R34 and OBD2

Oi oi

Just a quick question... and I'm really after just a straight yes or no answer on this...

I'm looking at buying a gift for somebody I know who owns an R34 GTT - one of those OBD 2 Head Up Displays, much like this: https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/obdii-car-head-display/ (revs, speed, temp, alerts, etc).
I know the R34s predate 2007, and therefore don't conform to the OBDII standard (even though the 'standard' is actually three different protocols). But I know the R34s have the Consult port.

My question is... if I buy one of those adaptors on eBay to connect the OBD device to the Consult port, will the HUD work as intended?

Peace.

The only person who could give you a straight yes or no is someone who has tried it and I can't imagine why anyone would since as you have already pointed out Nissan Consult is not compatible with any OBD standards.

First of all, I asked if anybody had tried connecting an OBD device to a Consult port using an adaptor cable. From your response, I take it you haven't.
So how are you helping me by essentially telling me that you don't know?

Secondly, I didn't say they were *incompatible*, I said that they didn't conform to the standard. There are plenty of instances of pre-OBD cars connecting to OBD devices, assuming the right connector is in the middle. And I'd lay money on the fact that if you plugged it in, SOME data would make it through. I'm just wondering whether it's the data I'd want.

Thirdly, "I can't imagine why anybody would"? Are you serious? People get curious. And I KNOW I'm not the first person on the internet to ask the question that I did, because many googlings proved that to me. So I'm NOT the only person out there wondering about this - but NOBODY is answering.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
