R34 Oil Pressure Guage Not Working

Hey all,

My oil pressure guage almost always doesnt work. It just sits on zero the whole time and will sometimes come to life with the needle pointing around the 2 mark (quarter of the way).

This guage and my boost guage are the only ones that ever do this - the boost guage is not a big worry seeing as i have an aftermarket guage installed (which ALWAYS works).

Any suggestions or solutions would be heaps helpful.

Many thanks in advance,

Ado Potato.

With R32's at least, it's usually the oil pressure switch has become dirty (near the oil filter), unplug the rubber boot and give the contact points a good clean with contact cleaner and should fix it. Otherwise if the oil pressure gauge is still acting up, A/M pressure gauge is the only other option.

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      It just occurred to me. The way I am asking for increasing bite as I slow down (ie more bite the more time on the brakes), that is actually sounding like less initial bite, and hence the bite would feel to increase.

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      Sorry, I must've not been clear enough. On my 350GT, the pads originally on the car created dust to high heaven, and did not squeal at any time. I got new low dust pads, that created absolutely NO visible dust, that squealed when cold.  It wasn't  the initial bite, so much as an increase in braking, without extra brake pedal pressure, during a single brake instance. I had to lift off a little as my speed decreased to zero. Loved it! Now on my 370GT, I have to press a little harder as I approach zero. Not hard, just harder. I am too lazy and live in a city block with no room or tools to do it myself, so I would be paying someone to do the switch I looked at the three offerings by Intima, and one of them had a Features line that caught my eye. "Strong initial bite with continual rising coefficient". The problem is that this is on their "Trackday, Time Attack, Sprint" pads, not their day-to-day pads. Its possible that JAX installed track day pads on my 350GT, I just don't know. But I was pretty clear I did not track the car and drove the streets pretty gently. https://intimabrakes.com.au/home-corporate/intima-rr/ I'll send them an email and also check if other pads purport that behaviour.
