Consult is made here in the US by a company named Vetronix Corp.

They also have Kent-Moore part numbers for all of their conectors/cables/daughterboards.

Hey guys.....please help!!!! When I click on any one of the three links for the parts list etc. my browser just opens a blank internet page. If I right click and try "save target as" it tries to save the file as a GIF image titled "clear" (it does this on all three attachments). Am I an idiot? (not sure if I really want the answer to that...) Please help.

I would love to biuld this, but what info does it give you? Would it be the same info as the Techcom?

RobertspecV · 10-10-2005, 10:47 AM

Yes, it does the same thing as the PLMS/Techcom/Zcontrol boards.

Thanks to Calum making the board layout available I've got new PCBs for sale. PM me if you want one or see the other thread.

Jaketips42 · 10-10-2005, 07:26 PM

So you just need this and a laptop? What kind of software does it use? Sounds pretty cool.

RobertspecV · 10-10-2005, 08:40 PM

There's lots of software out there. Check out the list under "Diagnostic / Datalogging" at :

OBDII Consult I, it should work.

But not on the newer Nissans that require Consult II. Im pretty sure the plug wont fit on Consult II ports anyway.

jp314 · 11-09-2005, 12:27 PM

Thanks for the great instructions Calum!
I drilled holes for the LEDs on mine, pics below.

RobertspecV · 11-09-2005, 07:08 PM

Cool - Did you cut out the end plates?

I finally ordered two cases so we'll see how that goes.

I've got no more board left (yay!) what a PITA. Fun, but not so lucrative

Yes, the end plates are cut.
With a machine shop at my disposal, it makes it a bit easier.

All the cutting & drilling done on an NC mill...

Haven't tested any yet, have to install the software. Maybe tonight.

RobertspecV · 11-09-2005, 08:53 PM

Well crap - PM me if you want to do a couple more!

El Gabito · 11-10-2005, 12:14 AM

Yahnozha · 11-17-2005, 06:15 PM

coach · 11-18-2005, 06:46 AM

Wow, Me to, me to!!! I was going to have the stuff shipped over to Kuwait to make a box, but it would literally take like 4 weeks to get me everything from all the places, so this would be nice. Let me know if you can do it.

MarcTheNarc · 11-18-2005, 04:42 PM

Sign me up for one of those boxes as well.
