nope it doesn't read knock sensor values, the consult port does not make them available.

Otherwise it is great, we started my engine for the first time after the rebuild today, and it was great having the display to make sure everything is OK

all 5 wires are needed to get everything to work. There is not one wire which it needs to get the ignition timing.

I have *heard* that connecting up your own consult port works with the CA18 ecu (consult is supported, but Nissan never hooked it up). I haven't seen this with my own eyes so i dont know how true it is.

I have spent the last hour researching it and am having trouble finding wheather the ecu has the Tx Rx and clk. The only ecu diagrams I have don't have them listed.

I have also heard of a guy with a datto 1600 running a ca18det who has hooked up a consult port

not really much, just some guy told me the supposed tx, rx, and clk pinout from the ecu, I dont want to post it up untill I have evidence that its correct or Ive tested it incase it frazzles ecus.

i ve had my screen a couple of days and it is awesome already found a couple of problems that were easily fixed and have probably saved me the cost of the screen.

However i cant seem to get the software to work I am using a USB to serial converter which seems to be working (getting Rx lights flashing) but software wont connect.

Interesting, we had the same problem with a serial to USB converter....but a second model worked fine?

I had some problems, it'd create a virtual serial port 3 and it wa a no go, but if i disable the REAL serial port 2 and force the virtual to serial port 2 THEN it worked. Go figure?

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
