NO OIL PRESSURE

Hey guys new to the skyline scene always wanted one. I brought a 1994 r33 skyline gtst 3 weeks ago. I drove it home fine around 100kms away from home. I parked it in my driveway which is steep arse down nose up. Started the car to take it for a rwc and it ran okay but not the best. Got home and parked it nose down the driveway. Now the car has no oil pressure on the gauge and the lifters sound like they want to jump out of yhe engine. Checked inside the oil filler cap and looks like no oil getting to the top of the motor. Any ideas guys ? Im thinking oil pump but as i said new to skylines and not 100% sure. Any ideas would be useful guys.

Don't always trust the oil pressure gage. At best it gives an indication. Sometimes the gage or the oil pressure sender just fails.

Obviously don't drive it until diagnosed correctly. Get another gauge on it and test it and go from there.

Yes it could be the oil pump, or it could be something else.

If your still talking to the previous owner it wouldn't hurt to ask the history.

Sounds like you may have been duded. Highly likely the previous owner has had it checked out and may know the issue (and cost to fix).

Get a good mechanic to go over it now.

Obviously would have been best to do this ^ before parting with your hard earned!

Thanks mate. Seen this motor working perfect b4 pulled out so I know its a good one. Bigger job than expected though motor replacement. I can have a commodore motor out and back in 2 hours lol. This has been nearly a month to get this far. Just wanna make sure its done right. Plus mechanics wanted $3500 to replace the motor with me buying a motor to go in.

About $1.5k-$2k too much^

Take your time and ask questions on SAU if you get stuck.

It really peeves me how others can sell a lemon.

Yeah mate i did no oil pressure at all. No oil in the top end of the motor looks clean like its just been degreased and dry even after motor running for 30 secs to min max( didnt wanna run it longer motor sounded like it was gonna fall apart ).

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise

      Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
