2 possibilities.

1. your oil pump has failed.

2. Your oil pressure sensor has failed.

If you are still driving the car, I would expect the engine to be making some horrible noises if the pump has failed, so it may just be a pressure sensor.

However, I would NOT drive the car or start the engine again until you can have it checked, as running the engine with a failed oil pump will cause significant engine damage.

Thanks mate. Actually the engine sounded normal. What happened was the engine died

at the traffic light and when I restarted the engine light together with the slip and vdc lights were all on.eventually they were off except for the engine light. Anyway can you tell me where the oil sensor is located???

As I mentioned when replying to the PM you sent.. it is impossible to diagnose over the internet.. the only way is to have the codes read by a mechanic with a scan tool, or a nissan dealer. That will tell you which sensor/item has triggered the engine warning light.

People have experienced these symptoms before, but the engine light is a general 'fault' indicator triggered by a variety of faults.

    • For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
    • WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
    • blame old mate Hawkins for that one  I remember way back in the day the japanese didn't want them either... they always assumed a race shell would be thrashed. We found a few when looking for an R34 GTR for the Whites to drive in Targa Tas back in 2002.
    • I know it's probably not going to cause any major engine issues. I just had a more generic concern that it's technically not running right (I guess this means the rpm is not sitting where it technically should be) Though the other thing is, it's that my steering wheel is shaking at 1,100 rpm at idle until it gets warm (seemed to happen after I tightened my alternator belt, will be testing the alternator soon).
    • I mean, what's the concern here? Higher fuel consumption? FWIW my idle sits at around 800rpm or so as well. And yes, it runs fine, idles fine and there are no issues as far as I can tell. I don't quite see the problem.
