ECUTalk USB Nissan Consult Cable Interface - Australian Made

This cable connects most Nissan cars with the 14 pin grey consult port to a laptop via the USB port (without the need for USB/Serial adaptors) for diagnostic and data logging purposes, to check sensors are operating correctly, to check/clear error codes, etc (more details below). This cable comes with a CD containing the USB drivers/install guides and consult software listed below (which includes the ECUTalk software). Now you can help diagnose problems with your car without a trip to a Nissan workshop.

This cable has a miniature (SMD) circuit (see pictures below) inside the USB plastic connector to interface with the Nissan Consult diagnostic port, and it uses the genuine Nissan Consult connector which fits perfectly and on most cars allows the fuse box cover to be closed with the cable connected which makes driving with it connected easier. These cables were designed by us in Australia (so there is no middle man). They use an FTDI chip for USB functionality.

ECUTalk USB Consult Cable

Once connected (and USB drivers from the CD are installed), and the car is on or running and your chosen software loaded, you can then (depending on which software you are using):

View sensor data (e.g. gauges, also ECUTalk software also has economy/fuel consumption/distance, etc 'sensors')

Sensors include (there are others depending on car model): RPM, Speed, O2, Throttle, Battery, Timing, Air Flow, Duty Cycle, Water Temperature, AAC, etc

Log sensor data (for later graphing in Excel, etc)

View error codes, and the number of times the car has started since the error code was logged

Clear error codes

Aid in adjusting idle by locking timing to allow comparison with a timing light

Allow other 'active tests' to be performed, such as shutting off cylinders (if one cylinder is misfiring, you can discover which by turning them off one at a time)

These tasks can be performed with software that will be provided on a CD with the cable:

OBD Scantech 1.29 Nissan (gauges pictured below right)

Conzult (freeware version, picture furthest below)

Calumsult

Suitable for most Nissan car models from 1989-2000 that have the 14 pin grey consult port, which is typically found near or attached to the in-cabin fuse box. It will not work for newer vehicles with the OBDII plug (e.g. 350Z). It wont work if you have replaced your ECU with any aftermarket one like PowerFC, Autronic, EMS, etc (but remaps or daughterboards like Nistune with the original ECU are OK). The popular Nissans in Australia that are supported includes (but is not limited to - just check for the consult port if your car isnt listed):

R32 Skyline (9/89+ only, first few months from launch in 6/89 did not support consult)

R33 Skyline

R34 Skyline

S13 Silvia / 180SX / 200SX (SR20 engines only, not CA18)

S14 Silvia / 180SX / 200SX

S15 Silvia / 180SX / 200SX (check for consult connector)

Z32 300ZX (except for 96 model which might not work with all software)

N14 Pulsar (including GTiR)

N15 Pulsar

B13 NX Coupe

K11 Micra (check for plug, some late model may have an OBDII plug instead)

U12 Pintara (KA24 only)

U13 Bluebird

A32 Maxima

GQ Patrol (TB42E only)

GU Patrol (TB45E, RD28ETi, TD42Ti - check plug, some TB45E have an OBDII plug instead, as do all ZD30)

R50 Pathfinder (VG33E, 95-05, check your port as some later models have an OBDII plug instead)

Been used once but then upgraded ECU to a power fc and have no use for it anymore. .

cheers guys!

$80 including postage to 2777?

I'll have a Nistune on my Bnr32 - so I presume that interface will reflect accurate readings?

If so to these two questions I'll take it.Ta

    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
