don't worry, r32 oil pressure gauges are often faulty and read wrong.

Every R32 i've seen including mine either reads wrong or just doesn't move at all, and i've checked heaps :bunny:

You only have to worry if the little red light comes on :D

its not the actual gauge. its the oil pressure switch. get it changed soon or go get an aftermarket oil pressure gauge which comes with its own oil pressure sender which replaces the standard one.

this is a common problem with 32's.

i had the same kinda thing on my r33 recently.. once the car was pretty hot the gauge would randomly show it at 1psi for a while.. i soaked the electrical connector on the back of the oil sender in contact cleaner and it hasnt stuffed up since..

I think in my case though i had spilt heaps of oil on it when i took the oil filter off last time :(

The sender is quite easy to remove.. get a 17mm spanner on there, and unscrew from behind.. if you jack that side of the car up, it shouldn't leak any oil out the block.

Screw in new or replacement sender. Probably best off with an aftermarket gauge when you're there.

Yeah mine just stays below 4 all the time, good to know this is common and not much to worry about :(

i'd still go and get your sender replaced to make sure. its not something you want to take a gamble on.

justjap sell oil pressure gauges which include the sender in the pack for $50. cheap insurance if you ask me... very cheap.

  • 2 weeks later...
in my 32 gauge reads about 4 on start up and once warm reads almost 0 then 0. been told to replace oil pressure sender, yeah common problem.

Mine used to be fine, alway on 4 or just under, Last week i noticed that when i start the car it reads about 4 and once warm reads almost 0. Same as yours. I think i might get a oil pressure gadge and test it out next week.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
