I've been running a '92 Z32 auto with no turbo boost for a couple of years, car runs fine but slow! Boost gauge moves from -14 up to zero but not into positive zone. Is there an easy way of diagnosing fault, I've been into Nissan dealership & they say replace turbo's. Could it not be an electical/hose/valve problem? Can hear the turbos spinning on acceleration. Had the car 6 years, it's a bit tired so don't want to spend a fortune. Also have no workshop manual, anybody know where you can get one other than Nissan?

 

Finally drivers side headlight appears to be pointing at a very low angle, don't tend to drive at night so only noticed recently. Inner lense appears well offset from hole in the casing, looks like whole thing has shifted.

 

Cheers,

I would start off with and ECU diagonistic to see what fault code you get, look up in the seach, its alway good to fit an aftermarket boost gauge as the standard ones are crap

 

oh and welcome to the club

Welcome fella,

As above do a Diag, you might be running in safety boost ? As for a manual you might want to take a good look at this online one...:bow: http://www.300zx.co.uk/cgi-bin/manual.cgi

 

Matt :duffer:

it sounds like one of your turbo's is seized :s

 

i'd get it to an expert, zen garage or ztech in the trade area will be able to help you out.

 

we have the service manual online here

Even if you were in safety boost you should still be reaching around 7psi. That would indicate that the gauge should go into the positive, unless it is completely shot. You said that the gauge didn't go into the positive at all.

 

I think Mike is on the right line .. get it to a specialist garage and get them to check it over.
