Its been a while since I have read these forums, but I thought others may be interested and I only found a couple of very brief post on it.

I thought I would let people know that the $15 bluetooth OBD II eg http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190868683257 work on our imported Nissan Skyline 2003 V350GT coupe.

The trick is that there are only a few apps that will actually connect to our cars, right off the market. Everyone suggest "Torque" which does not work straight up and "DashCommand" looks great, but also did not work for me.

The software that DID work is "Nissan DataScan II Lite" and "EconTool ELM327 for Nissan"

and

hmm I tried to attach screenshot and vid, but it failed for me. Sorry.

I bought one of those Bluetooth adaptors about 6 months ago and it wouldn't work on my V35. But then again, it wouldn't work on my wife's J31 either, so it might just be faulty.

And it doesn't work for me UNLESS I specifically run the above software. The added bonus is that you can have some hint (ie if the adapter works) with the connect providing status info also, I notice they are currently up to V1.5 on the adapters. do you know what version you had? I am also good with android and am running on KitKat, and know my bluetooth connected to the adapter. On the software that did not work, it actually came back saying that the phone connected to the adapter, but could not connect to the ECU.

Do you remember what ver you had? and where it failed?

I'm fairly sure it was V1.5. I could pair it with my phone or tablet ok, with the ignition turned OFF, it would query the adaptor and return the adaptor version, once I turned the ignition on, and queried again to find the ECU, it wouldn't even return the adaptor version number, let alone the ECU details.

Same symptoms on both cars and both from my android tablet and phone (both running Kitkat)

I was also using NDSII lite and I also tried Torque.

Torque never worked for me either or DashCommand. Although there is a paid add-on to the paid Torque app version that implies it will connect to Nissan cars.

It sounds as if there could of been a bug in the version of the Android app you tried, as both the apps listed above had no issues attaching to my ECU. If you still have the plug, maybe download the latest versions of the above two apps and try again. I do notice on their change history that they say something like "Improve connection to ECU". Try the other app that works for me as well, its not as graphical (not that either are compared to Torque), but still connects to my ECU and provides the data.

I have had cases where if I leave the bluetooth adapter plugged in, it wont re-connect until I unplug it and re-plug it in, but that's about it. Oh, and its a little bit of a guessing game as to how long it takes to be up and receiving results.

I have a v1.5 ELM327 mini, thought i wasted my time when it would not work with torque but after some fiddling found it does work with the "EconTool ELM327 for Nissan" app. Still is really sketchy as a couldn't connect again after trying a different app but I've only messed with it once.

"Nissan DataScan II Lite" won't connect for me at all though, just tells me it is unable to connect.

Don't know if my series 2 V35 is different with the protocols, i thought i was safe with torque as the 2005 onwards is obdii compliant not the consult.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
