I hate to revive a old thread

but what scanner is half way good at the moment for obd2, I've been looking around for a while now and i cant get find anything that doesn't look like a shitty knock off of the real thing.

I have been using the Blatz cable and nissandatascan for a while now. Works for the ECU, ABS and SRS, don't know about the TCU as I have a 6sp. Can also do immobiliser key programming if you have the PIN for your ECU.

I'm not sure what the issue is with a "knock off of the real thing". The official Nissan Consult 3 will set you back thousands..

The Chinese Nissan Consult 3 can be imported for $150 USD. When purchasing from China be careful that you're not purchasing from a reseller (of a reseller, of a reseller, of another reseller...).

The quality of the model that I purchased is great. Quality control in China varies a lot, but if you've got a warranty purchasing major sites (like Alibaba, etc.)

If you don't need to diagnose & just want to display readings, then the HKS OBD Link is a great tool.

I use both.

They would be at that price. Like Thom, I bought mine through AliBaba.com which was a $1600 knock-off of the Nissan Consult 3+ with a copy of the genuine Nissan software back in 2012. Works exactly the same as the Nissan deal itself as long as you have Windows XP on your laptop - which is what the Consult software was designed to work with.

    • Don't turn down the limit yet. Put a mechanical pressure gauge on the car in the same spot and go and prove it.
    • I've done a few BMS systems. Code in Canada use to force us to have any safety components outside of the PLC but with a code change back in 2018 I believe it was, we can now use safety PLC's to control everything. Sadly to your point, AB Guardlogix safety instructions for example are only available in ladder.  Machine safety is a very big thing here though, you're constantly forced to migrate to the next best thing by OSHA. I honestly prefer safety plc's, including anything from AB more then I do working with old school safety monitoring relays. PLC is only one portion of it, the rest of the electrical still has to follow to meet SIL (Mechanically linked dual contacts, bla bla)  Now tell me how to feel about safety over comm's (e.g Ethernet/IP CIP) on a unmaintained network haha
    • To your point, boolean logic. We're not only working with bools in ecu's, so it's very limiting. I wanted to setup a low WMI pressure alarm. After 1 second I want WMI line to hit 100PSI, 2 seconds 175PSI, etc. and trigger an alarm if it doesn't meet those thresholds. This would of taken me one very short line of text, but instead I had to bugger around with generic timers, conditions, etc. and so forth.
    • I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs. 
    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.
