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.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
