Hi all,

I have an R33 series 1 and of late im getting an elevated oil pressure when i start the car (like reading is 3/4 of gauge).

Then for the first aprox 8 mins after ive been driving it the pressure drops to normal. I hasnt really bothered me in the past and as far as i can tell nothing is going wrong with it (touch wood) but im just wondering if anyone else has had a simular issue or can offer any advice.

Cheers, Evan

Have you recently done an oil change and changed to a higher viscosity oil? If so this is probably why you are noticing it has higher oil pressure on start up then before (or it's always been like this and this is the first time you have noticed it).

Perfectly normal dude.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies!

I have recentelly (a few months ago) had a full service and tune attented too and since then the pressure has been elevated, but then decreases. So what SAU members have suggested, i think, is spot on! :P

Again, thanks and all the best ppl!!!

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.

      I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?

      Yeah, that and throwing away opened, part used, closed back up bottles has got to be bullshit. Brake fluid sits in not-very-well sealed master cylinder reservoirs for literal years and keeps working (albeit we know we should flush it every couple of years - it actually still works). Anything kept in a bottle in the shed with a tightly capped lid has got to be a million times better than what has been in the car for the same length of time.

      Wait, they're claiming UNOPENED fluid has a shelf life of only 18 months?
