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?

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.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
