Howdy all,

I've searched the forums on how people fixed their dodgy oil pressure gauge readings and I couldnt find anything so I thought I would make this thread and I'm sure will help ALOT of forum users.

I did see in a few posts amoungst my search that people had 'cleaned' out their sender and presto the gauge worked like a dream because I myself, probably like many others - Do not want to fill their GT-R with filthy gauge therefor making their interior look tacky as - I am destoned to make the factory gauge work mint :).

Now please members out there share with me your experiances on how you got around this problem and if you had cleaned it how exactly did you guys go about it. Pictures would be a MAJOR help so if you can get pictures of the sender its self and how you went about it that would be fantastic.

I am mechanically minded so I do know what I am doing but just need to know how you guys went about it so saves alot of 'trial and error' situations with myself and many others out there that will come accross this thread.

Another big question - Can brand new senders be bought from Nissan or any other dealer or even aftermarket senders that will wire upto the standard gauge?

Thanks all,

Wayne.

mine was straight swap , on skyline im not too sure , best bet would be getting genuine one and using that.

go to your local auto spares shop and ask for one and check prices and how many wires it will have

from memory its under the intake manifold so you can have a look how many wires it has

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".

      Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha
