ECUTalk USB Nissan Consult Cable Interface - Australian Made

This cable connects most Nissan cars with the 14 pin grey consult port to a laptop via the USB port (without the need for USB/Serial adaptors) for diagnostic and data logging purposes, to check sensors are operating correctly, to check/clear error codes, etc (more details below). This cable comes with a CD containing the USB drivers/install guides and consult software listed below (which includes the ECUTalk software). Now you can help diagnose problems with your car without a trip to a Nissan workshop.

This cable has a miniature (SMD) circuit (see pictures below) inside the USB plastic connector to interface with the Nissan Consult diagnostic port, and it uses the genuine Nissan Consult connector which fits perfectly and on most cars allows the fuse box cover to be closed with the cable connected which makes driving with it connected easier. These cables were designed by us in Australia (so there is no middle man). They use an FTDI chip for USB functionality.

ECUTalk USB Consult Cable

Once connected (and USB drivers from the CD are installed), and the car is on or running and your chosen software loaded, you can then (depending on which software you are using):

View sensor data (e.g. gauges, also ECUTalk software also has economy/fuel consumption/distance, etc 'sensors')

Sensors include (there are others depending on car model): RPM, Speed, O2, Throttle, Battery, Timing, Air Flow, Duty Cycle, Water Temperature, AAC, etc

Log sensor data (for later graphing in Excel, etc)

View error codes, and the number of times the car has started since the error code was logged

Clear error codes

Aid in adjusting idle by locking timing to allow comparison with a timing light

Allow other 'active tests' to be performed, such as shutting off cylinders (if one cylinder is misfiring, you can discover which by turning them off one at a time)

These tasks can be performed with software that will be provided on a CD with the cable:

ECUTalk (our own software, gauges pictured below left)

OBD Scantech 1.29 Nissan (gauges pictured below right)

Conzult (freeware version, picture furthest below)

Calumsult

Suitable for most Nissan car models from 1989-2000 that have the 14 pin grey consult port, which is typically found near or attached to the in-cabin fuse box. It will not work for newer vehicles with the OBDII plug (e.g. 350Z). It wont work if you have replaced your ECU with any aftermarket one like PowerFC, Autronic, EMS, etc (but remaps or daughterboards like Nistune with the original ECU are OK). The popular Nissans in Australia that are supported includes (but is not limited to - just check for the consult port if your car isnt listed):

R32 Skyline (9/89+ only, first few months from launch in 6/89 did not support consult)

R33 Skyline

R34 Skyline

S13 Silvia / 180SX / 200SX (SR20 engines only, not CA18)

S14 Silvia / 180SX / 200SX

S15 Silvia / 180SX / 200SX (check for consult connector)

Z32 300ZX (except for 96 model which might not work with all software)

N14 Pulsar (including GTiR)

N15 Pulsar

B13 NX Coupe

K11 Micra (check for plug, some late model may have an OBDII plug instead)

U12 Pintara (KA24 only)

U13 Bluebird

A32 Maxima

GQ Patrol (TB42E only)

GU Patrol (TB45E, RD28ETi, TD42Ti - check plug, some TB45E have an OBDII plug instead, as do all ZD30)

R50 Pathfinder (VG33E, 95-05, check your port as some later models have an OBDII plug instead)

Been used once but then upgraded ECU to a power fc and have no use for it anymore. .

cheers guys!

$80 including postage to 2777?

I'll have a Nistune on my Bnr32 - so I presume that interface will reflect accurate readings?

If so to these two questions I'll take it.Ta

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
