Hi Pete,

I have followed the instructions on your website, and now have the USB key taped to my buttocks. However, it is uncomfortable when I sit down. Can you address this in a future release?

Thanks

P.S. will try it out tonight :(

You just have to get everything i have dont ya Geoff :)

Recieved my cable and usb yesterday, very happy, will try to give it a workout tonight or over the weekend. Thanks NewKleer.

Regards

Paul

cool, thats all for the moment, might get to make some more next weekend, if my arms havent fallen off from nonstop typing of my thesis until then!

Peter

for people with usb converters who want TECU to work, ive added this to bottom of readme page:

Important: TECU is assy with any COM port other than COM1 and sometimes COM2.

To have any chance of it working with USB/Serial, you need to force COM port to COM1 or COM2 (whichever isnt in use):

1) Find "USB Serial Port (COMX)" in device manager (see above to find this)

2) Right Click, Properties -> Port settings -> Advanced -> Change port number on dropdown.

3) It will say its in use, but if u know it isnt (ie u dont have modem or bluetooth or anything there) then just confirm/continue/ok etc.

4) Open TECU, on main startup screen it where it says "Com Port:1" in bottom left corner - double click this to change to COM2 if you set converter to COM2.

Is there any chance of getting one now? I see there is a reserved list, could I be added to that (though can't see why ppl wouldnt take it, great price!)

Cheers

back at post #81 at least i stopped adding reserves cause its unlikely anymore than those there (and then maybe not all of them) will get one. but if somehow more are available or lots pull out, ive got the order that people have posted in here as reference. basically anyone thats not on the list shouldnt wait around for one if they need one, cause its unlikely you'll end up getting one.

hi pete

just tried this out it connects up ok with ecu talk but the gages don't work

when trying to change com port on the tecu it comes up with error opening com.dat file or error opening com port, i press ok then it opens up, i tried double clicking where it says come port in the lower left corner and comes up run time error 8002 invalid port number and then closes.

can you help i am also using vista 32

cheers mitch

other people have commented that ecutalk doesnt work with vista

im guessing by the sounds of things, tecu doesnt either? (you set it to COM2 i assume)

ill have a .net 2.0 version of ecutalk in a month or two which may work better with vista. when i get a new pc setup by end of month ill try dual boot etc with vista so i can try and make sure ecutalk works with it.

tried calumsult? try conzult_free and nissan datascan (can use the dash without buying it)

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
