lists V35, but im guessing thats a yankie V35, different to the JDM variety??? i talking consult-wise :thumbsup:

I tried this one on my car and it sees the RPM and can turn cylinders on and off to test them but beyond that it does no more.

This system works perfectly on the v35 but as this car was sold as an Infinity in the US I am sure this is why it was designed to be OBD2 compliant.

Our car was never sold outside Japan so this is why the porblem.

Berwick Nissan also gave me about 300 questions when I wanted a new keyblank for the Skyline...

Told them it was for a Micra, and even gave them a Micra vin.. that shut them up...

This is so short sighted of them not to take our money... Toyota went through the same thing with not wanting to touch the imports, then the penny dropped about how much Soarer owners are prepared to pay for servicing and parts... Toyota NZ even import and sell Grey import vehilces through their Toyota Signature scheme..

Haha! Berwick were actually more than happy to take my money ($97 per hour), but stated clearly that they refused to put their Consult on my car and would treat it as if it was a Falcodore...

I promptly called FTG Nissan from Berwick Nissan's phone and booked the car in.

consult 2 or 3 will work you rekon?

Yep.

FTG hook up M35's and V35's to their Consult 3... no problem.

Consult 3 FOR SALE!!

Don't fight over it ladies...

The Toughbook CF-18 is nearly $6kAUD by itself.

That package is a bit too rich for the privateer though...

All UDM cars have been mandated for OBDII since around 2002 I think, and most are now CANbus. KWP is fairly popular in JDM cars, but don't hold your breath about compatibility. For example, my inlaws' MY99 Forester GT has the OBDII connector - and doesn't talk any languages except genuine Subaru. :P

Blazt are in NZ, and he lists the V35 tested as being a 350GT? So most likely tested on a JDM car. But it will be one with the VQ35DE, not the VQ25DET used in the Stageas most of you have - wonder if it is different?

It is definatley different. I have tested the Blatz gear on the M35 and it does not work.

Whilst the V35 is a JDM car, the same car was exported as an Infinity G35 to the US so you would have ti imagine that if all the G35 for the US are going to be ODB2 compliant they would use the same system in the JDM cars rather than creating a new platform just for this car.

Im pretty sure you would have to run all the v35 computers to get it to talk. Too hard basket. Only option left is the Greddy info touch which apparently works on m35 and can reset some cars, probably not ours tho. If there is any info or programs that work, I cant find it. Surely someone in japan has cracked it.

that reads it :thanks:

and its B'tooth!

as does this :)

(not the best image of it but it will do.)

the top one is a LOT cheaper than the main X431. and if you keep it updated does 99% of what a C3 does

for the diagun loaded its $3600ish with a few manu's missing.

Did we get a complete answer on if the M35 is OBDII or not?

Just found this on the net, and thought it looked interesting...

Trip computer info for those without the factory tv/nav... oh, and it's a sat nav..:thumbsup:

I know this has been covered (probably to death) but I have just bought a GoPoint Technology Cable GL1 www.gopointtech.com to connect my PNM35 to my old iPhone. I was hoping I might get lucky seeing as though my Stagea has the VQ35DE which the US Infiniti G35s have and also it is a bit newer, 2005.

Anyway, for any of the apps to first begin even trying to talk they need a power signal. After testing all the pins in the OBDii port there's no voltage on any of them when the engine is running. Should there be power and is there a fuse or something I need to check, or is it simply that the OBDii port pinouts are different.

I tested the cable on my brother's Yaris (yeah he's not exactly a car enthusiast) and it works great. I put a multimeter on the pins of the Yaris' OBD2 port and a few of them showed almost 12 volts and one (I think Pin 16) had almost 14 volts with the engine running.

All I am after is a simple computer to display basic parameters and in particular mileage. Also the engine check code thing would be good. If this doesn't work, I am going to look into the ECUDatascan www.ecudatascan.com.au which apparently works on R32s to R34s, Silvias etc.

Cheers

    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
