    Oil Pressure Probs

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted · Edited by tmc_2

    Hey guys, i have bene experiencing irratic and low oil pressure readings.

    I got my self a AutoGauge smoke series electronic oil pressure gauge with sender from honsma and a sandwich plate from just jap.

    Now i cant get the gauge to read, i suspect the gauge is faulty or my wiring is wrong.

    The instructions with the gauge are crap and do not indicated what wires go where.

    Basically i have a orange, red and black wire which are conneteced up to supply light to the gauge.

    this leaves me with a Black , Red and Green wire which are for the sender.

    On the two terminals on the sender one has the letter 'G' adn the other "WK:Ground'

    I connected the black wire to WK:ground and the green wire the the terminal with 'g' and the red wire to a powersource.

    Now the gauge does not read at all stays dead on 0psi , my stock gauge still reads.

    Does any one have any ideas or a wiring diagram at all? i cant find any info about them

    Cheers.

    Hey Frog man, thanks for the info! :(

    With buffing does that have to be done with and electric orbital buffer?

    Should i not even attmept to buff by hand?

    And also what cut/polish should i be using?

    thanks again.

    Frost this might not help much but do a ebay search for 'metal flake'

    thats how i found my holographic flakes to put in the clear coat.

    Cheers

    I think u cant spray 2pac unless ur on a approved premises, the stuff is toxic.

    I thin ku can do acrylic at home as long as ur neighbours dont complain lol.

    I am in the process of doing my bonnet at home in acrylic.

    fist i used cans and did a suprisingly good back yard job lol

    2nd time i used a super cheap spray gun with the cansiter below it turned out crap.

    I just bought a gravity fed spray gun and im going to try and paint it gloss black with clear coat, in my clear coat i will put metal flakes.

    So we will see how bad i can stuff this up lol

    Fibreglass Bonnet

    Where did you get the bonnet and how much? If you don't mind my asking :action-smiley-069:

    I got a ADR approved one from www.blitsbodykits.com.au .

    They are awsome and will deliver. The bonnet is not as light as my C/F one but is a little lighter that stock steel bonnet.

    They are the only peopl eto hold a ADR for a fibreglass r33 bonnet.

    The ADR is very strict with design requirments which is why this bonnet is not as light as my C/F one.

    It is certainly the most sturdy non steel aftermarket bonnet i have seen.

    Fitment is perfect.

    Price is outstanding and you also have peice of mind next time a police man tries to pin u for having a fibreglass bonnet :banana:

    Blits are great to deal with, family run business.

    Changed Plugs, Misfire Is Now Worse!

    hehe thanks but i just paid $80 for the iridiums so im not going to go now & get some $3 plugs...old plugs were same gap (1.1mm) so why now is misfire worse?

    Hard to say why it didnt before and does it now. a 1.1 gap is big for most skylines. i gues the age of the coilpacks makes it not fire as strong as they should so 1.1 gpa can have issues.

    If u dont wanna buy $3 coppe rplugs just re-gap ur new plugs to 0.8 . u should not have to go less than that.

    It will fix ur miss.

    Hi guys,

    I tried seraching cant find any thing.

    I had a CF vented bonnet but too many fines from police prompted me to get an ADR approved fibre glass vented bonnet. MyCF bonnet did no require bonnet pins.

    Now my Fibreglass one may require pins if it is not stable at high speed.

    Does any one know if pins are illeagle or are there a certain type of bonnet pin that is accepted?

    Cheers.
