Hey guys,

Having a fault code come up and my mechanic and trans specialist is useless, thus I want to get and OBD2 reader to so that I can monitor the sensors that are calling the fault and get the bloody problem fixed.

I have picked up one from ebay but whether it was the device or the applications that was the problem I'm not sure, but I was unable to connect to and read the ECU. It even made the car idle funny while it was plugged in :-/

It's a 2001 R34 GTV (25gt) so I know it's OBD2.

So, if there's any recommendations for devices to hook upto my laptop I'd be much appreciative. Also bluetooth would be a preference, if they're considered reliable enough.

Thanks,

Teir.

Shite... I'd be a bit pissed with myself if I'm that wrong. I recognized that the port was incorrect from the device itself and got a cord that would sit between the two with the correct sockets either side...

So you're likely right...

This thread here is the correct socket...

I too thought they were consult, and that plug looks just like the consult plug in the missus' pulsar.

If you decide to get a new cable, i use a ecutalk cable that is usb. Not the cheapest, but i've been happy with it, and it's made by a member of this forum.

Yea, looks like it is. Dunno how I then found an adapter from consult to OBDII o.O

Anyway, ECUTalk is the only one I've found on eBay... Does he give members discounts? :-P

ECUtalk cable is cool.

Also try and find software such as : Nissan Datascan, Scantech, Conzult etc...

They're fun to play with too. :thumbsup:

I definitely will! I'm an embedded systems engineer (At uni) so looking into the guts of it all will be very interesting.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

      Cas issue

      It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
