Car model and year: 2003 Nissan 350z

Car model and year: GT - 2006 Nissan 350Z RevUp DE

Note : GT model of 350z has a traction control whereas the base models don't (apparently). So, if you have a GT, you'll get a clock spring with a smaller hole which plugs into the SAS.

Question: I am having trouble deciding on which OBD2 scanner to buy for my Nissan Pathfinder R50 2001 LE trim model (sold in the USA). I am a DIYer and want a very good scanner which is not too expensive (over $110) which can scan, read and erase all check engine codes as well as offer possible fixes for it. Also it should scan ABS codes and if possible transmission codes.

Have Porsche 997 09 C2S, I want to read overrevs and do some minor reprogramming, I ran into Foxwell's website http://www.foxwelltool.com/      They have NT520 Pro ($159) vs. NT530 ($169). Not much in the price difference so that's irrelevant but are there any reasons to get one over the other? Logic says to get the latest and greatest but other than what Foxwell website lists, are there any limitations of these 2 units that I should worry about? Will either allow me to read overrevs report?

Foxwell NT680 Pro performs quick scan a 2014 Ford B-Max successfully, including read VIN automatically, quick scan all systems, select one specific control module(i.e PCM, IPC etc) to diagnose, read fault codes, erase fault codes, read live data etc.

Thanks to one user's feedback:

Purchased a Foxwell NT530 for my BMW E60, I had multiple issues with the transmission and other faults, I needed something that extracted codes a bit deeper than my Matco scanner did, in fact, my scanner only gave me an OBDII code of P0700, that told me what church to be in but not which pew.....Once I scanned the car with this new scanner NT530, I found 7 pages (print out) of issues and diagnostic information that help me narrow the issues down. Very impressed with the capabilities of this scanner.

I recently purchased an Foxwell NT680pro scanner with all adapters. Everything arrived but the adapters have female DB15 connector and the 680 came with a DB15 to OBD2 cable, no DB15 cable for the adapters so the adapters are useless. Also, the OBD2 cable that came with the 680 does not fit all OBD2 ports properly. I have confirmed my other OBD2 cables for other tools work fine but the Foxwell cable must not be molded just right, it will NOT fit on my 2014 Honda, but works fine on other vehicles.

Please look at the images below. In the picture below the cable is called "Diagnosis Cable" and that cable is missing.
