Transmission Adjustment for Everyone via Carman SCAN Tool

sunline-carman-001

Nextech’s Carman SCAN OBD-II scan tool has supported the Nissan GT-R for about a year now and has been used by many that don’t have access to or can’t afford the official Nissan Consult III hardware. It can read and diagnose GT-R error codes and clear them as well.

Recently Nextech have released an update that should allow Carman Scan tool owners to adjust GT-R TCM settings themselves, saving a trip to the dealership. The GT-R’s 6 speed dual clutch transmission, the GR6, has 4 settings for the automated clutches. These settings are regularly adjusted during service time to keep it performing at it’s peak. Adjusted incorrectly however and driveability and clutch heat problems issues can crop up.

On top of this the new update allows the modification of the ABS settings to tune braking performance and ABS sensitivity.

The Carman SCAN tool is still not cheap at around $4,000 for the unit but it’s an option for some and both Sunline Racing and MCR in Japan have added it to their tool kits.
