I`m surprised no-one has answered your question mate?

 

I havent used that one in your link, but the Conzult that is used through a lap top is probably the best diagnostics software, I have nissan datascan and serves me pretty well.

Cheers m8, I liked the look of this as it is stand alone with no need to run the risk of breaking my laptop out in the garage etc.

 

Will this work on a 300zx

Should as it has the 14pin plug but I would email them 1st

What about those "consult" devices on Ebay with "shareware" software from HK and China for about £25.

Appear to do all the things needed. Anyone tried them?

You can buy the full kit from DTA for £245 I think

Conzult won't work on your car Martin if you're using stand alone management.

ok ta

Strange they state that. Yet there's a CD in the photo, wonder what it's for. :confused:

thats what i was thinking, so far that reson i reckon id keep my cash and put it toward a good tried and tested one.

The cd contains shareware software which isnt worth a W**k, It provides very basic conzult functions that can be downloaded for free anyway, we are better buying the proper cable and software from Blatz, Datascan is quite cheap and will be suitable for most needs.:wink:

lots of people have tried them, those lucky to get one working (majority do, just they dont test at manufacturer, so some are dead on arrival) quickly find out that no laptop built in last few years has a serial port, and might waste a few dollars on a cheap usb/serial converter only to find that it bluescreens their laptop randomly. so someone in the know tells them to get a FTDI based usb/serial converter (which cost a fair bit more), and once theyve done that and got it all working, realise for a few extra £ they could have got an ecutalk/blazt/plms usb consult cable and saved themselves a lot of time.

ecutalk + obd scantech (both free) have 95% of what datascan has (in the case of ecutalk, it has the fuel economy/trip meter sensors that datascan doesnt, and logs at ~3 times the rate that datascan can).

 

best to buy the ecutalk/blazt/plms cable, and then if you find ecutalk/obd scantech inadequate, spend more money then. no use wasting it straight off the bat if you dont need to. i bought a copy of datascan, but hardly use it myself (though thats probably cause ive got an ecutalk LCD display...).
