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:

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.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
