I know this has been touched on in some threads before, but I thought I'd post because I couldn't find the details I was after. What protocol does the '03 350gt skyline coupe use? Some threads say to use Consult 2 (which I thought was a specific cable/software), whereas others say JOBD (Japanese OBD) which isn't a protocol either.. One thread says "a variant of J1850", another "SAE J1979"... If that is the case, then this reader should work: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mini-OBD2-OBDII-Bluetooth-Auto-Diagnostic-Scanner-Adapter-TORQUE-ANDROID-/190898350248 Another forum says that it's a "mixture of CANbus and K-line protocols". (The G35 seems to use the standard OBD2 adapter with ISO15765-4 CAN protocol (which has many adapters available, like the generic ELMscan.)) The Blitz cable that was mentioned, no longer seems to be available. http://www.blazt.biz/information/cars.php (they appear to have shutdown.. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/391191-whats-happened-to-blazt/) I'm after something like this: http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?products_id=2647 What readers do people use for JDM cars? Given the interest in the import scene, I would have thought that there would be readers available. The Torque app only appears to be for OBD2: http://torque-bhp.com/ Nissan Data Scan has an adapter and display app, however the display looks about as old as the protocols they are using... It could use an update! http://www.nissandatascan.com/ This scanner seems to cover the JOBD & has been in the UK: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OBDMATE-OM500-JOBD-OBDII-EOBD-Code-Reader-Scanner-/380503945578 However, I'm looking for something that I can interface with a tablet (via bluetooth or USB.) Thanks

As the technology is getting smaller and more portable I was thinking of hooking up a ODB scanner to my 2006 V36 350GT SP skyline and outputting the values onto a iPad mini. I am trying to figure out what would be the best ODB Scanner to use? I have been told I need a wifi unit as the Bluetooth units won't talk to Apple as they speak different language. I had a odd warning that through net searching found out it was to do with the oil however would prefer to have a scan tool to help me with these warnings if they happen again. If anyone could point me in the right direction of an affordable unit that would be great. I have searched on here and basically I can see the one that you need a XP laptop for however I would like one to use with an iPad not laptop. thanks for any suggestions. I got a Vgate odb2 scanner that works a treat on the wife's Ford however hopeless with the skyline.
