Hi Guys,

My son has just bought a 2k R34 gt-t sedan and I have bought his Silvia and I was planning on buying the PLMS interface cable and Nissan datascan software to use on both cars.

Has anyone used these products and how user friendly are they?

I have been building NA engines on my early cars for years but am a newbie when it comes to FI and Turbo cars so will I be able to use this setup.

I'm mainly concerned with basic maintenance such as reading and re-setting fault codes but no doubt once familiar with the system will be doing tweaking as well.

Any advise or suggestions from those familiar with this software will be much appreciated.

Mark.

yep its fine, u shouldnt have any problems (unless he has a ca18 silvia which wont work as it doesnt support consult). if you want to save $50, a combination of the free consult software alternatives (ecutalk, calumsult and tecu, dl locations here) will do all that datascan does, especially if you dont plan to use it for more than diagnostics, but datascan is the best software out if you can afford it

though the cost all up at around $170 for cable + datascan is almost as much as a standalone ecutalk consult lcd display (link) which was $200 last time it was sold, and should be a new version in a couple of months for similar price. no need for a laptop etc (though should have consult interface mode so u can use it like a normal cable)

whichever way you go, you wont be disappointed

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.

      I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
