R34 Gtr Idle Oil Pressure

[iwanta34gtr]

Hi guys, have attached pic of oil pressure in 34 gtr on idle.

Seeking confirmation as to whether this is normal or a bit low? Oil change recently done, 10w40 and enough in there.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Quick post to confirm in case your worrying and need to know now.

Yes seems a bit low to me (I own an R32 GTR)

After warmed up mine sits just fractionally off the 4 at idle

You've said the oil level is at the top marker on the dipstick. ok, dId you check that yesterday, or just after refilling ?

I use motul 6100 which is 15w/50.

Have to wait now until the mech heads wake up to assist with possible causes.

Oil temp?

Should be over 4 if cold then sit on roughly 2 when warm...

Mechanical gauge is the only way to properly test too, as the stock pressure sender isn't the best nissan part lol.

I've attached a screen shot of the R32 RB26DETT manual which states that 1.5 kg/cm² (about 21 psi) at idle on a warm engine is spot on.

4 kg/cm² is nearly 60 psi which is very high for a warm engine at idle (might be a gauge or sender issue).

Thanks mate - I'll check it again and myself
