Ecu Question

[GTAHH]

G'day, tried running a search and got confused.

Quick question, I connected my brothers laptop to my R32 '89 gtst skyline running a diagnostics program (pretty sure its consult). When it is connected, the laptop cannot connect with the ecu, my brother tells me that '89 skylines are not capable of using the consult as they do not have the on board diagnostics or something similar.

Correct?

The laptop has only been used on SR20's and SR20DET's, does there need to be anything different for the RB engine systems? Or is it the fact that my car is incompatible?

Cheers

If you have the plug under the dash then you can use it.

You are right though, the early 32's, some were unable to be read due to the fact they did not have the plug.

Cheers,

The plug is there above the fuse box, when the laptop is connected it cannot connect with the ecu.

Any takers?

Well, my '89 Skyline was able to talk to the Nissan Consult.

Silly question - You do have the factory ECU (not a PFC or similar)?

I guess ill have a look, I just bought it off a guy who imported it and haven't really looked through the whole car yet.

Maybe it needs to be set up differently to work on the RB?

I have an '89 (October build i think) R32 and Consult works fine. Have a poke around under the dash some of the wires might have been "molested".

1) check ecu is standard

2) check visibly that wires arent fugged

3) whip out a multimeter and check the rb20 pinout, u want to ensure that all the 5 (6 inc CHK) connect to their correct places on ecu
