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.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
