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).

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
