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.... :P

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

Any help appreciated,

Thanks all

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.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
