hey guys got me a slight prob. ive got plenty of oil. done just under 3000kms since last change. ive NEVER seen the oil light come on. runs on around 4 to 6kg oil press when cold but then drops to 0 after 20kms or so.

its freakin me out cos i cant afford a damn rebuild. the car has only basic mods. twin pods, dumps/front pipes and zorst. apart from them, its stock.

ANY ideas??? reckon its the pump, lifters, maybe the gauge is stuffed? anyone had anything like this go wrong?

does the engine light come on?

it could be a faulty oil pressure switch, but if your engine light comes on then its not a faulty switch.

best to get a mechanic to check it out with a seperate pressure tester.

Most likely its the sender unit, and the fact that they are all crap.

Well worth buying a nice aftermarket one, that will show you if you're in trouble :nyaanyaa:

Yeh I had the same scare with my 32 GTR when I bought it. I had to transport the car 300 f..ing klm and half way home I noticed no oil pressure sitting on 100kph. So I slowed down and the pressure came up a little. It was all over the place and mostly no pressure. Ended up being a stuffed sender unit. Seems its very common.

Cheers

      Looks like a scam. It has all the telltale signs: - The "business" doesn't have a physical address or really any kind information listed - It's using a generic online store website template - The prices are ridiculously reduced. To good to be true cheap - Everything is in stock and can be ordered in any possible combination   I've seen a few of these for other products as well. Things like sunglasses for example. I'd say stay away from it! And maybe reach out to the real theskylineshed and let them know this exists. I doubt there is much they can do about it, but still.   I don't know if they would actually take your money if you ordered something. Or whether it is just for collecting credit card details to scam otherwise. I'm not game enough to try it.

      The vendor you bought from is a dickhead who can't tell the difference between AWD and RWD bearings. Their eBay listing is one of the first hits too, and is wrong. Any other hit shows the ones that are on your car. A search for GTR rear wheel bearings, unsurprisingly, finds the one you have from Shift. f**king muppets.

      Got the flat door cards "good enough" for now. After cutting out the arm rest I removed all the stock trim material. Then filled the gap with a bit of Masonite and wrapped it in some adhesive foam to hide the  transitions as much as possible. Then I applied some black vinyl material to the panel with some spray on contact adhesive smoothing the edges as best as I could. Here is how it sits in the car with the door handle and cut down window switch mounted
