ECU Talk

[Leighw85]

Hit there
was just reading through alot of old threads and read a little about an ECUtalk computer to help diagnose issues and gives readings on coolant temps, engine speeds, horsepower and so on.

here is one i came across
http://www.scangauge.com/

Has anyone got one of these set up? and how they find it, is it helpful?
also would one connect up to my 01 GU 3.0ltr td???

cheers all

I have the ECU Talk USB to PC hook up so it gives me the real time readings. When I got the USB from ecutalk.com.au they also sent a cd with a stack of different ECU programs on it for free. The interface with the USB to PC works better or me (a GQ driver) as I can see more then just one thing at a time.

Look at http://www.nissandatascan.com/ as an example

So does your have to have a pc connected to it to get readings?
I thought you just got those little screens that sat on the dash? And from there you flick through the different readings

I went with the other option. From ECU talk I purchased the USB (from computer) to Pin connection (to Car). I have a little Netbook 10 inch screen thingy so thought its small enough to have in the car all the time and gives me more readings then just one at a time like the other. So if you have a Laptop (any size) and $90 your in Business.

Leigh,
The Scangauge won't work with your ZD30 Patrol, but an ECUTalk module will work. I just use the ECUTalk and NISTune software on my car pc. Wouldn't be without it.
I also use ScanTech Nissan for transmission data.

Hi Ryan,
I’ve been into car pc’s for about 10 years and this is the 3rd that I built up for the Patrol. I get most of the gear from Mobile Computing Solutions in the USA. They sell all the parts to build your own or complete units to install.
HERE is a link to my setup.
