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. :)

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

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      By Duncan · Posted

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful

      Rb's have issues with bottom end starvation, not head starvation. Which either way, you probably wouldn't ever see on a dyno. Strange... What's pump gas for you? Octane rating?
