ECUTalk Consult LCD V2 Sensor Display / Trip Meter / Time Trials / USB Interface

This item is a blue or green LCD (customised to your choice, see below) plug and play diagnostic display/trip meter for pre-OBDII Nissan cars with the 14 pin grey consult port (see car list below), it can display sensor and trip meter data (see below), read and erase fault codes, perform time trials (e.g. 0-100 km/h), etc, all without the use of a laptop.

For more involved diagnostics/logging, it also has an integrated USB 'consult cable', which can be activated by the USBIF option on the main menu. This allows the display to be hooked up to a laptop and used just like any other consult cable (like in my other items). The display will come with a USB cable (standard USB Type A to Type B cable, like those used with printers). The display is 144mm wide, 48mm high and 33mm deep (buttons protrude 3mm), and weighs around 260g. The display has a hi-temp polycarbonate black matte enclosure. Cable length is approximately 140cm.

The LCD is 20x4 character display with LED backlight. You can chose between a green lcd or a blue/white one. Both coloured screens are in stock, you should indicate the colour you would like in the 'add message to seller' field in checkout, or contact me after purchasing to indicate which you would like. The blue/white display is a 'negative' mode LCD which makes it harder to see in competing light or on an angle than the green LCD (which is easier to see with external light), keep this in mind when deciding on colour.

The blue screen below is showing the main sensor display, and the green screen is showing the trip meter display (see down further for more pictures). Both colour displays have the same functionality. Click for larger picture.

Firmware updates may be available in the future to add additional features (e.g. the display hardware has an onboard buzzer, the most recent firmware added support to use it for audible alerts), and you would be contacted by email if new updates become available.

Once connected and the car is on or running and your display is connected to the 14 pin grey consult port, you can then:


  • View sensor data - such as speed, RPM, battery voltage, economy, injector %, timing, AAC, O2, water temp, air flow and throttle.
  • View trip meter data - such as current/ave speed & fuel economy, trip fuel used, fuel rate (litres/hour), KMs travelled, time elapsed.
  • View/clear error codes - view fauls and the number of times the car has started since the fault was logged
  • Perform time trials - 0-60km/h, 0-100km/h, 0-160km/h, 0-400m (and MPH equivalents if MPH option is set).
  • View peak values - view peak speed, RPM, water temp, injector %, timing, air flow, and throttle for the current trip.
  • Change options - units as km/h or mph (which determines L/100KM or MPG), C or F, TPS V or %, LCD backlight settings, etc
  • Audible Alerts - user definable alerts for RPM, speed, water temp, air flow, injector % and battery voltage (v2.02 firmware)

You will be provided with a CD including a user guide, USB drivers and the following Consult software:


  • ECUTalk (our own software, gauges pictured far below left)
  • OBD Scantech 1.29 Nissan (gauges pictured far below right)
  • Conzult (freeware version, picture furthest below)
  • Calumsult

Suitable for most Nissan car models from 1989-2000 that have the 14 pin grey consult port, which is typically found near or attached to the in-cabin fuse box. It will not work for newer vehicles with the OBDII port (e.g. 350Z). It wont work if you have replaced your ECU with any aftermarket one like PowerFC, Autronic, EMS, etc (but remaps or daughterboards with the original ECU are OK). The common vehicles in Australia that are supported includes (but is not limited to):


  • R32 Skyline (9/89+ only) / R33 Skyline / R34 Skyline
  • C34 Stagea
  • S13/S14/S15 Silvia / 180SX / 200SX / 240SX (SR20/KA24DE engines only, not CA18)
  • Z32 300ZX
  • N14/N15 Pulsar (including GTiR) / N15 Almera
  • B13 NX Couple / NX-R Coupe / NX100 / NX1600 / NX2000
  • B13/B14 Sentra / Sunny
  • P10/P11 Infiniti G20 / Primera (not P11-144, this is OBDII which is not consult compatible)
  • K11 Micra
  • U13 Bluebird
  • GQ/GU Patrol (TB42E, TB45E only, check for port, if you have OBDII plug then adaptor may be available)
  • R50 Pathfinder WX (VG33E, 95-98, other models not tested)
  • G50 Infiniti Q45
  • Y32 Cedric/Cima (VG20/VG30 engines, not RD28)

Note: The display will come with the latest firmware which adds support for TB45E engine and adds a second trip meter screen that records all trips data (the current trip meter screen just records the current trip). It also allows adjustments to fuel and ignition timing if you know what you are doing (use at own risk, read the user guide that comes with the display). There is also a minor change to where sensors are display (temperature is at the start of the second line pushing instant economy and injector duty cycle to right - ignition timing then moves down a row to where temperature was previously).

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
