Have been looking for a consult 3 diagnosis at the Nissan dealer around my place and they don't have one, but still offered to come and try their tool...

Instead of wasting time with them, I'd rather drive to meet someone from here that has one.

We could probably have a list of everyone owning one here to save time for anyone else looking and make a few $ for the owners.

I'm personally looking around Sydney but if you have one, tell your State and diag tool so I can make a list.

Nissan service department didn't have a Consult 3? I don't believe that for a second. Some other readers will work for engine diagnosis, not many will talk to all 8 ecu's.

I have one in Hampton Park, SE Melbourne, Victoria. :)

Consult is an old plug interface, for older model cars. The M35 uses an obd2 plug but is not obd2 compliant, so you need the Consult 3 hardware Nissan use to read it properly.

It's a garage that sells a bunch of car makes including Nissan and the guy I had on the phone told me they use a different brand of diagnostic tool and isn't sure they will be able to talk to the car (after I said it was a stagea..)

At $156/hour, I'm not too keen to go find out :D

ps: not sure why but can't edit my posts to update it :/

well I've got a consult 3 in Sydney, happy to plug it in for only $155.99/hr.

Or for nothing.

BTW most generic scan tools at your average workshop should still work I think, the local place was certainly able to read my non-OBD2 Cima the other day

That would be super cool, even for $155.99, rather give that to someone that has the right tools :)

Seriously though, had a transmission light turning on and since it's the TCU I want to read, would probably have more luck with a consult 3.

Happy to help with your $$ investment in the tool of course. PM sent

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
