oil filter has been changed several times to eliminate it causing the problem. However, releif valve should be open if there is a restriction in that area.I seem to think that it maybe jammed closed and not operating at all ! I have taken it apart to check spring etc, found 2 shims under the retaining bolt, and also took aparta brand new N1 pump and found no shims ! they are only 1mm total thickness, harldy enough to change base oil pressure at idle by 65psi !

I have checked the spring rate, it is a linear spring and the same spring rate as a standard gtr 32 pump, the satndard pump i was comparing had 1 shim(0.5mm) the pump on the car which i am having problems with has 2 (1.0mm) and the brand new, unused N! pump had none !

Hence i dont think that this is the problem

I use a rule of thumb of 10 PSI per 1000RPM.

This 92PSI @ Idle sounds extreme.

Also when changing shim sizes, I have found on average for a pump this size (Pressure vs Volume) that as little as 0.010" can change the pressure 4PSI around the 100 mark.

Your releif valve could be just jammed shut?

>_<

ok... 92 pound is pretty normal.

my 200k old 32gtr runs:

cold start up. 6 bar

rev it abit goes up to 7.6bar

when the oil is at 80 degrees:

2.5 bar at idle 4bar by 3500 6bar @ 5000

its not a 253 mate.

thats some normal shiet, dont stresss

ok... 92 pound is pretty normal.

No that's not normal for an engine at idle and the oil at normal operating temp, as per the OP. For a stock oil pump and engine in good nick, an R32 GTR should have oil pressure of about 20psi at idle. The N1 oil pump has an increased spring rate on the relief valve to boost oil pressure, but at idle that should only give an increase of maybe 5psi at most, and certainly 92psi is way too much. Frankly I'm a little sceptical at such a high reading, esp at idle and would want to have it triple checked using a _calibrated_ gauge, but the cause is probably related to the relief valve and that needs to be checked.

SteveL, I would have to agree with you, as for checking the oil pressure, 3 guages have been used, all calibrated and all read as explained.92 psi at idle i believe is excessive, this is also at normal operating temperature ! Also, oil pressure doesnt change through out the rpm range as indicated by an increase in oil pump speed.I dont think that the relief vavle can hold such pressure when rpm increases, simple maths says, increase flow rate(pumps rpm) must be proportional to pressure head.Given the standard 10 psi per 1000 rpm, @ 6000 i would have approx 150 psi !, this is not the case, checked , re checked and checked again, oil pressure remains at an indicated 92 psi.

Its got me stumped

Have you checked the pressure with analog gauges or 3 standard nissan in dash units?

If you havent tried this, then get hold of a mechanical analog gauge, say 0 - 100 psig, see what happens.

You may have an electrical fault, sending the wrong current through the gauge. Because you said that it's at 95 pretty much all the time, it's like an alternator with it's current load when charging, kind of constant.???

Just a thought.

Im pretty sure he did say 2 mechanical gauges and 1 electrical gauge...sounds like hes in a workshop or works for a workshop so im guessing you didnt try three std gauges? And im guessing they tried the same gauges on another car to make sure it wasnt reading 92psi...seriously what are the chances of three gauges all stuffing up at the same time?

There isnt some highly unlikely piece of shit or something that is blocking the gallery to the oil pressure sender feed and causing whatever amount of flow to equal 92psi? Just thinking outside the usual square here especially since the basics have been checked.

i have had excessive oil pressure before on an SR20 (in a GTI-R). pulled off oil filter, poked finger around in there, problem went away. dont know if that will help, but it helped me!

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
