R34 and OBD2

Oi oi

Just a quick question... and I'm really after just a straight yes or no answer on this...

I'm looking at buying a gift for somebody I know who owns an R34 GTT - one of those OBD 2 Head Up Displays, much like this: https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/obdii-car-head-display/ (revs, speed, temp, alerts, etc).
I know the R34s predate 2007, and therefore don't conform to the OBDII standard (even though the 'standard' is actually three different protocols). But I know the R34s have the Consult port.

My question is... if I buy one of those adaptors on eBay to connect the OBD device to the Consult port, will the HUD work as intended?

Peace.

The only person who could give you a straight yes or no is someone who has tried it and I can't imagine why anyone would since as you have already pointed out Nissan Consult is not compatible with any OBD standards.

First of all, I asked if anybody had tried connecting an OBD device to a Consult port using an adaptor cable. From your response, I take it you haven't.
So how are you helping me by essentially telling me that you don't know?

Secondly, I didn't say they were *incompatible*, I said that they didn't conform to the standard. There are plenty of instances of pre-OBD cars connecting to OBD devices, assuming the right connector is in the middle. And I'd lay money on the fact that if you plugged it in, SOME data would make it through. I'm just wondering whether it's the data I'd want.

Thirdly, "I can't imagine why anybody would"? Are you serious? People get curious. And I KNOW I'm not the first person on the internet to ask the question that I did, because many googlings proved that to me. So I'm NOT the only person out there wondering about this - but NOBODY is answering.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years.

      Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.

      RB25DET in GTS4 R32 conversion

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
