M35 Obd2 Or Is It?

[bigkevracer]

Surely PNM35 is different? Different ECU, maybe it is compatible with some more of these tools?

The HKS OB-Link quotes NM35 compatibility, might be PM35 compatible too? Gives you an app you can view on Android.

For what its worth, my software can see NM35s and PM35 stuff, error codes, and run some diagnostic tests. Laptop isn't as pretty as infometer, but then it does a lot more too.

Only states VQ25det and VQ25dd. Have asked the question though since Torque doesn't talk to my car

Well, I've given up on the GoPoint Cable (Scotty was right - it didn't work). The PNM35, even thought it is newer, is still not OBDII compliant . The cable didn't even work on a VT Commodore, although it did work on a VZ. I then tried a mates Scangauge and it didn't work on the Stag either.

Oh and on a side note I think I need to brush up on my multimeter skills. I have since checked Pin 16 again and it actually has a constant 12 volts. Also the pin layout of the OBD connector is the same as CAN Bus (http://plxdevices.com/obd/) if that means anything.

Anyway, I have since purchased the ECUDatascan (http://www.ecudatascan.com.au/home.html), which supports Nissan Consult, and it actually works . I get 21 parameters including water temp, air temp and speed. Interestingly, as this unit has a built in GPS, I was able to display both ECU speed and GPS speed and they are almost the same, whereas the speedo is 10% out. Unfortunately, it doesn't display any fuel mileage parameters, which is what I was really hoping for. I think the ECUDatascan is capable of displaying them, so I'm guessing the OBD port doesn't support these PIDs, unless someone knows otherwise.

To get fuel consumption, maybe it would be easier to retrofit the factory display and computer . It was fairly easy retrofitting the trip computer from a Skyline Silhouette into my R31 wagon. In the meantime I will just continue using Road Trip (manual entry) on my iPhone.

Otherwise it seems like a good unit. It can display graphs, digital or analogue gauges, check engine codes and can even do track times. There is also a cable available which allows it to plug into the early Skylines and I assume C34 Stageas. Here is a pic of the unit.

Man, for that price you might as well get a Informeter or the OB-Link if you've got an Android device...

I own a Hr 31 and I willl say now that a LOT of stuff has changed over the years. whilst the earlier cars are a LOT easier to retrofit things to - the newer ones aren't.

to get the screen you need to have a different cluster, all the wiring and the electronics. without the cluster none of it works.

NDS will do pretty much anything. short of having a proper scan tool (launch diagun for me) thats the next best thing.

I purchased a little gadget from trademe.co.nz recently and it's great. It's a Bully Dog GT (Gauge Tuner). Plugs into the OBD port and is preloaded (memory card) with info to allow it to work with Infiniti/Nissan. I have to thank KiwiRS4T (Bob) for discovering this and mentioning it in another thread. I actually thought iamhe77 (Cam) was going to buy it, but the auction closed with no bids. So after it was relisted and some online research, I purchased it. Cam, if you want to know anything about it, just give me a yell. The website www.bullydog.com has some good info as well.

It shows a number of PIDs, DTCs, fuel economy , performance tests and it can even do some minor tuning, although I haven't checked this out yet. The economy info is quaint with a score and tips. Although the screen is very small, it is very clear and easy to read. It isn't a touch screen but the buttons on the sides are capacitive touch so very easy to use.

I'm not sure if it will work on a series I but am happy to try if anyone wants to drop by. I'm fairly certain it would work on a V35.

Interesting. Trans temp - cool!

How much? (googled- wow, RRP is expensive.)

You may have to find a NM35 and plug it in to see if it works the same.

So that's 3 devices you have tried. You weren't joking about wanting a fuel economy display, lol.

What are you doing with the old ECUdatascan?

Looks like he needs it. If your driving returns 199L/100km it's time to do something about it!

Haha, at that rate I couldn't even get to the end of my road before running out.

Thread resurrection - has anyone found a cheap alternative in all the current options?

Perhaps this at moderate cost ($175)? Mentions JOBD, KWP2000, and "Vehicle coverage for Nissan ( 1996 to 2014 )" with Stagea in the list

Would prefer to find a IOS/Android app tho.

Hob drive android app. Can show and clear dtc's and read all sensors. Works on m35, i use it with a vgate wifi obd dongle.

Great - i've ordered that one.

[admS15]

Great - i've ordered that one.

The only time i have any sort of issue connecting is when im in my driveway at home and my android stereo tries to connect to my home wifi instead of the vlink. Its not really an issue, as it automatically connects while im driving away but yeah just be aware that can happen.

Here's a pic of what the home screen looks like.
