YES!!!!! i just got mine today.

you can check almost anything you like with it, and makes error code reading stupidly easy.

mines an aussie made one by ECUtalk usb consult, cost $75 bucks straight from them. postage was uber quick.

and YAY my car came up with code 55 (no malfunction).

only thing im not to sure about is the timing at idle seems to fluctuate rapidly, not by alot, but the guage on the ecutalk program seems quite eratic, the moment you come off idle its fine and doesnt seem to affect the cars idle at all.

ECUTalk

not sure if it works on the R34 (assuming by your name that you own a 34), or if you need to buy a different one for it.

the one i bought comes with a few different free programs, but you can pay big bucks for some of the programs, although im not sure why.

yeah i also have one. contact newkleer on here. he is the one who makes the ecutalk stuff. i think he may do a discount for forum members (i know he did for pulsar forum members cause i only paid $60 for my one a few months back).

it is good for resetting self learn codes, checking the timing and things like o2 sensor, and if you get some of the other programs for it you can do tests such as switching off cylinders, LOL.

as for why you pay money for some programs and not for others, it is kind of like how you can big bucks for anti-virus software or you can get free ones. depends on if it was made by someone who wants to get paid for the hard work they have done, or if it was made by someone who did it out of the kindness of their heart.

also the programs that you have to buy often have more functions to them, where as ecutalk more justs reads the data and displays it.

having said that, you can usually find someone to supply you with a cracked version of the programs you normally have to pay for.

I have one I bought from Caz Racing...It pretty good...Cant remember the name though?

The ability to turn cylinders off is a good feature. Its intent (or what I use it for anyway) is to detect differences in cylinder performance and indentifying problems cylinders etc. I haven't used it for a while but from memory what it does is turns each cyclinder off then back on in a sequence and measure drop in rpm for each cylinder dropped. If all cylinders are even in compression, fuel addition and spark then the drop in rpm for each cylinder should be approximately equal. If you drop a cylinder and idle doesn't change as much you know there is problem with that cylinder...The software I have displays rpm drop for each cylinder on the screen so you can record it..

Also if idle timing jumps around you may find your idle is a little too high as from memory the ecu jumps from 15degbtdc to a 5degbtdc as soon as engine comes off idle without load...So ecu is toggling between 15 and 5 deg...I think??

on my pulsar the timing at idle varies between 15 and 13 degrees but when locked in base idle mode it locks it at 15 degrees.

as for the dropping each cylinder, my program does it but i don't know if it records the rpm drop (i have 2 programs that due it but only ever really played round with it once for fun). it doesn't turn them off in sequence though. you just select on which cylinder you want to turn off then click the start (or is it stop???) button and it turns that cylinder off until you click the button again. but it is good. if you find a cylinder low then you can do a compression test and if it is fine then you can simply swap plugs and coils with a different cylinder to see if it is spark or fuel.

yeah i figured that much, but unless your doing uber performance work, you dont need to pay huge amounts of money for a few more features, the programs that come with the ECUtalk are pretty extensive anyways. from idle adjustments, to turning off cylinders, pulseing solenoids to check for voltage drop, etc etc.

although the programs are a bit twitchy, but for free im not complaining (that could be vista too)

nissan datascan license is only $50 so meh ..worth it I reckon as you get free updates and it's actively developed I think. Has all the goodies in it so you don't need to switch between different programs. Nice logging and replay and graph functions too..pretty handy.

obd scantech is definite worth giving a shot before you do spend $ on any program (it used to cost money, but a year or so ago they made it free).i normally tell anyone to wait a month after they get a cable before spending $ on software (gives time for the novelty to wear off, and then theyll know whether they will use it often, or just for the occasional checkup).

      My BMW 335i

      By PranK · Posted

      Ok, so we've had some (expensive) problems but nothing critical, thankfully. I get parts from FCP Euro in the states and in this instance I got 4 x genuine BMW cooling lines and 4 x OE quality oil lines (because they had no genuine stock). Well, turns out the OE quality didn't fit and the guys wasted a lot of time with them. Thankfully FCP has lifetime returns but the genuine BMW lines locally were $250 each! They also discovered my drivers side engine mount was totally dead and the replacement mount was $350. This sucks as I almost bought new mounts when I did my FCP order and I would have had both the engine mounts for less than this local one. So, I'm assuming at least another $1500 on top of the existing number. They did reassure me that the new (used) turbos looked good which was my main worry. Car will be ready for Monday pickup.

      Forgot to add, that excellent economy was on street tyres, normal street alignment, I recall they were Kumho KU31. Current motor, with the silly alignment and tyres would go nowhere near those numbers.

      And also, as small as the effect may be, the larger exhaust side places a lower restriction on the exhaust flow, even when off boost. When my bigger turbo went on you could hear the difference in the exhaust note at cruise (almost everywhere actually) and fuel consumption went down a little bit.

      I got better economy after fitting a bigger turbo (when purely highway driving, Sydney to Forster, got down to ~8.3L/100KM), as it takes more throttle and RPM to get on boost.

      Oops. Sorry mate. It is both excellent to hear and also surprising though. The amount of work required to (effectively manually, not on a production line) build a core vs your low retail price point is why I presumed that you were buying cores. But let's also be clear about what is meant by "build". At your price point I can't see you making cores from billet on a mill, even if CNC, or doing all the machine work on a rough casting. Surely the lumps of metal are sourced more or less ready to go from an Asian supplier, right? Maybe the same with shafts. I mean, you could turn shafts up yourself, but it's pretty slow going for items that are all essentially bulk order producable. I was always perfectly willing to believe that you assemble your wheels to shafts, fit up bearings and do all the balancing. I actually expected that you would have been doing all that even if the core did arrive from a supplier with most of that pre-assembled. Nevertheless, please accept my apology.
