No, it's not really an Rs232c protocol.

I have writen by now 2 applications that use the consult protocol: Data Scan - for monitoring and logging a real time data and Rom Reader - for downloading the ROM data.

The Data Scan is especially good for diagnosing faults and those flat spots. You can see some of the logs that i have done here:

The CMX100 looks like a cool little unit. But it measures just 4 parameters. I presume you had to 'guess' the format of the commands to get the other parameters based on the commands from the CMX100.

What are your plans for the software you have written?

Its for the factory ECU. It plugs into the diag port on the r33 and then connects to the laptop. The conzult software then translates all the responses from the diag port into stuff on the screen, much like the screen captures from the 300zx-twinturbo site.

The 300zx guys tested on an rb25det and it didnt work.

So their site says anyway:)

The only thing stopping you from doing this yourself is

1) you need the plug so you can plug your PC into the conzult port _ well i guess you could guess the wiries and make a custom plug

2) you need the software that communicates with the port - 300zxtwinturbo wanna sell it for $600 a pop and that include a cable to plug into the conzult port

nissan have a hardware version which is worth around 19k brand new. you cant buy nor can use it. its like the hand controller for the apexi powerFC, similar concept, all handheld changes and stuff, no need for laptop.

TomR33: Can you help out with 1 or 2?

Maybe the guys on aus300 just dont wanna share, i hear the owner of that system on the forum is not the friendliest guy.

Im meeting up with a good mate off the 300 forum today, ill ask him :) i know he has used conzult system on his 300ztt

edit:forgot to add that there are LOTS of similarities between vg30 and rb series engines, in terms of electrics, sensors etc..so id be surprised if it didnt work...

Albeit its mainly only used for fault finding and the like. Shows sensor failures and their values. Yes you could data log the 1/4 mile etc but not sure how useful it would be on a day to day basis.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Do the following first and get back to us. - Clean and verify your IACV - Verify for vacuum leaks/post MAF leaks. (Pressure test is the best and cheapest way) - Do you have a BOV with stock ecu/MAF? If so, remove it.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, The skyline I have is stalling when the engine is at normal operating temp.  When starting it while it is cold, it'll run just fine.  I have replaced the battery (bad cell), I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and clean the MAF sensor.  Any other suggestions?

      Thanks for all the information on this.  I tried ordering the parts from Amayama website and all 3 Solenoids are discontinued and not available.  Does anyone have any other websites to suggest that I could find the parts?   Separate issue-- I will start a new thread, but basically the vehicle is stalling when warmed up.

      It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including.
