Hi Guys,

Apologies in advance if this has been answered before, i've been searching the forums and elsewhere, but still haven't came accross a solid answer.

I've got a 97 R33 GTST, and i'm trying to determine what the diagnostics system is. Is it an ODB compliant interface? I want to know as a friend has some software that can interface with ODB2, and if i've got it, i'd like to give it a spin.

I've seen the word CONSULT alot when searching, is this a different standard than ODB?

its odb. Theres heaps of free software that interfaces with it however you'll need the usb>diagnosis plug connector (plmsdevelopments.com)

odb2 is a little newer, like used in the v35 (2000+ model cars), different plug too i think

consult reads the odb from the ecu via the diagnosis plug connector

you can use it to monitor sensors and check for faults

you dont need the connector or consult interface to do those either

its not obd, nor obd2. its nissan's proprietary consult. youll need a 'consult cable', and then consult software on your pc (heaps of free software available). consult cables can be got from blazt.biz or plmsdevelopments.com

consult is on all R33, R34 and on 9/89+ R32's (or 10/89, forget), since they werent subject to being sold in USA and therefore no requirement for OBD2 in 96+

    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!  
    • I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
