don't worry, r32 oil pressure gauges are often faulty and read wrong.

Every R32 i've seen including mine either reads wrong or just doesn't move at all, and i've checked heaps :bunny:

You only have to worry if the little red light comes on :D

its not the actual gauge. its the oil pressure switch. get it changed soon or go get an aftermarket oil pressure gauge which comes with its own oil pressure sender which replaces the standard one.

this is a common problem with 32's.

i had the same kinda thing on my r33 recently.. once the car was pretty hot the gauge would randomly show it at 1psi for a while.. i soaked the electrical connector on the back of the oil sender in contact cleaner and it hasnt stuffed up since..

I think in my case though i had spilt heaps of oil on it when i took the oil filter off last time :(

The sender is quite easy to remove.. get a 17mm spanner on there, and unscrew from behind.. if you jack that side of the car up, it shouldn't leak any oil out the block.

Screw in new or replacement sender. Probably best off with an aftermarket gauge when you're there.

Yeah mine just stays below 4 all the time, good to know this is common and not much to worry about :(

i'd still go and get your sender replaced to make sure. its not something you want to take a gamble on.

justjap sell oil pressure gauges which include the sender in the pack for $50. cheap insurance if you ask me... very cheap.

in my 32 gauge reads about 4 on start up and once warm reads almost 0 then 0. been told to replace oil pressure sender, yeah common problem.

Mine used to be fine, alway on 4 or just under, Last week i noticed that when i start the car it reads about 4 and once warm reads almost 0. Same as yours. I think i might get a oil pressure gadge and test it out next week.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
