Hi guys,

Sorry if I ask an old question but i've looked around and no clear answer..

I'm looking to buy a scan tool for my v35 skyline 2003 model. I have had the check engine light come on and would like to fix the problem myself.

There are a lot on eBay at all different prices.

I have also read the ones (obd2) work for the g35 (US model) but not the v35.

So I ask is there a clear winner here?

Which scan tool works best for my v35 and where to buy.

Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure as i've never looking into a scanning device.

But i've used the OBD2 port with an american device before (For tuning) and all i had to do was move a pin from slot 2 to slot 8 or something close to that, then it worked.

I have a Blazt-II and it works fine. Also allows you to do the idle learn procedure without needing to press the throttle 10 times, with a stop watch, holding your tounge right while standing on one leg, etc..

The developer of the nissan datascan software that you use with this cable is regularly updating it with extra features. I have asked him if he can include the ST angle Adj. with the next update.

The blazt.biz webpage went down toward the end of last year, it seems a baptist church has grabbed the name..

You can order the cable through the above webpage.

Scan tool sounds good. I may take you up on that if I can.

I paid $1300 mid-2012 for a Chinese clone of the Consult III+ tool with the Nissan software from an AliBaba.com seller. It's the exact same thing as the "genuine" product and works a treat. I can't remember the seller's name but if anyone wants the detail, I guess I can always search through my email archive and get back to you. :)

Took a look through my archive and found it. She was a very efficient individual and while I was working in the UK at the time, my buddy received the shipment within a week in Sydney. Price doesn't seem to have changed much either. Nevertheless, this looks and feels exactly like the genuine Nissan product. Keep in mind that while it does support the reprogramming of security keys/immobilisers as well as diagnostics on the R35/GTR you need to buy the interface cards/modules for those purposes at an additional cost.

For the purpose of diagnosing and resetting error codes, the scan tool alone is more than sufficient, again as long as it's not a GTR. It came in handy one time when, for whatever reason, my steering angle sensor lost its calibration and thought my wheels were at an angle when they were indeed straight. A 10-second recalibration with the scan tool fixed that. Then there was also the time when I flashed my ECU with the UpRev Osiris, only to have the warning light come on for the bonnet pop-up struts malfunctioning. Again, a reset of the fault code cleared that little annoyance as well. Definitely worth the money if you're going to be the one servicing your vehicle, as I do.

I paid with credit card and never experienced any dodgy transactions thereafter, so from my point of view, they are safe to trade with.

I forgot to mention one more caveat: The Nissan software only works on Windows XP SP2 or SP3. Do not buy this if you cannot score a laptop running XP SP3. I already tested the waters with it on a Windows 7 machine and it definitely doesn't work.

The Consult 3 will set you back sub $300 if you look around, and will communicate with all the ecu's in the car. It is worth 100 times more than a generic OBD2 scanner, I know this well, I have both the Consult3 and a Launch Diagun and the Consult has 100 times more options, it's the same software Nissan use to diagnose faults.

i cant find consult 3 for sub $300 cheapest ive seen is $465.Im not really chasing consult 3 was just wondering if the above ebay screen will work on a v35.

Which V35? I would guess it wouldn't, but the 3.5L is OBD2 compliant, so it might read it's codes somewhat. I have wasted enough money buying these crappy products that don't work on my car.

You are searching in the wrong places. Don't buy from re-sellers...

      Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!

      Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.

      Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
