hey guys i just changed the inlet and outlet gaskets on the turbo as it was making no boost when i bought it, and now that the exhaust leak is gone it sounds normal and makes boost, but cuts out when it hits around 12-14psi. the car is completely stock, and i mean literally completely stock. first off, how come it makes 14psi. And secondly, is there a built in fuel cut etc that kicks in around 1bar? need to get it on the road asap as my other cars have a few issues lol. thanks in advance guys.

yes there is a built in cut in the ecu.

as for the pressure it is running, check to make sure there is no boost controller in the hose from the intercooler piping to the wastegate actuator. if there isn't then when you replaced the gaskets you may have reinstalled things so that the wastegate flap is fouling on something and not working properly.

Pretty certain RB20DET doesn't have a fuel cut. Only limiters built into the R32 GTSt is a rev limiter (around 7500), and a speed limiter (180kph).

So, how many revs are you pulling when you have 12psi and the "limiter" cuts in?

It could be running high boost for a number of reasons, like a leak in the wastegate actuator hose, or the wastegate isn't opening correctly.

the wastegate vacuum hose has a manual valve t'd into it, so i removed it today and it now hits around 12psi again but the engine doesn't cut out. it still acts a little strange sometimes when its on 12psi i.e hesitation etc. but overall seems to be running better. and no fun police now lol. looks like its making 12psi at around 3000-3500. couldn't really watch but it build really quickly.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
