Android / iphone software is 'hobdrive'. The ebay link to the wifi obd2 dongle is now dead, so its a lucky dip to find one that will work. I'd go for wifi over bluetooth, and I have a weird memory that getting something with VW Golf support is more likely to work... or maybe i just made that up.

 

Thanks but I have a VQ25DET motor  in the  series 1 ,2002 stage NM35  which isn't in the list josh supplied.

Thanks for the link  but there seems a few issues one you search  through the comments. I will follow up and see if I get a response.

Is anyone certain which protocol is used by Nissan for the OBD 2 tool

eg Ancel  BM700  OBD scanner definitely won't work.

The list is not comprehensive. If you want to be sure NDS2 offers a trial mode where you can check to see if it will pair and what modules it supports. NDS2 is implementing the Consult 2 protocol so it is probably the most likely to support your car.

Which model phone are you using to read the data.

 

Its not compatible with Pixel 2 I believe,  which is what I have.Pixel 3 is ok

I have access to an iPhone 6 which I believe will work

How good is the HKS product ,as it will be a $300import from Japan plus gst.

I was hoping for a solution around half that price but if its a killer tool then I can be swayed

will it do a Mazda 3 or skyline1996 or most vehicles beyond 2010?

 

I just read a comment that Carscope plus is not supported by IOS13and that the HKSunit was useless

NDS2 is 70 AUD and it needs a VAG K+CAN cable which is like 34 AUD. It's free to try especially if you have any friends with what is a fairly basic OBD2 to USB cable. HKS OB-Link is a generic diagnostic tool, it's not going to even have a chance of reading out all the other CAN modules on your car, talking to those is manufacturer-specific. If you want 100% compatibility for diagnostics then get a real Consult II and whatever subscription is required to keep it functioning. I'm willing to bet that the next best thing is NDS2.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
