Just bought a PLX bluetooth OBD II reader (http://www.plxkiwi.com/kiwibluetooth/), however upon further reading it seems that import Nissan's do not comply with OBD II standards and will require Consult III equipment. I've also read that the Blatz and Conzult systems don't work either.

I've seen some Consult III software for sale on ebay (apparently for educational purposes, who knows), which can be installed on any laptop. However my question is, would this software work with the standard ELM327 interface cable? Or would I need a special Consult III cable and hardware? From what I can see the connectors are the same, however I think the pin outs are slightly different... maybe some tweaking could see it work?

What do you guys think?

Been there, nothing here talks Japanese. Only the more expensive readers will work.

What do you want to read? If it is for engine data, the Informeter Touch is great.

If you want one I'm prepared to set up a group buy on the Greddy infometers!....$400 + domestic delivery......so work on about $425 to your door. I have one there awesome.......+ I can get all the little extra's for them too!

If there's enough interest in this thread and the Greddy infometer I'll set it up....if it's one at a time PM me and i'll get one for yah but it wont be at $400!

I've been looking at these since you started talking about them.

At that price I could probably justify one.

Sorta correct :down:

True Blatz and Conzult won't read our cars... but you shouldn't need Consult 3. I have read my car using the older Consult 2, no problems.

The Informeter is pretty cool though and will undoubtedly cost you less than if you can find a Consult 2

I've seen Consult II readers on ebay for around 30 bux, but I was under the impression Consult II didn't work?? Or does a genuine Nissan Consult system actually work as opposed to china copies? What software did you run?

Its definately Consult II, however I cant confirm if a chinese rip off will suffice - but the workshop manuals DEFINITELY only mention Consult II. Though at $30, its not an expensive endeavour to find out if the cheapies will work

these cars are consult 2 (J1850) based. C3 is for the later cars.

jetwreck,

two words -launch diagun :yes: (for those reading along toss that into google.)

lol.....thanks Chris

anyway guy's for those that want the Greddy infometer.

have u checked out the blazt/datascan II package for consult II cars?

i dont think you have - maybe consult 1, but not consult II.

Blatz does not work on the M35.. tried and failed..

all the M35 models will work AFAIK except for anything that is VQ25DET equipped. we have a rare ECU that is only shared by one or two other cars (not nissans)

Unfortunately true (as far as I know too)... yay for us :P

Edited by iamhe77
is m35 significantly different to v35? (no longer sharing engine etc like r34/c34?) cause the v35 is on the blazt.II compatibility list

As they said. Our ECU is an Orphan.. We wish it was simpler. Would make getting a reflashed ECU much easier than it has been to date.

I physically tried the Blatz on my car and no go.

Yep, you're right, they were only consult I ;) . However I checked again and there seems to be Consult II scanners for around the $300 mark... but for an extra $100 the touch informeter would probably be a better buy, nice packaging etc. But, then again... for proper diagnostics, you can't go past the scanner. Hmm... what to do....

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
