OK so a while back, i started playing around with the settings in Nissan Datascan

Then it stopped showing the sensors, despite everything else working.. wasn't sure what caused this so tried playing around with the settings

i accidentally changed to COM port to 4, and now when i tart it up, it says "runtime error 8002: wrong port"

and then it closes down so i can't change back to COM port 1 !!!

i tried uninstallingthe program, resetting, then re-installing, but it retains the old settings rather than reverting to default settings!

can anyone help me??

cheers,

Warren

The port selection might be stored in the registry of your computer. An uninstall should clear the setting but may not. You could try running regedit and have a look around for anything that resembles settings for the Datascan software, but be vary cafefull not to F*ck with anything not related with the nissan stuff or you could screw your computer.

Alternatively the port setting might be stored in a .INI file some where on your HD. I have never used the software so dont really know for sure, but I write software for a living and those two places are where I would store such a setting. maybe searching for Datascan.ini or nissan.ini might yeld some results. Also have a look in "program files" for the install directory, there might be a datafile in there with the setting.

just guessing though, as I said I dont know anything about the Datascan software...

i understand the Datascan is on your laptop mate! :) and was just trouble shooting a bit !

Logicly i was thinking you may have altered a bios setting in the Actual Nissan ECU if it was possible. Maybe its not? as i am just guessing like GunMetalR33 stated.

laptop....

GunmetalR33 gave good advice for program trace removal . I will add that sometimes it may be called another name in the program files other than Datascan, example "NISSAN" mo.

use search registry for "Datascan" and install files by date if you get what i mean

*.ini , *.bat "*" being datascan related.

If your on Xp system restore.

Is there a free download ,Support, FAQ of it somewhere so i can work out how to reset it for you ?

oh hang on here it is!

Read the SUPPORT SECTION it explains it perfectly

Update after install

Path to program files > C:\Program Files\Nissan Data Scan

registry serch > from commandline > run > regedit > Edit > Find > Datascan > remove values

1. When I start the NDS software I get an error message and the application shuts down.

You have probably entered a wrong COM port number and ticked the "Auto connect to ECU" option. To fix the problem you will need to reset the registry settings.

* Go to start->Run and type regedit.

* Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\NDataScan" and delete the whole NDataScan entry.

* Close the Registry Editor and try running the software again. It will save the default settings to the registry file.

Don't tick the "Auto connect to ECU" option until you successfully establish a connection.

Warning: Take note of your Activation Key, you will need to re-enter it to activate the software.

2. When I click the Connect button I get an error message and the application shuts down.

You have probably entered an invalid COM port number. Try changing the "Port" setting in "Communication" to a port that you know exists.

i cant get past the key at the moment so thats as far as i go :woot:

      "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about

      Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .

      Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
