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...

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
