Hey all,

I know this has been asked a lot but about a day or so ago i noticed that my oil pressure guage is showing 8 and over (going past the last mark on the guage) should i be worried. I thought i may have had something to do with my white face dials getting installed and them buggering up the needle but they didn't cause it was fine after getting the dials installed.

I have not checked my oil yet, i will do that, i have only had the car for a month.

Cheers

Kris

Kris,

Really high oil pressure is usually due tot he wrong grade of oil being used.

What is the pressure at idle when warm? And what it is at cruising speeds when warm?

If in dought, dump the oil and filter and change it to something the guys on here recommend.

Cheers

I would suggest it's the sender. Disconnect the wire from the sender and see what happens to the gauge. Then try earthing the wire.

(had a similar problem in my R30 - oil pressure without the engine running, just with key in 'ON' position)

sounds like the factory gauge/sensor playing up as you mentioned it only just started happening, i.e it was fine with the same oil....

but check oil to see level, and for contamination (water or fuel etc.) and buy an aftermarket gauge for more accurate indication.

My Oil pressure reaches high's only in the mornings when car is cold. I hesitate to drive because the needle just keeps rising unless i put the car in neutral wait for it to drop then try driving again, is this normal

after engineis warm it sits in the middle.

Normal , the oil is too thick when cold .

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
