Hi Guys,

Apologies in advance if this has been answered before, i've been searching the forums and elsewhere, but still haven't came accross a solid answer.

I've got a 97 R33 GTST, and i'm trying to determine what the diagnostics system is. Is it an ODB compliant interface? I want to know as a friend has some software that can interface with ODB2, and if i've got it, i'd like to give it a spin.

I've seen the word CONSULT alot when searching, is this a different standard than ODB?

its odb. Theres heaps of free software that interfaces with it however you'll need the usb>diagnosis plug connector (plmsdevelopments.com)

odb2 is a little newer, like used in the v35 (2000+ model cars), different plug too i think

consult reads the odb from the ecu via the diagnosis plug connector

you can use it to monitor sensors and check for faults

you dont need the connector or consult interface to do those either

its not obd, nor obd2. its nissan's proprietary consult. youll need a 'consult cable', and then consult software on your pc (heaps of free software available). consult cables can be got from blazt.biz or plmsdevelopments.com

consult is on all R33, R34 and on 9/89+ R32's (or 10/89, forget), since they werent subject to being sold in USA and therefore no requirement for OBD2 in 96+

    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
    • When you looking to buy injectors?? I could possibly sell you my 1d1700s for decent price. Done little work I just need bigger again 😫
