M35 Diagnostics And Ecu Reading.

[scotty nm35]

These apparently work, and there is an ecu programming card to use with it separately. Not cheap for a trial though although the seller said it will work with no problems.

Its a rip off of the Nissan Consult program from what I can work out...

[PN-Mad]

Can you modify the ecu programming card?

I assume thats how the factory does the re-flash to update ROM's yeah?

[iamhe77]

If it is a Consult rip off and only does what a Consult can do, it can't flash the ECU.

If they haev created an add-on as such, then so be it. Perhaps it might be worth a few VQ25det owners all putting in to get one to trial?

[scotty nm35]

I would have grabbed one but it's over a grand for the unit with the programming Pc card. I would definitely buy the unit though. If anyone is interested in chucking in for the programming card let me know, I don't really need it otherwise.

[bigkevracer]

It does specifically say Nissan, Infiniti and Renault, which makes me think it could work?

Can you get some kind of guarantee on it?

[PN-Mad]

Will it do anything that Uprev Cipher won't do for $400 cheaper?

Does it log?

[scotty nm35]

It is esentially a consult unit, reverse engineered. I have been in communication with a few of the suppliers who all said it will work. The programmer is the part I'm not confident with.

.....uprev ftw!

[bigkevracer]

How much is uprev?

[iamhe77]

Uprev will log and do the CEL's but not tune for you Ryan... like you really need it

[PN-Mad]

$200 us for the version that'll do nm35s. Plus shipping. Provided you have a Lappy to put the software on.

The diagnostic facility is totally different to the tuning. The couple of screen shots I've used in other threads is from the tuning software which doesn't work with nm35 cars. Have I made it clear enough?

Still haven't had anyone come for diagnostics!maybe I should put a price on, then people might like it more. Otherwise just keep paying $ at Nissan!

Yeah but I figured if it was cheap enough it'd be handy to be able to log and clear CELs just like that!

I still need to clear that stupid airbag light. Maybe this weekend. I'd come to you Alex, but, well, you're a long way away!

Might be worth sticking your head in this thread Ryan, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/393441-diagnostics-for-sau-sa-members/

Hi All,

When I tuned my car, the software (UPREV Cipher) came with a diagnostics program to run on Nissan CAN BUS cars. So- its good new for you people!

I tried the software out on Jetwrecks car today successfully.

This is a list of what I can CAN DO with this software:

Adjust your ignition timing up to +2 degrees or - 5 degrees (please note- I'm not in any way responsible for what happens to your car if you want me to do this)

Hey Alex, is this what you saw on Craigs car or yours? I plugged into mine today & it gave me options of +8 degrees to -8 degrees.

[PN-Mad]

You can keep increasing it Leon, but there are two figures there target and actual. target can be +8, but it just wont run it, actual is still +2. Depends on ecu too, some have different parameters to others.

But check that out. doubt you get any more than +2

OK, that's probably right & makes sense. I just dropped the box down & saw the available options but didn't change anything. Mine was set for -1.

Thanks.

[PN-Mad]

-1, just like everyone else's.

Car clear of error codes?

[iamhe77]

Might be -1 due to the fuel being used (98 instead of 100)?

Never any codes, other than the SRS that's been my nemesis since day one.

I mainly use Caltex (only because have a business funded card) so I can't even guarantee it's 98, lol. I occasionally try other brands 98 fuel (BP), but can't really tell the difference driving around. Probably never in the tank long enough to learn it.
