Well, time to ask Nissan people if they know their CAN messages

Well, time to revive my old thread
https://my350z.com/forum/tuning/590412-nissan-canbus-messages.html
Looks like the challenge here would be not hardware but making automatic transmission CAN-happy?
https://github.com/jackm/carhack/blob/master/nissan.md has too little and my 2014 messages do not match any of the three sources of Nissan CAN data. Also TIL "DBC file" maybe one day rusEFI would read DBC files from SD card
https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/issues/2278 to add packet filtering into rusEFI CAN sniffer

Putting my hand up to test these, when available. (I messaged the page on FB and was pointed here)

Why not dual wideband? These engines have two upstream O2 sensors.

Which means we need some way to set index when we have multiple controllers permanently connected. The current index set mechanism requires disconnection of all the controllers whose index you don't want to set.

We have blue blinking from external +12 volts
I forgot about the v8 engine in the Pathfinder, I bet it uses same pinout.

I might know a guy.
How do you plan on dealing with NATS (Nissan Anti Theft system).
the ECM and BCM are paired.

Please keep talking
Are you saying BCM would not authorize cranking until ECU authenticates? Well, worst case scenario I might end up keeping OEM ECU on the CAN bus for the cranking phase.
For my purposes I am happy to wire up the starter relay in any funny non OEM way.

"The starter motor plunger closes..." I doubt it can according to the schematic!

Pavel
@Mad Rat got me in touch with a 2003 and 2004 Nissan Almera owner - 1.5 and 1.8 engines
We've compared VIGN, injector and crank/cam pins, match! Time to drive a vehicle on Hellen Nissan!
Got pedal sensor calibrated, things are amazing!
Second step ETB motor - there is some buzzing but no movement. I forgot to solder pin #3 and forgot to implement ETB relay control - FSIO to rescue, we got ETB movement!!!
But got a very weird
https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/issues/3137 error and started tracing things with digital multimeter.
That's where things went down. TPS input pins were shifted by one position on Almera. While touching things Pavel has burned his finger on coil control module on Hellen. That's where we found a relay on where we were expecting coil #1.
Good think we have a lot of 0R on the board
With four 0R removed we got TPS to show something reasonable, and coil module is no longer hot to touch! We even clicked 3 injectors (due to chip shortage boards farbictated with 6 not 8 mosfets - would need to move on), and 2 coils (todo).
No RPM. Signal pins match expectation but Altima has crank/cam GND going into ECU while Xterra has crank/cam GND in vehicle harness.
Wait, one of the crank/cam Almera GND pins has a legit usage on Xterra!
More 0R removal more jumpers, we got RPM.
So we are at six mismatched pins, will continue after some fixes to the board and settings.

From

red line on the graph is with the pnp ecu with no maf (274whp) and the other graph is stock ecu (257whp)
Magic tune
