Hi guys,

Sorry if I ask an old question but i've looked around and no clear answer..

I'm looking to buy a scan tool for my v35 skyline 2003 model. I have had the check engine light come on and would like to fix the problem myself.

There are a lot on eBay at all different prices.

I have also read the ones (obd2) work for the g35 (US model) but not the v35.

So I ask is there a clear winner here?

Which scan tool works best for my v35 and where to buy.

Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure as i've never looking into a scanning device.

But i've used the OBD2 port with an american device before (For tuning) and all i had to do was move a pin from slot 2 to slot 8 or something close to that, then it worked.

I have a Blazt-II and it works fine. Also allows you to do the idle learn procedure without needing to press the throttle 10 times, with a stop watch, holding your tounge right while standing on one leg, etc..

The developer of the nissan datascan software that you use with this cable is regularly updating it with extra features. I have asked him if he can include the ST angle Adj. with the next update.

The blazt.biz webpage went down toward the end of last year, it seems a baptist church has grabbed the name..

You can order the cable through the above webpage.

Scan tool sounds good. I may take you up on that if I can.

I paid $1300 mid-2012 for a Chinese clone of the Consult III+ tool with the Nissan software from an AliBaba.com seller. It's the exact same thing as the "genuine" product and works a treat. I can't remember the seller's name but if anyone wants the detail, I guess I can always search through my email archive and get back to you. :)

Took a look through my archive and found it. She was a very efficient individual and while I was working in the UK at the time, my buddy received the shipment within a week in Sydney. Price doesn't seem to have changed much either. Nevertheless, this looks and feels exactly like the genuine Nissan product. Keep in mind that while it does support the reprogramming of security keys/immobilisers as well as diagnostics on the R35/GTR you need to buy the interface cards/modules for those purposes at an additional cost.

For the purpose of diagnosing and resetting error codes, the scan tool alone is more than sufficient, again as long as it's not a GTR. It came in handy one time when, for whatever reason, my steering angle sensor lost its calibration and thought my wheels were at an angle when they were indeed straight. A 10-second recalibration with the scan tool fixed that. Then there was also the time when I flashed my ECU with the UpRev Osiris, only to have the warning light come on for the bonnet pop-up struts malfunctioning. Again, a reset of the fault code cleared that little annoyance as well. Definitely worth the money if you're going to be the one servicing your vehicle, as I do.

I paid with credit card and never experienced any dodgy transactions thereafter, so from my point of view, they are safe to trade with.

I forgot to mention one more caveat: The Nissan software only works on Windows XP SP2 or SP3. Do not buy this if you cannot score a laptop running XP SP3. I already tested the waters with it on a Windows 7 machine and it definitely doesn't work.

The Consult 3 will set you back sub $300 if you look around, and will communicate with all the ecu's in the car. It is worth 100 times more than a generic OBD2 scanner, I know this well, I have both the Consult3 and a Launch Diagun and the Consult has 100 times more options, it's the same software Nissan use to diagnose faults.

i cant find consult 3 for sub $300 cheapest ive seen is $465.Im not really chasing consult 3 was just wondering if the above ebay screen will work on a v35.

Which V35? I would guess it wouldn't, but the 3.5L is OBD2 compliant, so it might read it's codes somewhat. I have wasted enough money buying these crappy products that don't work on my car.

You are searching in the wrong places. Don't buy from re-sellers...

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
