R32 GTR oil pressure question

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

Hey guys

Just a QQ for you, on my way home tonight, I noticed my oil pressure gauge on the top right hand side of the dash cluster hovering above 0. it was almost on it, then went back up a bit later on but not much changing

what is the ideal level for where this guage should sit?

Mine does this also, I have a GTR tho.. Get it checked out asap. Could be just the gauge or something more serious.

My bad, i see you also have a GTR. Possible Oil pump issue or fauly sender unit ..

I spoke to my mechanic who serviced the car and he said don't be too worried as its usually just the sender playing up. its full of oil and doesn't leek

I am fitting an oil relocation kit and an aftermarket electronic gauge soon hopefully

Don't risk it... get the oil pressure gauge ASAP.

You don't have to have an oil leak to have low oil pressure - the back of the oil pump the screws in the backing plate come loose due to age & vibration and that can cause fluctuating loss of oil pressure.... not worth risking a $6-8k rebuild on trust me

Don't wait until you get the new guage. Get the oil pressure tested with a mechanical guage immediately.

Idle should be roughly 15-20 psi

2500-3000 should be roughly 25-30 psi

4000-5000 should be roughly 35-40 psi

5500-6500 should be roughly 45-55 psi
