  1. Afternoon gents... Been a long time since been on here or posted with my recent move up to brizzy and hectic amount of work.

    Just after a quick list of recommended service centres for our nm35 models been calling a few mobs but either they have never heard of the Moodle or don't want to touch them.

    Any help would be appreciated as normally I would do the work myself but have no garage at the moment to work on it.

  2. The plug is there. Mine was taped to the main harness out of the way. The yellow wire is the earth as per previous posts. Turns out my 2 units are not LED but as i have it working im not too fussed.

    im still confused lol.... Would love a write up on how you sorted it all out mate and to add job well done bro! [emoji106]
  3. Ha, my bro has been an apprentice for 2 months I think. I more meant I have access to a workshop and he can help me rip parts out etc. He didn't just say "an external wastegate" but I'm not mech minded so cut it down.

    I've no idea what the wastegate actuator upgrade from Scotty is but I sent him a PM - if it fixes the issue and it's less than upgrading the turbo then it's a done deal. My car has 210,000km on it now so I'm surprised the entire Turbo is still alive but it is.

    Thanks to both of you for the info :)

    no worries mate yep Scottys actuator upgrade is a 1bar actuator with and adjustable arm will bolt strait into the turbo with the 5mm bracket he does. If your turbo is still running sweet and it's just the diaphragm in the actuator is gone that's all you should need! Scott will sort you out mate [emoji106] hope you get it all sort at a decent price would be a shame for absorber one to be sold off for bits there no that old and a great car!
  4. Hit up Scotty for a wastegate actuator upgrade! Install it and Problem fixed!

    You would have little to no room for an external gate and if you did and are still running the stock internally gated turbo what's going to control that?

  5. So not a cheap week for my stagea but damn it's good to drive now.

    Got bad fuel so took it into work to have the mechanics drain it and also do a service cause I was feeling lazy.

    A week later and many many $$$$ later the car has had the following done, some needed some preventative.

    Found and fixed a small boost leak

    2 front wheel bearings

    Steering rack rebuild

    New control arm bushes

    New diff bushes

    New sub frame bushes

    Spark plugs

    New compression rod bushes

    Also found a faulty cool pack.

    Plus a few other bits.

    Now it is all done and wheel aligned just in time for double demerit points so it has been parked away for the weekend haha.

    josh how much did they charge you for labour on all the bushing mate? Looking at getting all mine done to. Did you run with OEM ones or superpro or the like? Will feel amazing to drive now mate I bet.
  6. Nathan, if it is boost cut I would expect the MIL to light up. I wonder if the AFM was clamped correctly... As I said I have no idea how they tuned the HDI mate.

    You can just block stock boost sensor, then you never get 21psi boost cut.

    See attached pic, No.1 is boost sensor

    thank you gents I blocked off the map sensor this morning drove it hard to work to see if any boost cut... Seems to have done the trick.

    I wasn't getting a mil light when it was happening but seems good now I'll test over the coming days and see how it goes.

    I wasn't getting any cut in the dyno or for a few weeks after the tune, just came on all of a sudden. The ECU does learn at a fast rate so not sure why or how it happened.

    Thanks for everyone's help with this gents [emoji106][emoji4]

  7. Seemed to have developed a boost or fuel cut on hard acceleration in 2nd gear and sometimes 3rd. Not sure if what has happened but feel like the engine fuel and boost all cut for a second so I let off the gas for a sec and bang all good again. Any one with thoughts on what it could be boost cut, fuel cut ? Running 19psi on max rom tuned with Walbro pump 3" turbo back and intake.

    Maxing injectors maybe?

  8. Disk is not held on by that nut only hub

    I was referring to the rotor not being bolted down by the lug nuts. As wobbling the rotor with out the nuts on its not attached to the hub to see if there is any bearing movement.
  9. 152kw on stock ecu and injectors. boost cut at 14psi lol. I've looked at the intense Rs, problem is they can't run anything less then 30psi, Car is my daily, no local E85 pumps.

    Hypergear's got a totally different rep in other crowds. They are working another M35.

    tuned on pump98 with stock injectors! Mate I'm runing 16-19 psi so don't know where you got this 30psi minimum from? Mine is my daily to and with the tune it's been much for fuel efficient and better to drive. The intense billet RS has a upgraded 1bar actuator but with a ebc or mbc you set the boost to your desired level dude.
