Gt-r Oil Pressure Guage

Greetings all,

I was wondering whether R32 GT-R oil pressure gauges commonly show different values? Mine will go from 4 kg/cm2 down to almost no indicated pressure and back again in one short space of driving. I don't seem to be able to hear any rattling from the top half of the engine while it's supposedly got no pressure (according to the gauge)

I'm kind of hoping that it's not the oil pump on it's way out, and it's just the gauge on the blink!

Has anyone else had this issue before?

If you had searched, you would have discovered that the sender units are a bit suspect.

If you are concerned about a total loss of oil pressure, there is also a "oh sh!t" warning light when you actually have no pressure.

Hey thanks Mr elk, that calms the nerves a bit. I did a search but maybe I put the wrong key words in, because it helped me nowt.

I wanted to make sure it wasn't a sign of the pump failing, because I'm aware of these being 'suspect' also...

Yep, my oil pump blew and I thought it was just a faulty gauage sender. An expensive lesson learnt indeed. If I were to see any variations with my gauge again I will take it straight to my mech. Get the sender sorted out straight away or install an external guage completely. Try not to take it too lightly because you never know....

I'll give the sender a clean asap, at least I'll hopefully know whether it's this part playing up. Might be a good idea to install an aftermarket pressure gauge for peace of mind. A blown engine due to oil pump failure would bring a tear to my eye...

Thanks for your input guys ;)

      Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.

      Of course it would be - But you shouldn't be here.

      This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.

      None on 33s.

      I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.
