Can anyone help ???

I got a r33 gtst and the oil pressure never goes under the second line (before the 4) but my friends RB25DE r33 goes all the way down to close to 0 when its idle.

The car makes a weird sound when its at idle (she calls it the gremlens) but its like a howling sound. Could that mean the oil pump is stuffed?

as soon as you raise the revs by at least 300rpm the sound goes away and oil pressure goes back to normal levels. (just before the 4 or abouts)

When driving its fine......

Whats up with the beast ? does it really matter to have close to 0 oil pressure on idle ?? The engine is NON turbo...

When I put 5w-50 fully synthetic oil in my car I had the same problem. I then put some 10w-50 in and the problem went away. My conclusion was that the oil was way to thin for the engine.

This may have something to do with the problem your friend is experiencing.

I thought it was 7.5W-30 factory recommended. I'm using 5W-30 and don't have any oil pressure problems. I actually slightly over-filled it and I was waiting for some of it to burn off but it's not happening.

As far as i know on a proper idle from factory specs when the car is at optimal operating temps it meant to sit on number 1, 1.5...

I been using 5-40w oils the pressure is exactly the same as in facotry specs, i tried a more expensive oil 10w-60w abit high but oh well though i tried it, the oil pressure was sitting at like 3-4 nearly double, it was too thick, very high tech engines and the oil aslo dosent get around everywhere it supposed to be. Probably wouldnt go over 10-50w maybe 10-40w would be perfect.

the stock gauges / senders read low, regardless of what oil you use (i have tried many viscosities) when warm. I have an aftermarket Trust oil press gauge and when i'm revving it the stock gauge reads just over 4, but the trust one is at about 6-7. Don't worry too much, @ idle the stock reads about 1, the Trust one at 1.5. :D

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
