Just dropped my TT SWB into Nissan to figure out why she isnt dropping from second gear.

 

I told them it should be compatible with consult but they said because she's an import they are not compatible. He couldnt find where to connect his consult connector to.

 

Surely this cant be correct???

Bwahahahahahaha good old nissan do it again :D I think conZult sales wouldn't have been too good if this was the case ;) They are talking from their rectal cavity m8!!

Where doe consult connect to on the SWB??

Agreed.

 

They are talking out of their %^$£.

 

I had consult tests done by 2 different Nissan dealers when I had my imported TT Z.

 

It plugs into the diagnostic port. I can't remember exactly but its somewhere under the drivers console near where the fuses are.

 

Andy

its a bit of a crap picture but look here in the manual

the diag port is behind the bonnet release lever.

After finally finding the diag port thanks to you guys they plugged it in and found a crank angle sensor fault on consult which they reset. (They expect 3 hrs labour for this)

 

I asked them does consult have an autobox section similar to conzult to which they replied No.

 

Is this correct or are they talking shite again.

 

They want €400 to take out the solenoids to clean and replace. (Gearbox wont drop out of second to third)

 

Is this the correct procedure or should the solenoids be replaced. After doing this work they wont guarantee the problem will be resolved aghhhh .

 

Are all Nissan main dealers this bad on auto cars. They really seem clueless.

Maybe the dealer you went to only has the new type consult..

 

This because there are 2 types of (Nissan) Consults around...

The old type, which the ConZult software was based upon and a new type Consult, which is able to do OBD2. (cars from 1996 and newer)

The new type won't connect to a Zed, without a special adapter

 

The old type Consult, when connected to a 300ZX (twinturbo), has at least 3 sections (Engine, HICAS and Aircon) and for the automatic Zeds there is a fourth section to monitor the ECU of the automatic gearbox.

 

The new type Consult, when connected to a Zed, only has the Engine monitor section and if the car has an airbag, it'll also show a second section to check the ECU for the Airbag (this option is not available on the old type consult and not yet on the conzult software).

 

Most dealers have the new type consult, because 90% of the cars they maintain are from 1996 or later and are only OBD2 compatible..

This is probably when they get confused if you ask them to connect the consult to your Zed, also since the connector doesn't fit (most dealers don't have the adapter).

And when they DO have the adapter, they'll only be able to read/monitor the engine ECU.

 

Hope this clears up a few things ;)
