recently after picking up the missus i noticed my oil light was on, naturally i freaked out pulled over and turned the car off. when i started it again the warning didnt go away it was still there but dim. no idea whats going on since then ive changed my oil everyday to no avail the lights still dim and from what i can tell i have good oil pressure and its filled correctly. any help will be appreciated

Cheers Jason

Shitty sensor. As I've read many times on here in either the Forced Induction Performance forum or General Maintenance, the stock sensor/gauge is shitty. If you KNOW you have pressure, and that your oil isn't low, invest in an aftermarket gauge and sensor.

I'm not going to attempt to diagnose your cars issue (if there is one at all), but for reference, I have recently hooked up an aftermarket oil pressure gauge into my car (also a S2 R33), and its pretty clear now that the stock gauge doesn't really have a clue whats actually going on. Specifically, my stock gauge only seems accurate +-2BAR (ie. inaccurate), and is very, very unresponsive.

my stock gauge seems to be working fine how ever i do have an autometer gauge which i havent installed yet. its it hard or expensive to replace the sensor?

bit the bullet and finally connected my autometer prolite comp oil pressure gauge, on idle my car floats at 40-50 psi and goes all the way to 90 psi under load. i have a crazy feeling nothing bads happened but the senders def gone... may have something to do with flushing my radiator the other day... water went everywhere :happy: anywho im still not sure and im taking to to japspec tomoz to get it sorted cheers for the replys

What revs are you seeing 90psi at? shouldnt get that high until around 5-6k rpm, if you are seeing that sort of pressue at around 3000 you may have ring seal issue or the PCV breathers might be blocked, dont wanna scare you by saying that, but something to look out for.

cheers for the head up, i am seeing that PSI at 5-6k rpm so im assuming my oil pump is healthy. just got it back from japspec sensor got wet and short circuited but i also got my nismo twin plate put in... never experienced anything like it hahaha :)

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
