i have the consult to laptop/computer serial cable and software, its not the "nissan consult" but it uses the same protocol and obtains the same data. the proper nissan consult is like $15,000 and is only for use with nissan staff you can't buy it, and you wouldn't want too anyway. i got the consult data cable for $120 delievered

pm me if you want any more info

I'm interested on this consult. What ECU / vehicle does it work on? Got an R34 25GT Sedan that been having the Check Engine light coming on. Couldn't find the screw on the ECU to switch it into Mode II Diagnostic.

gaki.....the vehicle has an on board diagnosis function.....it is activated by earthing one of the wires in the diagnostic connector ....you will see a little door/panel that unclips from on the lower steering column trim....thats where it lives....i cant remember which wire it is but you just switch the ignition on and earth it momentary and it enters diag mode.........to check which one it is....just check for positive power and you know its not that one.....you cant harm anything from earthing something thats not live....anyway once it enters diag mode the lamp will start to flash....to exit just switch the ingition off

Is there any difference at all between the Nissan CONSULT and the one you have? Does it have exactly the same functions?

Why do you guys insist on using the consult?????  :confused:

From what I understand, CONSULT can give you a little extra information and make it easier to diagnose issues. The whole flashing light sequence thing is difficult to use.

In my case I have an issue with HICAS and while I can get it into diagnostic mode, the flashes are bizarre: there is short flashes, a medium flash, and long flashes.

For $120, perhaps CONSULT is a better option.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
