Hey Brendon, me again [emoji2] how much to ship to the UK please? Keen for this. If you’re going to make anything else I may want to buy, might have to wait and post it all in one go! [emoji23]

Ignore me it’s working now... [emoji23] I reckon it’s the VGate playing up. I now have data!

Thread resurrection... A little help please those who have got HobDrive and VGate to work together. I have a VGate wifi wotsit. I have the full version of HobDrive on my iPhone. Vgate plugged in, power light is on, OBD light is off, and Link light blinks. HobDrive is set up using the NM35 vehicle profile that is saved on there. HobDrive can see the VGate but not the car. What am I doing wrong? Any ideas? Messed about with the settings plenty but honestly don't really know what I'm doing so not sure that's helped! All ideas appreciated TIA. John

PM'd!

Getting a speed related grinding from the front that I am pretty sure is the CV joint as it gets worse on full lock. Suspect it's too late to simply regrease so seeing what's out there. Problem is I'm in the UK - anyone breaking a car and willing to post?

Also RHD Japan and JDM Distro might be able to help. Not cheap mind... but nothing is for us Brits at the moment! I'm planning to buy a down pipe from Aus and get a 3" made locally.

Removed the Gizzmo EBC and reverted to stock until the MBC arrives. Wanted to simplify things somewhat.

Stuck the Stack boost gauge on and it's pulling half a bar of vacuum at idle so definitely the sensor or gauge. Hopefully someone local can lend me a sensor to confirm it's that before I shell out.

NM35 Factory Boost Gauge - dodgy readings Hi all, When I bought my 250t RS Four the boost gauge was showing some dodgy readings then packed in. After thinking it might be the well known dry joint issue, I dived in to the engine bay and discovered the vacuum hose had split and fallen off the plenum. Easy fix with some new hose and a zip tie, and all was well again. Fast forward a couple of weeks and I developed a new problem, whereby the boost gauge would show 0 at idle, i.e. pulling no vacuum, building up to 1 under partial throttle. Then obviously it tops out so useless on boost. This evening I tried the 'Scotty Fix' and wielded my soldering iron over the boost gauge sensor. I removed the old solder and renewed the joints on all three known failure points. I redid two I wasn't happy with, and confident that my soldering was now good I popped it back on the car and... it's still showing 0 at idle. So either my engine pulls no vacuum, which I will test with my new mechanical gauge tomorrow (unlikely), or something is amiss electronically (likely). Has anyone come across a similar issue before? Could it be an issue with the gauge unit? Or should I try to find a replacement sensor? Are there any cheaper alternatives? These units are crazy expensive and difficult to get hold of. Thanks in advance, John

Lent the car to a friend. He lost the petrol cap. Fortunately it turns out they're all the same. Won't be JDM though [emoji24] Looking forward to binning my Gizzmo EBC next month...

Mine has a roof aerial too. Wish importers would be more sympathetic with their mods...

Thanks Josh, I'll see if HDi can sell me just the pipework - that would be a lot easier and safer to post.

Has anyone used a universal intercooler on their M35? Bit steep on the shipping front to get an HDi to Blighty, so thinking of DIYing. Just wondering if there are any snags (like outlet/inlet positioning) I should be aware of, or will the hardest bit be getting hard pipes made up?

Any news Daleo?

I've been having an intermittent problem with the gauge so went to tackle this job today armed with my soldering iron. Unit looked good so followed the vac hose back to the plenum... found my problem: No soldering required today!

I'll take one to the UK if possible? if it helps could combine postage with Mr Gazman?

Thank you sir! Shall place an order on Monday

Funnily I brought it home after buying it the other day and my mum and wife both looked at it and said it looked like a hearse. Somewhat ruined the moment for me.

Hi Gazman, I wondered how you got on with the SGS replacements, and whether you still have the invoice as I need to place an identical order! Thanks in advance!

Another Newbie from the UK Hi all, I just bought myself an M35 Stagea yesterday and as you guys seem to have all the answers thought I would sign up! Here's a picture, please excuse the poor quality! It has a few goodies but mostly standard. So far, so good!
