Oil Pressure Problem

[4core]

Ok, Just this morning i noticed that my oil pressure guage was sitting a little lower than normal, i didnt think much of it but after my usual commute to work i stopped to grab a drink, when i started up again the oil pressure guage said there was F**k-all pressure....

Im not too certain as to what this means but im sure as hell hoping that i dont have a rooted bottom end..

Any help appreciated,

Thanks all

These things failing is a fairly common problem, but id still check your pressure out before you did any driving

Ive got everything crossed, i am hoping that it is the guage, as the engine didnt sound, act or feel any different.

Heres to hoping!

Thanks mate

Any other ideas???

ok i have a bit further info,

I drove the same way home and the oil pressure guage was showing at the 2 mark, and at idle was showing just under.

I did notice a little lack of response but i didnt push the car too hard either, i checked the oil when i got home and it is perfect gold colour and there is plenty in there.

The only thing that may have done this was the night before i took off the oil filler cap while the car was running which made the engine shudder a bit, but i was quick to put it back on realising that id upset the pressure....

Would that have done it? There is no death knock rattle or anything else?

As for the oil pressure, I've seen heaps of turbo nissan's that read next to zero pressure on the gauge ( mine included ). Almost every time, when the pressure is checked at the oil pressure switch, it's fine. Inside the Oil Pressure gauge is a red light which is on before starting. Should this come on while driving, you've got a problem

(FAT32)

Ok, not so worried now, mental note, do a better search, noob lesson learnt.

Cheers.
