Have been looking for a consult 3 diagnosis at the Nissan dealer around my place and they don't have one, but still offered to come and try their tool...

Instead of wasting time with them, I'd rather drive to meet someone from here that has one.

We could probably have a list of everyone owning one here to save time for anyone else looking and make a few $ for the owners.

I'm personally looking around Sydney but if you have one, tell your State and diag tool so I can make a list.

Nissan service department didn't have a Consult 3? I don't believe that for a second. Some other readers will work for engine diagnosis, not many will talk to all 8 ecu's.

I have one in Hampton Park, SE Melbourne, Victoria. :)

Consult is an old plug interface, for older model cars. The M35 uses an obd2 plug but is not obd2 compliant, so you need the Consult 3 hardware Nissan use to read it properly.

It's a garage that sells a bunch of car makes including Nissan and the guy I had on the phone told me they use a different brand of diagnostic tool and isn't sure they will be able to talk to the car (after I said it was a stagea..)

At $156/hour, I'm not too keen to go find out :D

ps: not sure why but can't edit my posts to update it :/

well I've got a consult 3 in Sydney, happy to plug it in for only $155.99/hr.

Or for nothing.

BTW most generic scan tools at your average workshop should still work I think, the local place was certainly able to read my non-OBD2 Cima the other day

That would be super cool, even for $155.99, rather give that to someone that has the right tools :)

Seriously though, had a transmission light turning on and since it's the TCU I want to read, would probably have more luck with a consult 3.

Happy to help with your $$ investment in the tool of course. PM sent

    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House
