Still running the factory viscous clutch fan? Still has the little undertray thingy between the radiator and the engine X-member?

Does it have a front-mount intercooler?

Its all stock, stock intercooler and everything, clutch fan, and yeah its not loosing fluid , i just flushed it and put new coolant in it

Well if its not loosing fluid and youve changed the thermostat it could be gunked up, then the flush you did will help but if it continues get it to a sepecialist fast because ive had similar problems with other cars and it just gets worse.

water pump dead ???
Now that you mention it, there was a case over on SDU - some sucker in the States, turned out the water pump had next to no vanes on the pump's impeller wheel :Oops:

yer when i got my 100K service done and the mechanic pulled out the water pump, thats exactly what happened. he asked me if i noticed high temps, and i said no, was normal (smack middle of the temp guage). i only just bought the 32 and had done 500km's so if the engine was going it would have happened to the previous owner. (haha the mech said it was the most damaged water pump he had ever seen).

pretty hard to tell if its the pump blades though, since you gotta dissamble a whole heap of stuff.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
