been looking at interfacing the Nissan Consult software with a in-dash touchscreen... mainly to use as a gauge cluster but to also check on things for routine maintenance.

With this I will be able to display quite a few gauges at once and if I was to but all these gauges and fit them... not only would it cost a fair bit, it would also clutter my dash... this is hopefully going to be a cheaper and much neater/cooler looking option.

If anyone has played with/has this set up, any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Scotty

it would onlywork if you have the stock ecu wouldnt it ?

any probs wiith my car and they have to disconnect my mines ecu and plug a stockie in

From what I thought the consult was there to read data from all the different sensors and display them so that mechanics could try and diagnose problem areas.

I wouldn't think a different ecu would make any difference as it basically is doing the same... reading data from the sensors... the difference is that it then outputs signals to control the engine.

Wouldn't the consult just be "looking" at the sensors data and therefore not effecting what the ecu see's?

Check some of the other areas, there was a guy over east (Nukleer I think) who made cables and free software, think it could interface to a screen too. I guess aslong as the aftermarket ecu still processes signals through the consult port it would work..

it needs the stock ecu. the consult gets data from the ecu, which reads it from the sensors (make sense to do that, since the ecu needs to read data from sensors to run the engine). therefore non-nissan ecu's wont support consult (copyright, patents, etc)

check out mp3car.com forums for carpc setups. if u get a carpc with usb only, then get a usb consult interface, otherwise a serial one (blazt.biz at the moment, since im not making any right now). or get a serial then a serial/usb adaptor would be more flexible, eg if u changed your mind in future and wanted to hook up a pocket pc instead (which usb wont work for). a carpc setup with consult should be no diff from a normal laptop etc running consult software - u just need the cable, software and stock ecu (remap, piggyback etc ok)

some threads on ns.com on carpc setups:

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
