Sorry if this has already been asked before, I searched but was unable to find anything on this issue. I have an R32 GT-R running a Power FC and it will only ever reach 7lbs of boost even though it's set to 20lbs, is this possibly due to a 'limp home' mode or something of the sort? There doesn't appear to be any leaks and I've checked through the hand controller and all the settings appear to be the same as they used to be. The knock sensor is registering higher than previously was but nothing overly worrisome. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What sort of boost controller you're using will be handy to know-( eg. if you have a blitz SBC i-D set to 20 in manual mode it's a percentage, not a psi level) although 7 psi is pretty low?- Have you checked this boost level with a gauge that's know to be accurate?

assuming its a power fc boost control kit? is it still turned on in the etc menu? afaik theres no limp mode in the pfc, its pretty basic.

checked the solenoid works?

It's a Greddy E-01 boost manager, adjusted the solenoid and all it did was mess with the idle. It still caps out at 7psi.

The power fc wont do that, It will cut the engine if you go over your set boost level (with the boost sensor enabled and connected)

What boost controller are you running? have you got it set right?

Greddy E-01, haven't consciously changed any of the settings since it was tuned and I don't leave the remote plugged in to prevent accidental changes.

I have an analogue gauge plugged in which appears to reflect the same boost.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
