im thinking of buying a plug in diagnostic scanner that will do all local shit and and all imports till current! these things arnt cheap but they do awsome stuff, graph every sensor output, data log as you drive to gain a snap shot of faults that happen irregularly and a whole heap of other gear.

whats everyones thoughts on me purchasing such a device?

im a qualified mechanic by day, just looking for abit of wkend/after hours work to do in addition to doing timing belts and the like.

nope, only factory ecus, bcms, trans computers and the like. as far as i know, any laptop with the correct softwear will access aftermarket ecu's.

Well, if you can find a working piece of software that does HICAS diags, then you'll be in business. I know Conzult 300zx version has HICAS diags that works on skylines with the OBD1 connector but it costs around $500. I have a consult cable from PLMS myself and some of the free software is nice but not as in depth as one would have hoped. I also have a hexterm program which allows me to send commands to the ECU/HICAS/Auto Trans/Aircon systems but unfortunately the registers I have as a reference don't match up.

I for one would like my HICAS fixed properly, so if you can get a tool to scan codes, I'll be your first customer ;P

ebay !!!!

"nissan consult" search ebay :)

should get it today / tomorrow

Ahh shit tangles, you're going to get a free copy of Conzult SX.... which is virtually f'n useless Im sad to say ;\

Now, If I could just find a cheap copy of Conzult ZX floating around, I'd be sorted

-D

ill make afew calls to find out if the one im looking at will do HICAS, if so i think i will get it.

anything else that would be of any use to anyone that i should find out about?

Aside from something that does comprehensive ECU work (something the same league as conzult zx but for rb26's) would be good but tbh I think the HICAS diags are the one that is sorely lacking from around here.... You could also buy software which gets codes from the climate control unit and the automatic transmission but I'm not sure theres high demand for either (esp when you can easily get diag info from the climate control and automatics are usually taken to an auto specialist anyhow)

the one im looking at does auto trans, ABS, airbag and stuff like knock sensor output, AFM voltage, occilascope (spelling) for individual coils. it has the builtin softwear for 32-34gtr's.

i will also ask if it caters for ATESSA.

Hrm it sounds pretty comprehensive ... let me know when you've got it and I'll bring my GTR over ;D

the nissan consult can read the following programs, find them on the net and d/load

Features :

- Interface fitting for 14pin Consult Port of Nissan vehicles.

- Heavy & robust casing for rough service use

- Connects to PC via RS232

- Powered from car battery over 14pin Consult Port of Nissan vehicles.

- LED to control power and clock function

What can you do with this interface?

- Monitor and Log dozens of realtime parameters

- Check and clear engine fault codes before going to an expensive auto shop

- Adjust the timing and idle

- Power balance testing

- Reset the self-learn codes

- Control idle air valves, relays (AC, fans, etc), timing

- Diagnose customer vehicles on-site

- Speed up troubleshooting of electronically monitored components

Available software working with this Interface:

(Note that some of it is not free and need to be purchased)

DDLreader: DDLreader v.15c / DDLreader v.16c

ConZult

ScanTechNissan

Z-Control

SRTalk v.1.0

ZCSetup v.2.0

ZTalk v.1.1

Nissan Data Scan v.1.4

Nissan Data Scan v.1.51

was thinking of adding some stuff like this into Nistune for my R34 ... HICAS, trans controller etc. Just a matter of finding time to do it. Keep in mind also, with the earlier vehicles like R32 you wont get as many outputs as the later models

Hey Matt

Do you have the sheet with the registers for the early ECU's? I can send them to you if you like.

I'm not quite sure how accurate the HICAS registers up. I know the init code works fine and I can turn streaming on and off for different registers but considering it streams in multiple hex characters I really don't know how to decipher it.

I already have a cable, if you want to add any features and need it tested on a 32 gtr, I'd be keen to do that..

-D

you mean this one?

i've never had a vested interest (ie car) until now to start mucking aruond with this stuff. but would be good to try out now i've got the 34

we have S-HICAS ECU table, AIRCON table and A/T ECU tables here. Yeah would be good to sort out the HICAS and A/T ones at least. I dont think anyone cares too much about the aircond ...

I dont have an A/T ECU here to test that stuff on since I purposely got a M/T so that might need some hunting down for an ECU which supports this (or separate A/T controller off earlier vehicle)

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
