i just had a query today i got my car from the panel beaters after a week. they just had to paint the rear bar as someone scratched it. when i got it back i noticed that the oil light come on. i put the oil in the car but the level was more than normal. the light came and went, when the oil light came on the pressure dropped suddenly , like it had a faulty sensor.

The car is a NISSAN SKYLINE R33............. later on in the day it didnt come on no more, and the engine was making a slight knocking sound, so i really got worried this just happened today. i called my regular guy in melbourne, in dandenong, who works on them, he said to stop and get the car towed home and bring it to him tommorow, as the engine could cease. i was really worried does anybody have any ideas as to what it could be. the oil light now stays on. and no pressure is been displayed. and a slight knocking sound can be heard, at idle...............any advice would be apreciated, as i was really worried about the engine. im gonna look through the manual to see if i get any ideas. i live in Dandenong North does anybody know anyone good to see regarding this close to home.

Dont drive the car

get it towed, sounds like your mech has half a brain as thats the best advice one can give.

Call Jack from Citywide Towing - 0419-877-437

And get it to you mechanic mate and go from there.

      Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)

      Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.

      A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
