V35 2003 Scan Tool

[scotty nm35]

Nissan still use the Consult3 at some dealers...

I haven't yet tried it on later Nissans though.

Scott,

I'll pop over later in the week and you can try it on my V36 just to settle the argument.

Cheers

get this cable guys tested on my 350gt works fine connects to the ecu with no probs

and its cheap as compared to blatz II

[scotty nm35]

Yep, it should, your engine is OBD2 compliant. Any OBD2 scanner should work. The question is, will it diagnose the other 6 computers in the car, or just the engine codes.

I hate to revive a old thread

but what scanner is half way good at the moment for obd2, I've been looking around for a while now and i cant get find anything that doesn't look like a shitty knock off of the real thing.

I have been using the Blatz cable and nissandatascan for a while now. Works for the ECU, ABS and SRS, don't know about the TCU as I have a 6sp. Can also do immobiliser key programming if you have the PIN for your ECU.

I'm not sure what the issue is with a "knock off of the real thing". The official Nissan Consult 3 will set you back thousands..

The Chinese Nissan Consult 3 can be imported for $150 USD. When purchasing from China be careful that you're not purchasing from a reseller (of a reseller, of a reseller, of another reseller...).

The quality of the model that I purchased is great. Quality control in China varies a lot, but if you've got a warranty purchasing major sites (like Alibaba, etc.)

If you don't need to diagnose & just want to display readings, then the HKS OBD Link is a great tool.

I use both.

Sorry should clarify the "Knock off of the real thing" is ebay and all the crappy obd2 scanners that people are selling for 50 bucks, you can just tell that there crap.

They would be at that price. Like Thom, I bought mine through AliBaba.com which was a $1600 knock-off of the Nissan Consult 3+ with a copy of the genuine Nissan software back in 2012. Works exactly the same as the Nissan deal itself as long as you have Windows XP on your laptop - which is what the Consult software was designed to work with.
