It is random, only just started. I'll worry about that later, anyway got it running and tried the latex glove trick and the drivers side inflated but the passenger sucked in. Does this mean the passenger turbo has died then?

It has an intermittent starting problem now also. Just get a buzzing sound sometimes and will turn over but not fire up.

Thanks, its the lack of time and lack of another car that's the problem and not performance cars, the same problems on my old supra or impreza take a fraction of the time to sort. You all might not like this but I regret selling my impreza and getting this, its just getting me down.

Thanks for all your help but I'm going to cut my losses and stick it on eBay for spares or repairs.

No, not always at 0 but will only raise to 0 when accelerating

It is running a bit lumpy. I can't hear the turbos spooling.

I finally got my 300 out for a test drive after sorting the water leaks but I feels slow and have no boost, it hose to 0 on the gauge but no further, what can this be?

Its leaking from the thermostat housing. I thought I was the water pump to start but after a closer look can see its from above the water pump.

Where is the best place to get a water pump? How much am I looking at?

Great bit of kit! :biggrin:

Thanks, I've ordered a set from Amazon

Thanks, I have managed to get one off but the other is completely round, I was looking at those sockets but just need to make sure I get a set with the right size, looks like I need a 13mm going by the one I have got off.

The 6mm Allen bolts that hold the metal pipes are rounded and can't shift them!

Looking closer at these it looks like they have sealant where they join the metal pipes so I think someone has tried to sort this in the past. I'm going to get them off clean it all, replace them and try again.

I'm in Wellingborough. This is my second 300zx, the first one I had about 8 years ago died after getting caught in a flooded road and ended up sucking in water and bending a con rod. I bought for £3000 and sold for a £1000 for spares (someone on here had it I think). This one doesn't owe me so much because its a bit rough round the edges but might end up the same way if its not a cheap fix.
