I know this has been touched on in some threads before, but I thought I'd post because I couldn't find the details I was after.

What protocol does the '03 350gt skyline coupe use? Some threads say to use Consult 2 (which I thought was a specific cable/software), whereas others say JOBD (Japanese OBD) which isn't a protocol either..

One thread says "a variant of J1850", another "SAE J1979"...

If that is the case, then this reader should work:

Another forum says that it's a "mixture of CANbus and K-line protocols".

(The G35 seems to use the standard OBD2 adapter with ISO15765-4 CAN protocol (which has many adapters available, like the generic ELMscan.))

The Blitz cable that was mentioned, no longer seems to be available. http://www.blazt.biz/information/cars.php (they appear to have shutdown.. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/391191-whats-happened-to-blazt/)

I'm after something like this: http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?products_id=2647

What readers do people use for JDM cars? Given the interest in the import scene, I would have thought that there would be readers available.

The Torque app only appears to be for OBD2: http://torque-bhp.com/

Nissan Data Scan has an adapter and display app, however the display looks about as old as the protocols they are using... It could use an update!

This scanner seems to cover the JOBD & has been in the UK:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OBDMATE-OM500-JOBD-OBDII-EOBD-Code-Reader-Scanner-/380503945578

However, I'm looking for something that I can interface with a tablet (via bluetooth or USB.)

Thanks :yes:

I have been using the obdII cable and software from nissandatascan, it works fine for my V35 and my wife's J31 maxima.

I don't care what the interface looks like. It's there to do a job, not look pretty.

Shame they don't read all the ecu's though. The Chinese knockoff Consult 3 is the best reader for diagnosing I have found. It is quite complicated to navigate the software though.

I see this from both perspectives. If I were looking for a scan tool as a business requirement, it'd be the Launch for me too. But since I'm only interested in servicing my own vehicles, I've found the Chinese clone of the Nissan Consult III+ along with the Nissan software is the only way to be sure I've got the most thorough tool for the job. Call me confident but I even bought it before I got the car. :)

By OBDII cable, are you referring to the Blazt style cable (with an OBD style port)?

Regarding the interface, in my opinion, I need it to look a certain way to be functional. When I look at the Nissandatascan software, I can't see what I require while I'm driving -so it's not suitable for me.

It communicates via an RS232 port, which is very limited. I might try to connect this to USB (emulating a COM port.)

Launch for me. CE5 based so a port of it could be done to windows easily enough.

Are you referring to Launch X431?

http://www.vtoolshop.com/launch-x431-x431-nissan-diagnostic-scanner-parts_p392.html

I'm still confused as to what protocol the 2003 v35 is using. Hopefully we can work out a solution so that the data can be displayed in an app like Torque. :yes:

By OBDII cable, are you referring to the Blazt style cable (with an OBD style port)?

Yes, the Blazt-II cable, although Blazt has gone out of business now, you can still purchase the same OBDII interface cable through www.nissandatascan.com. (same chineese supplier that Blazt was purchasing them from)

Oh, so you want to display engine data?

I am using the Greddy informeter touch, good little unit and works on our cars, but it doesn't output data afaik.

Another option is the HKS Camp 2 which is the older reader, then the best option, HKS ob-link for android. It is a bluetooth dongle.

The HKS OB-link looks perfect. Do you know where these can be purchased from? Is there a generic / Chinese version available?

The Carscope Android app looks like the type of display I was after:

http://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/product/electronics/monitor/ob-link/

local retail on the HKS link is $229. I'll check a jp price at that cost.

I've not had any luck with an ELM/Bluetooth adapter on any import.

Scott, is the software for the china-sult all English? ie can work through everything, just not intuitive? How well does it support the range of settings in each car that you have tried?

It is the Nissan Consult 3 software, it can do everything you could ever want it to, if you can find the menu in the tree. Supports OBD2 and Consult plugs.

Consult 3+ is a much easier program to use, but the 3+ readers are still drug money for some reason.

It is a knock off software, normally the original Nissan software would only run on a Toughbook, (yes I have tried to install it.) The Chinese have hacked it to work on anything.

I also bought the UK software (on ebay) that allows reprogramming/flashing of the ecu's, and Nats reprogramming etc.

Good news, the HKS OBLINK looks to be read the ODB port of the CPV35.

    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
    • It sounds farrrrrrr too cold at your place Duncan... Here I was thinking our 10 degrees overnight is getting cold...
