    anyone know if the 04 g35 coupe can utilize the tactrix cable
    or what loggers can be used if any?

    would utilize different jumpers?
    it's an ODBII port...

    would I be very dangerous to guess that the same cable would read another cars ODBII ?

    i would assume the ECU uses a different map base system that probably is very dissimilar to Mitsu and Subaru... ODBII ports are the same, but the programs they can run with could be very dissimilar without a doubt.

    It might work, but you'd need an application that would read it. There are a few different protocols that can go through an OBDII port, and it depends on what Nissan uses. I keep meaning to see if i can talk to our Altima through mine, but it's hardly a priority.

    I think with the right software (search Generic OBDII scan) you should be able to at least read and probably reset codes. But any real data logging or changing the ROM would require more. Certainly some of the Nissan ECUs have been cracked, but I dunno about the G35 one.

    Looks like Technosquare and Cobb have reflashes for it, but no sign in a quick google search that anyone has done it open source. So you'd need to buy one of those products, which would render the tactrix cable superfluous.

    Yeah. Being a pretty tuned N/A engine to start out with that already requires premium gas, there probably won't be any easy, big gains by a reflash anyhow. The gains will be reflashing to support mods.
