No, it's not really an Rs232c protocol.

I have writen by now 2 applications that use the consult protocol: Data Scan - for monitoring and logging a real time data and Rom Reader - for downloading the ROM data.

The Data Scan is especially good for diagnosing faults and those flat spots. You can see some of the logs that i have done here:

The CMX100 looks like a cool little unit. But it measures just 4 parameters. I presume you had to 'guess' the format of the commands to get the other parameters based on the commands from the CMX100.

What are your plans for the software you have written?

  • 2 weeks later...

Its for the factory ECU. It plugs into the diag port on the r33 and then connects to the laptop. The conzult software then translates all the responses from the diag port into stuff on the screen, much like the screen captures from the 300zx-twinturbo site.

The 300zx guys tested on an rb25det and it didnt work.

So their site says anyway:)

The only thing stopping you from doing this yourself is

1) you need the plug so you can plug your PC into the conzult port _ well i guess you could guess the wiries and make a custom plug

2) you need the software that communicates with the port - 300zxtwinturbo wanna sell it for $600 a pop and that include a cable to plug into the conzult port

nissan have a hardware version which is worth around 19k brand new. you cant buy nor can use it. its like the hand controller for the apexi powerFC, similar concept, all handheld changes and stuff, no need for laptop.

TomR33: Can you help out with 1 or 2?

Maybe the guys on aus300 just dont wanna share, i hear the owner of that system on the forum is not the friendliest guy.

Im meeting up with a good mate off the 300 forum today, ill ask him :) i know he has used conzult system on his 300ztt

edit:forgot to add that there are LOTS of similarities between vg30 and rb series engines, in terms of electrics, sensors etc..so id be surprised if it didnt work...

Albeit its mainly only used for fault finding and the like. Shows sensor failures and their values. Yes you could data log the 1/4 mile etc but not sure how useful it would be on a day to day basis.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
