Hey, Just wanted to fill you in on a small problem that I encountered the other day. Cruising along the highway on my way to work I glanced down at my standard GTR oil presure gauge and freaked when I saw that it was just 2kg at 3500rpm. I was stuck at work and left wondering all day about all the possibilities of what could be causing the low oil pressure. I spoke to someone at Advan and was told that the standard GTR sender units give a lot of trouble and can't really be trusted and also that the N1 oil pumps have a habit of breaking the gear. So as soon as work finished I was under the bonnet attemptng to check my oil presure. I disconnected the sender unit wiring plug and noticed a bit of corrosion around the connector terminals. I cleaned off the corrosion, reconnected the sender and started the car, straight away the oil presure shot up to around 3kg at idle!! And at 3500rpm sits around the 6 - 7kg mark. They are fitted with a rubber boot over the sender plug but in my case was not fitted properly, causing the corosion.

2kg (no lower) is ok at idle when the engine is at operating temp, but even then as you increase the revs the oil presure should increase too. If yours doesn't move at all then at a guess I'd say that you have a problem with the sender unit. It's located next to the oil filter and is fairly easy to access. Unplug the wiring at the back of the sender, give the terminals a clean with contact cleaner (solvent) and give it a try. If that fails then I'd be checking the oil presure with a workshop type gauge and if that checks out ok, then another sender unit or an aftermarket sender and gauge. :)

the n1 oil pumps are strong.. its the standard oil pumps that tend to brake the gears

      Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf

      I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf

      yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things

      I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.

      BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
