Scantools

Wondering if anyone has cracked the OBD2 consult 2 side of the V35 yet in regard to using a P.C and Interface plugged into the consult port under the dash and can offer advice.

I have scanners that I used on other cars and interfaces but not sure how to go about accessing the internals of the V35. Consult 2 is too expensive for me.

Following on from that what can you access, what does it mean and what can you change?

I have. The OBDII protocol is no bigge it's just a standard protocol but you can't do much with it. I'm currently working on Nissan Data Scan II that will work with Consult II protocol. So far I can monitor most parameters and registers. The final product will also let you log data, adjust idle speed and ignition timing as well as reading and clearing error codes. The NDS II software and PC adaptor will be available through Blazt.biz.

Cheers,

Tom

Cool and thanks.

I might hold off buying the Autoenginuity Scantool with Nissan extensions as that seems the best I can find.

I have the Autoenginuity Scantool and it is very limited with the V35 as JDM cars do not run the OBD-II interface, they use a different protocol, not even Nissan's Nissan Consult at a service department could talk to the car.

Consult_Protocol___Commands_Issue_6.pdfWill see as tomorrow it goes in to the local dealership. I think the issue is more the Nissan proprietry code or extensions that it uses.

The G35 guys say consult 2 works and I see no reason why it would not. I think the skill level of the Nissan Technicain comes into play here not so much the tool.

This is the Consult Protocol attached.

[TomR33]

Yeah, thats the Consult I protocol from PLMS website prepared by Nissan Technical Group. Completely different to Consult II protocol and can't be used on our v35 Skylines.

The Consult II unit from Nissan dealership will work but do you want to spend $2500 to get one?

Thanks Tom, Anyone got consult 2 details or can refer to appropriate site with details of it?

Where can you get Consult 2 for $2500?

need someone in the USA to get it though. they will not ship outside the USA and if you email them you will end up with a call from repco here in Oz. the machine that repco offer does not work on a 2001-2004 v35 but does on a 2004.5 up.

look at the launch x413 if you want to play with the internals of that car. as for software packages - no real idea - I use scanners.

[wabbo69]

Chris, How much does it cost.I migh...might be able to get someone in the us to on forward it for us.

[Chris Rogers]

$3500 with USDM software.
