M35 Still Stalling - Not Idling Properly

[zei20l]

ohh it was certainly warmed up when we did the learning lol

[andy65b]

OK ,, UPDATE

I bought a cheap ODB cable off ebay as a speculator that it may work on the M35 as I do not know of any other ones that work. FAIL

I have now learnt that many Nissans that are JDM only have a very odd (read unique) ODB protocol. The Protocol it uses does not work logically which is why the software seems to have a problem. There are some Very Expensive options that can be purchased that will work on our car but we are talking around $500 and that is too rich for me.

There may be another option on the horizon that may help. I am waiting to see a prototype but it will be a few months before it is ready but the cost is reasonable.

I will keep you posted.

Cheers

Andy

just out of curiosity, what program did you use to talk to it? and what does the cable look like?

i found some OBDII software on the net, haven't tryed it because i dont have an OBDII car to try it on. i think its called Scantech or something like that, might be worth a try.

No worries. Which cable do you have?

Let me know if it works, would make things a bit more interesting for me

[zei20l]

its a generic one that i bought from someone from silvia nsw. he was making them himself and worked with my S15s. i wonder if it will work with the M35?

i've been using a belkin serial convertor with a couple of the different consult software for a while now with out a problem. this is also on a couple different laptops, one's even a mac.

is the M35 OBD port the same as older nissans?

Wouldn't that be OBD-I though?

M35's are OBD-II

[zei20l]

i have no idea really. i guess ill find out lol

Josh,

If you don't mind could you give me the name or a link for the Mac software you used for consulting?

I'm on a MacBook Pro and had given up any chance of using for consult because everything was PC based.

The M35 is OBDII, is that going to cause issues?

anyone know if the connection is the same between the two. i have this funny feeling its only the protocol that is different (I or II) but the plug/interface is the same.......

OBD 2 is different to OBD, but that is only the start of it. There are then about 5 protocols (that I have worked out so far) that are used by different companies. Nissan are using KWP2000. I am told that this would not normally be a problem but Nissan have used some different logic in the process. Not quite sure how this works out in the real world but it has meant so far that some of the ones that by all logic should work have not.

These include:

http://blazt.biz/index.php (works on the V35)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RK%3AMEWAX%3AIT (did not work)

I have read al lot about the pins and what they all mean. This site may help make sens of it all.

http://www.scantool.net/support/index.php?...p;kbarticleid=3 (where are type A)

Our pins are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 16.

Hope this helps you guys work out more information.

If any one knows of any reasonable priced system that will work with the M35, please let me know.

Cheers

its only a trial and then you have to register it, its the only Mac ported software i've found ConSultan

i also have a macbook pro, and i've only just started using ConSultan (im still on the trial period), but i also run a Parallels XP Virtual Machine and use all the windows based consult software like ECUTalk without a problem.
