Firstly, the infometer isn't just a toy, especially if you have the external sensors fitted. I have the oil pressure, oil temp and boost pressure sensors with my wideband in the analogue input. It displays everything I will ever need in one small display with peak hold and warnings. It has saved my arse more times than I can count, and is very useful for diagnosis.

Matt, if you are having problems with your consult3 don't take it out on the unit, it's just the knock-off software most likely. I tried a few versions before I found one that worked well. It's a very powerful unit, much more useful than clearing codes.. If only you knew what it could actually do... Nissan should do a course. :P

Hey Scotty.

I've found the data monitoring side to be very unstable to the extent I can't log for more than 20sec without the VI disconnecting from the PC or the ECU. Same goes for when I try to adjust the ign timing, AF learn etc. Everything else works 'most' of the time between crashes. Tried many USB cables, mains power etc etc with no change. I've read through the Nissan training Academy course, came with the unit. Could you help me out on what software version is stable? I was under the impression the software was original Nissan.. I'll check my version when I get home. I've been in contact with the supplier who seems to think the VI is faulty...

On another note:

ICarsoft i903 for Nissan apparently also works on our cars according to the seller..

To tell you the truth I don't do much logging, without the oscilloscope viewer it may not work well. For live data mine works perfectly. Are you using an XP lappy or emulating it?

I got my software from England, off the guy who built the R35gtr fronted Stagea.

It's the same with live data on mine, lasts 20sec at most before crashing. I have an XP Acer travel mate with a fresh XP build. But good point I might try the other one we have at the shop with XP when James is back from playing Air Force. I don't have the MI.. to expensive for me when I already have a fluke scopemeter I can borrow from work.

I have another USB A/B cable but one with a ferrite choke on each end. Will see if that works any better. the data streams seems like it is best effort data rather than CRC referenced.

That R35 fronted stag looks the goods, I've been doing my best to find some affordable 35R wheels with tyres that will fit. Found a set with new 255's all round but price is up there. Some of the 19" 370Z wheels are more affordable and RAYS.

found this one today which lists M35 VQ25DET as compatible. Might download the demo this afternoon and try it out with my ELM 327 Bluetooth to my Quad core Kitkat 4.4 deck.

It lists a working profile for the M35 VQ25DET... I wonder if I can borrow the init string from that profile to get torque up and running....hmmmn

I tested out the Hobdrive trial and it did work, it was a while ago so can't recall what data was available. Pretty sure it was up and running with my knockoff elm327 (also have an OBDlink MX WIFI so could have been that). If i didn't have an Informeter Touch already i probably would've coughed up the $27 for it and given it a proper testing.

+1 have an Informeter & sensor harness (with boost & oil pressure/temp sensors). Very handy to have it all there in a nice small package.

So the preset profile is there. Looks like it doesn't want to stay connected to my 327. Maybe hope still. I'll keep playing. Maybe buy a better 327

Here is the unit string, I'll try it in torque later

Tried it in torque too, it does "connect to the ecu" but doesn't know how to read the sensors. All you I could see (from both torque and hobdrive) is the battery voltage. Maybe bought a second faulty elm adapter...

Oh noes, what a fool I feel now!

Where have you been all my life to assist with my big life decisions?

Bite me champ.

sorry mate, it doesn't mean info meter touch is unless, it is a good diag tool with big screen and could expand with many sensors. :yes:

i just want to say not all people could afford such expensive luxury diag tool. :closedeyes: (info touch + full harness and sensors)

Oh noes, what a fool I feel now!

Bite me champ.

come on now, there is no need for this sort of attitude.

Has anyone use the CANtieCAR interface? i was reading on a Russian\mhh forum that it was possible to get it to work with consult 3 plus GUI, it may be worth a look

I like the new info coming out in this thread..many heads make light work.... be sensational to work out an ELM327 based tool. Cheap cheap. I have the next 3 days off...I'll have a bit more of a play. When I hear back from Hobdrive I'll post the email up.

Could be. Attached is the output I got from Hobdrive. Temps look right and RPM was correct, would have to go for a drive to see if speed was being reported.

Elcheapo elm327 knockoff i have was sold as "V1.5 Super Mini ELM327 OBD2 OBD-II Bluetooth CAN-BUS Auto Diagnostic Tool" but that was a few years ago. Link in my ebay account directs to a v2.1 device (looks identical though)

Got one of these they work

Must be the MEMOSCAN N607

You can get them off alibaba for about $160 delivered

Pretty sure torque would work then, the connection string is the same as hobdrive except the ';' which needs to be standard new line character :

ATSP5\nATAL\nATIB10\nATSH8110FC\nATST32\nATSW00 

Can someone with a working ELM adaptor give it a try?

Edited by valf

Goodluck with that.. hmm if I have time tomorrow I'll try run that string on my one..

(Derp.. my note 5 has switch screen instead of menu like my tab3 does..will have to pull out my tablet to try it)

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
