Probably been covered before, but I'm interested to know....

What do your gauges sit at at cold start up? Then when normal temperature is reached what does it sit at? ie. idling in traffic?

Mine on cold startup sits just over 4 then when idling in traffic is just slightly over the 1st quarter on the gauge.

This could make an interesting little poll....

Ev.

RB26DETT here:

Sits on 4 ish when cold. When it heats up it sits on 2 ish. If drive it hard, with some full throttle etc, it drops right down to 1 or below.

As the oil heats up the pressure should drop. Changes will vary between oils, a low viscosity at hot oil (ie: 5w/30 or 10w/40) will have a lower pressure than a higher viscosity at hot oil (ie: 5w/50 or 10w/60). The second number refers to the oils hot temp weight.

I have found that it reads different depending on the oil level, if I have over filled it a bit, it reads higher than normal until hot, if its a bit under it reads just a bit lower, when hot as well. it reads alot higher for the same amount of less does.

Anyone think mine is too high?

R32 GTR, freshly built, n1 oil pump

cold 8 bar,

warmed up 4

driving hard between 3-4

Oil - Mobil 1... forget viscosity of it...something like 10-50 or 5-50..

About the same as mine.

When its cold, its just under 8 bar tho.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
