I got my OBDlink connected over wifi to HobDrive, there was an nm35 profile under Nissan when I went looking. I'm guessing thats your config Matt.

The first page of sensors seems okay but the rest seemed a bit useless. Not the most intuitive app but it seems to have a fair bit of functionality.

If you goto sensor list under screens you can see all sensors data if you click on them. I'm trying to get them transferred to the main screen.

I was able to read and clear a fault code today.

On another note I worked out how to bypass my rpm limit, revved to 8400rpm and fried my alternator bearing(glowing orange) interesting part is the engine still increases in power over the OEM limit. :D

The dark theme for the 'Full' version looks so much nicer than the demo.

Have you noticed whether the fuel consumption tracking it does is accurate? I never found the Informeter to be anywhere near the actual scenario for me.

Did you bypass the rev limiter via HobDrive or the EMU? My Impul ECU already lifted my rev limit, Im happy with where it's been set but Im curious as to whether the speed limit could be removed via this also? (However, again, my impul already took care of that)

Bypass was via the EMU. Speed limit can't be adjusted by the EMU

Working on an EMU speed input so I can program launch control with ignition retard.

I haven't setup the parameters for fuel consumption. But I imagine the data would be accurate if the input settings are accurate.

I can confirm the HobDrive doesn't clear the brake wire cut mod CEL. Comes up as 4WD status high or similar. All other code display and clear ok.

I'm haven't sent in my custom Stagea screen layout request yet although it has been approved.

I have my wide band simulating the narrow band so I plan on having lambda translated to AFR with a line graph background, intake temp, coolant temp, ignition timing, short and long term fuel trims, trains oil temp and the boost sensor output translated to psi

Been following this for a while now trying to get it working on my car. After a couple of dud bluetooth ones I saw you got the Vgate so found a cheap one on aliexpress for about $25USD which seems to do the trick with Hobdrive trial.

Do you still have the promo code for the full version Matt? I'm keen to give it a whirl.

Also, how long did it take you to do diagnostic scan? I've had mine on the diagnostics screen for about 15 mins and it's still saying 'initializing'. Is there a 'scan' or 'on' button I'm missing?

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.

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts
