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.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      Hello, first of, I’ve looked at many threads on this code but none have helped me, if you know one that will help me feel free to post a link.   Now to my problem. Recently I was driving and noticed the check engine light came on. I went home and did the test to see what code it gave. I got the 21 code but everything seems fine with the car, no misfire, idle is good, acceleration is the same as when I bought it. I mean no signs of obvious failure. If no misfire is happening I can rule out the coil packs right? Which is about 98% of posts saying it is. If anyone has had this happen and found the issues let me know please. No other lights are on.   The car WAS due for an oil change. I since then changed it so idk if that triggers code 21. Either way it hasn’t turned off.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?

      Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event.
