Fell in love with M35 Stagea and now I want to import one for myself.

The problem is that it would be the first in Finland and to get it approved it has to have OBD (on board diagnostics)

and there is no information about that in the net, or atleast I can't find it.

Some japanese JDM-cars have it, some don't. I know that for example S15 Silvia doesn't have it

Is anyone familiar with OBD ?

Thanks for Your help...

America has a similar requirement for OBD and there is a standard, OBD II, which I am sure all current Japanese cars will meet. Nissan had their own version of OBD called "consult" but this is not compatible with OBD reading equipment. I don't know when Nissan changed over to an OBD compliant system - maybe a current M35 owner (my car is older) can tell you.

Can not tell you for sure, but I can faintly remember reading that Consult 3 is OBD compliant.

Consult 2 works on NM35's, Consult 1 does not.

I do not know about Consult 3, but I hazard a guess that it would be fine if your dealerships over there use it.

Given that the M35 is very similar to the V35, and the V35 is sold in the US and is OBD2 complaint then I'd be very surprised if it wasn't.

Connector on a V35 is under the dash below the steering column on the drivers side - unclip a little panel and there it is (just checked it was there on my V35 250GT). Most likely in the same place in a M35 given that they share the same dash setup.

Chris Rogers might know for sure where the connector is on a M35.

Also might be worth talking to this guy who sells OBDII/scan tools for Nissan's (he's based in NZ):

http://www.blazt.biz/

Looks like his scan tool hasn't been tested on a Stagea, but has been tested on a V35.

its in the same place as a V35 - above your left foot.

I have used a generic tool (launch 431) on one and it's OBD2 compliant. the protocols are nissan specific for the early ones (later are CAN) but it;s OBD2 ( they put that in place after 96 or so.)

working on the V35/M35 theory I do not see a problem with the BLAZT items.

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • 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.
