Hey guys,

I just gave my RB25 a freshen up. In the list of things that got done, a N1 oil pump installed. My question is directed at oil pressure. Before the install my oil pressure sat at 110kpa, which is spot on when warm. After the N1 was installed i noticed that my oil pressure is much higher - 190kpa when warm.

What are your thoughts?

Surely the oil pump has caused the pressure increase..........? is this good, bad or nothing...

what are the affects of excessive pressure and how much is too much

Idle oil pressure is not so important. As long as clean oil is flowing and you have at least 5psi at idle then the engine will not fail as a result.

it is better that you have 190kpa (27.5psi) at warm idle. There is no real 'too much' amount but if I were going to say 'geez that's a bit high', it would be at around 275kpa (40psi). Pressure above 110psi can sometimes lead to issues with seals etc but normally that kind of pressure is only at cold start and/or full throttle with a shimmed high flowing pump - and even then it's only for a short period.

Make sure you have 275kpa (40psi) at around 2500-3000rpm, 410kpa(60psi) at around 4000-6000rpm.

Anything over 6000rpm, try to ensure you have at least 60psi but not so important as long as your revs stay under 7000rpm.

Also keep in mind the thickness of your oil has much more impact on oil pressure than changing the pump (n1 has pretty close to std pressure, some others like tomei are higher than those). Are you using the same oil as before?

Yeh myt oil is always old, i change every 5000kms or 3 months and before and after every track day. Im using castrol edge sport 0w-40 atm. I always use 0w-40, but im thinking i might run thicker w50/w60 at the track.

At idle its 190kpa like i mentioned, at WOT when warm, im sure i see over 600kpa. Can double check today as my gauges have recall

I just gave it a strap in 2nd on the way to get brekkie, i got 620kpa (90psi?) at 6100rpm. Thats ok isnt it? As long as itr doesnt go over 110 psi.

This is my drift car too btw.

That's good.

Anything around that or up to 110 is fine really. Even over 110 is fine but its less desirable. Your pressure is good.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
