Hi Guys,

My son has just bought a 2k R34 gt-t sedan and I have bought his Silvia and I was planning on buying the PLMS interface cable and Nissan datascan software to use on both cars.

Has anyone used these products and how user friendly are they?

I have been building NA engines on my early cars for years but am a newbie when it comes to FI and Turbo cars so will I be able to use this setup.

I'm mainly concerned with basic maintenance such as reading and re-setting fault codes but no doubt once familiar with the system will be doing tweaking as well.

Any advise or suggestions from those familiar with this software will be much appreciated.

Mark.

yep its fine, u shouldnt have any problems (unless he has a ca18 silvia which wont work as it doesnt support consult). if you want to save $50, a combination of the free consult software alternatives (ecutalk, calumsult and tecu, dl locations here) will do all that datascan does, especially if you dont plan to use it for more than diagnostics, but datascan is the best software out if you can afford it

though the cost all up at around $170 for cable + datascan is almost as much as a standalone ecutalk consult lcd display (link) which was $200 last time it was sold, and should be a new version in a couple of months for similar price. no need for a laptop etc (though should have consult interface mode so u can use it like a normal cable)

whichever way you go, you wont be disappointed

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
