If you are running a CRD motor then the ScanGauge 2 is an option.

I just bought one from here
http://ample-outdoors.com.au/store/

They are around $170.


I am a long way from understanding the majority of its features but am enjoying learning!

Gooday RooGU.
As DSzuke has said,this only works on the CRD motor. For DI motors try this instead; http://www.ecutalk.com/

If you have a CRD check out Ultragauge it's made by the parent company of the scangauge. Cheaper and more user friendly than the scan gauges.

Contact Peter at peter@ecutalk.com.au I'm sure he'll sort you out .Di only
Price wise about $250 new I think, I brought mine from a forum member for $145
Best thing ever, still freaks me out when the buzzer goes off at 115kph, but I'll leave it at that
Just plug it in it will show most motor functions first up

I have purchased a USB device from ECU talk, this shows the ECU data and allows the deletion of fault codes. Cost me about $100, or so. It has a bit of software and the USB connector. It also has the OB2 test connector for the plug under the dash.
I bought the kit for the 2000 patrol ZD30 system. Apparently mine is pre OBD2. I haven told it is OBD1, but different people offer different advice.
Nevertheless it works well, showing all the sensors and readings on a screen of gauges. Pretty darn good really.
My tech savvy son loaded it on my lap top, for me. It was a bit tricky to load up myself, anyway.
Have a look at www.ecutalk.com/interface.aspx. I also emailed nissandatascan@yahoo.com. For advice on my particular needs.

Hope it is of some use to you
Philb
