hey everyone, i need some advise.

i would just like to know if it is normal for the oil pressure guage to fluxuate whilst driving......

if i am idling it sits n about 1kg/cm squared

if i am reving a littly it sits on 2kg/cm squared

if i am driving quite hard it sits on 4kg/cm squared.

but i am a bit worried, when i look down and its on zero sometimes.. i checked my oil, its fine.. what could it be. just a poor guage? or is there a problem it could have?

one other thing... i am getting a major car service tomorrow.. and i was wondering if there was anything i should recommend or ask him to do. like, is there any particular motor oils that you think is good for my car or just anything that i could ask for that is a little better quality for any part of the service...... let me know please..

any suggestions are appreciated. thanks

maybe get them to check your oil pressure with a mechanical guage. they will temporarily remove your sender and put their guage in and check it that way..

ahhhh yeah good idea, thanks...... =]

no wrries the guy is looking at it today so ill go from there and if it is the sender ill prolly get a new guage anyways... would the gtr middle console part with the guages fit in my gtst?

Don't be too fussed about it.

On start up its quite high almost up to 8 on a cold day.

The readings you have mentioned is pretty much normal.

As Cronic has said, just get an aftermarket one just to be sure.

hey all. got my service done. my air flow metre was goOne and he replaced that and now it doesnt misfire at all. yayz.

all up this was the reciept

carry out service and check over---------------$40.00

environment levy------------------------------$5.00

diagnose faulty air flow meter-repair wire plug---$120.00

Labour----------------------------------------$80.00

Tax $24.50

Total $269.00

Is that about right for a major service?

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
