Xp, I was given an old IBM lappy, bought a $20 battery for it and loaded just the Consult III and Fcon software for the car. It boots in no time and has the serial out I need for the fcon, to save running one of those damn usb/serial converters.

hmm OK I might do the same. even with a 2nd hand laptop it's a very cheap way to work with nissans.

Trav, that's right, it says no registered VI/MI. I have registered the serial number but it won't connect. It seems to have a Bluetooth connection in Win7 which creates 2 com ports (which I had to set to com3 and com4 for the virtual session). The virtual session has the 2 com ports mapped but the software won't recognise it. Alternatively I connect via USB, I think the issue there is the lack of a Win7 driver for the Consult because it is available in the virtual session under the USB menu, but again isn't recognised by the software.

This thread really isn't about connecting consults on Win7 so I'll start a new one if I get it sorted, if not I might just pick up an 2nd hand laptop....would be a shame because I've managed to get everything else (eg FAST) working through the virtual session or native on win 7 (datalogit etc)

Ahh ok because i couldnt get mine to work but worked fine after following this: http://www.obd2repair.com/news/nissan-scanner-consult-iii-vimi-registration-instruction-a-433.html

Hope you get it sorted, definitely worth getting an old laptop for it though they are so cheap these days.

Lol haha yeah I nearly checked , ok I'll have a look there Google isn't being real help full and I'm trying to look for my manual with no success ,

Searches on Google often take some time, as threads are often hijacked & taken off-topic. :yes:

So more  specific software like Nissan consult and the required hardware is needed to even read info from the ecu on a 09 v36 3.7l huh? So my generic elm327 and torque app won't work? Mine doesn't work and google search leads me to believe this but thought I'd check to make sure in this old thread.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
