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:

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
