Fell in love with M35 Stagea and now I want to import one for myself.

The problem is that it would be the first in Finland and to get it approved it has to have OBD (on board diagnostics)

and there is no information about that in the net, or atleast I can't find it.

Some japanese JDM-cars have it, some don't. I know that for example S15 Silvia doesn't have it

Is anyone familiar with OBD ?

Thanks for Your help...

America has a similar requirement for OBD and there is a standard, OBD II, which I am sure all current Japanese cars will meet. Nissan had their own version of OBD called "consult" but this is not compatible with OBD reading equipment. I don't know when Nissan changed over to an OBD compliant system - maybe a current M35 owner (my car is older) can tell you.

Can not tell you for sure, but I can faintly remember reading that Consult 3 is OBD compliant.

Consult 2 works on NM35's, Consult 1 does not.

I do not know about Consult 3, but I hazard a guess that it would be fine if your dealerships over there use it.

Given that the M35 is very similar to the V35, and the V35 is sold in the US and is OBD2 complaint then I'd be very surprised if it wasn't.

Connector on a V35 is under the dash below the steering column on the drivers side - unclip a little panel and there it is (just checked it was there on my V35 250GT). Most likely in the same place in a M35 given that they share the same dash setup.

Chris Rogers might know for sure where the connector is on a M35.

Also might be worth talking to this guy who sells OBDII/scan tools for Nissan's (he's based in NZ):

Looks like his scan tool hasn't been tested on a Stagea, but has been tested on a V35.

its in the same place as a V35 - above your left foot.

I have used a generic tool (launch 431) on one and it's OBD2 compliant. the protocols are nissan specific for the early ones (later are CAN) but it;s OBD2 ( they put that in place after 96 or so.)

working on the V35/M35 theory I do not see a problem with the BLAZT items.
