Cut from my post on patrol4x4
Hey guys i thought i would let everyone know about a gadget i just bought!
Its called ECUTALK and i originally bought it for my R33 skyline but it happens to plug straight into my tb42e gq
http://www.ecutalk.com/consultlcd.aspx
It plugs into the consult port (under dash on drivers side) and reads a lot of the data the ECU is reading.
While i'm driving i can see
speed, rpm, battery voltage, injector duty cycle, ignition timing, AAC, O2 voltage, water temp, AFM voltage, TPS position.
Once i inserted my injector size the unit then becomes a trip computer that shows my instant fuel consumption (l/100km), total fuel used and average used. This even works while i'm on lpg as the ecu still sends the injectors a signal (Not 100% accurate but gives a very good indication).
The unit also lets you play with ignition and fuel but just as a percentage over the whole table. IE i have my timing set pretty high for lpg and it tends to "Ping" on fuel (even premium) so if i ever drive on petrol i can now knock the timing back up to 10 degrees without adjusting the distributer. I also added a little more fuel which helps eliminate pinging.
Anyway i thought i would let ppl know about this product. I bought it of skylines australia forum for $150 delivered. It also comes with a USB cable which lets you plug it into your laptop and run other programs such as Conzult and OBD Scantech.
Cheers
James
PS: I find the digital temp display to be the most helpful. Cruising at 60km/hr my guage sits on 1/3 which is 84 degrees. On the freeway it moved all the way to 1/2 which is actually only 88 degrees!! I have been worrying about my temp for nothing!!

That looks good. My TB45 GU has the 14 pin consult connector, and i was wondering if it would work.
I was only aware of this one which requires a laptop and the DataScan software to display.

I havent played around with the timing on gas much as it doesnt seem to make much difference like on petrol. I'm just happy i have finally got it to run on petrol.
The port looks like this

Its just a plug under the drivers side of the dash. If its a fuel injected patrol it will be there.
