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.

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 :rolleyes:. 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.

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 :banana: , 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.

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! :P

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.

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.

      Left & Right Window Regulators for 2013 Skyline V36 Coupe

      Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By Duncan · Posted

      Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.

      Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.

      Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
