Consult reader?

[krystalized_jdm]

I took a stab at this when I recently got my new tablet. I borrowed a bluetooth obd 2 reader to see if I could get any readings off of my car. Turns out skylines aren't even obd!

So I came across

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Nissan-Consult-Diagnostic-Interface-Tool-Nissan-14-Pin-Scanner-/110843682519?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item19cecc5ed7#ht_1248wt_1163

Has anyone used something like this before? I have no use for my netbook or my laptop so I wouldn't mind keeping this in my car for the fun of it.

I just used mine to diagnose a TPS sensor on buddies GTR.
The best maintenance tool to buy for our cars.

I use the PLMS consult cable. USB style.
Doesnt only work on Skylines, most other Nissans in that era.

I use PLMS cable, Nistune tuning software (can see what ECU is doing with maps, tables, etc).

PLMS cable is better because it stops connection dropping out (important when tuning ECU). Also has the connected, transfer light's, etc on little black box. From what I understand, most other consult cable design's are based off the orginal design done by PLMS. But PLMS have improved the design.

Does the PLMS only work with nistune? I've never heard of that before.

Also, does anyone know of any north american retailers for the USB consult? I can only find 3rd world country shippers (I'd like it sooner than 3 weeks)

Read PLMS website, as it explains the connection drop out problem better than I could and what software the PLMS consult cable is compatible with -

They don't actually have a photo of the cable you get. It's the same as what they show with the "New PLMS Consult Cable" photo, but has a black box in middle of cable with connected, transfer LED light's, etc on it.
