These apparently work, and there is an ecu programming card to use with it separately. Not cheap for a trial though although the seller said it will work with no problems.

Its a rip off of the Nissan Consult program from what I can work out...

If it is a Consult rip off and only does what a Consult can do, it can't flash the ECU.

If they haev created an add-on as such, then so be it. Perhaps it might be worth a few VQ25det owners all putting in to get one to trial?

I would have grabbed one but it's over a grand for the unit with the programming Pc card. I would definitely buy the unit though. If anyone is interested in chucking in for the programming card let me know, I don't really need it otherwise.

It is esentially a consult unit, reverse engineered. I have been in communication with a few of the suppliers who all said it will work. The programmer is the part I'm not confident with.

$200 us for the version that'll do nm35s. Plus shipping. Provided you have a Lappy to put the software on.

The diagnostic facility is totally different to the tuning. The couple of screen shots I've used in other threads is from the tuning software which doesn't work with nm35 cars. Have I made it clear enough?

Still haven't had anyone come for diagnostics!ermm.gifmaybe I should put a price on, then people might like it more. Otherwise just keep paying $ at Nissan!

Uprev will log and do the CEL's but not tune for you Ryan... like you really need it :P

Yeah but I figured if it was cheap enough it'd be handy to be able to log and clear CELs just like that!

I still need to clear that stupid airbag light. Maybe this weekend. I'd come to you Alex, but, well, you're a long way away!

Hi All,

When I tuned my car, the software (UPREV Cipher) came with a diagnostics program to run on Nissan CAN BUS cars. So- its good new for you people!

I tried the software out on Jetwrecks car today successfully.

This is a list of what I can CAN DO with this software:

Adjust your ignition timing up to +2 degrees or - 5 degrees (please note- I'm not in any way responsible for what happens to your car if you want me to do this)

Hey Alex, is this what you saw on Craigs car or yours? I plugged into mine today & it gave me options of +8 degrees to -8 degrees.

You can keep increasing it Leon, but there are two figures there target and actual. target can be +8, but it just wont run it, actual is still +2. Depends on ecu too, some have different parameters to others.

But check that out. doubt you get any more than +2

OK, that's probably right & makes sense. I just dropped the box down & saw the available options but didn't change anything. Mine was set for -1.

Thanks.

-1, just like everyone else's.

Car clear of error codes?

Never any codes, other than the SRS that's been my nemesis since day one.

Might be -1 due to the fuel being used (98 instead of 100)?

I mainly use Caltex (only because have a business funded card) so I can't even guarantee it's 98, lol. I occasionally try other brands 98 fuel (BP), but can't really tell the difference driving around. Probably never in the tank long enough to learn it.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
