Bit of an update... Decided replace the turbos but as we removed the plenum we fount almost every hose was split and the accordian hose to the passenger intercooler wasnt connected. The plenum has excessive oil laying in it inc all the pipes to the intercoolers Could this all result in complete loss of boost?? Ive aquired a plenum with an egr delete kit alredy fitted , a couple of arc intercoolers and airbox of my m8 whos helping me fix the car so theyll be fitted as soon as the replacement hoses arrive:)

Well did the layex glove idea and both worth not blowing.. Seemed like they were both sucking the glove in.. Guess i know what ill be doing over the next couple of weeks:( lol Is it safe to drive the car around obviously slowly?? Will it do any harm??.. Ive driven it around town over last few days collecting parts for it. Like i said apart from no boost atall its running fine!!

Yep. The black blue steering wheel and hub is hanging in the garage m8. Its in like new condition. Make me an offer:)

as i understand it,boost safety mode cuts the boost solenoid but the turbo will still boost 6-7 psi on the wastegate?? if thats correct then mine cant be in boost safety as i cant even get any boost.lol

so will there be much air coming from these pipes?? enough to just feel?? if no air felt leaving the pipe then knackered turbo??

thanks.. ill check to see if theres any air moving from them pipes tomorow and yes id be up for any assistance cyberdean.. i got 2 garretts from my m8 sat in my garage.if it proves to be the turbo/turbos ill get them changed..i do like a challenge lmao. yes ive heard of this safety mode from the research ive done,and i havnt checked for any fault codes as im still struggling with the destructions on how to do it lol

YES treated meself to a tv,dvd,satnav jobbie:)

thanks guys and yes i do hope so as i m hoping i bought myself a cracking car:) heres 2 picks of the car.ill get some more after i get it fixed and valeted:) (note; them garish seats covers and steering wheel HAVE been removed) lol [/img]

Hi just purchased my 1st 300zx-TT and thought id say hi. Ill get sime picks up as soon as i can. Got a few issues with the car and ive posted in the help section for some advice as ive drawn a blank. Lol

Hi. Ill try and explain the best i can as not very good with all this writing stuff.. anyways i bought a 1990 300zx tt the other day, with low milage and full service histort. It looked like it had been stood awhile tho . When i went to pick it up it seemed like it was only running on a few cylinders.. This helped alot in knocking the price down severly. Anyways i ended up getting it very cheaply. we trailered the car away. Got it home and after a bit of research i decided to get some new plugs,fit them,also did the injector screwdriver test and found 2 of the injectors wernt working, i removed the plugs off them and found them to be green. I cleaned the terminals up and refitted them. Started the car and great it ran sweet as. After doing an oil,filter and coolant change i took it for a run.. Everything seemed fine until i tried to floor it. Absolutely no boost. Car runs sweet, the stock boost guage goes up to the 0 then stops. When i slow down the guage goes back into -.. Cant even hear if there spooling or not.. Al i do know is there is no hissing or strange noises from the engine bay. Ive had it on the ramps today to check as much as i can and all seems fine no apparent split hoses, turbo's and actuators all seem fine and are where there sposed to be.. Totally at a loss now and time to ask for some advice I know my way around jap stuff and have owned a wide variety of old school jap car but have nevet come across this before.. Last time i had a similar issue was wirh my r32 skyline but even tho it had a boost leak u could still hear the whoosh as the turbos spooled but obviously didnt get much boost but it still ahowed on the guage as boosting.. This car doesnt even get past 0 pn the guage lol Now ive checked with the service history and everything adds u with the milage and its the original engine according to the numbers. What i did find tho was a receipt for a superchip, performance exhaust,top end overhaul to the heads and a refurbishd and uprated gearbox to apparently handle the extra hp. Thr dyno receipt shows 376 bhp?? This to me sounds odd as i think it would ov needed more extras on it to make that kind of hp gains!!! I havnt fine through all the service hostory yet as there is so much.. Also ive noticed there was an ebc fitted but it has been removed Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated
