Oil Light Went On And Oil Pressure Dropped(help)

[el_bichito]

i just had a query today i got my car from the panel beaters after a week. they just had to paint the rear bar as someone scratched it. when i got it back i noticed that the oil light come on. i put the oil in the car but the level was more than normal. the light came and went, when the oil light came on the pressure dropped suddenly , like it had a faulty sensor.

The car is a NISSAN SKYLINE R33............. later on in the day it didnt come on no more, and the engine was making a slight knocking sound, so i really got worried this just happened today. i called my regular guy in melbourne, in dandenong, who works on them, he said to stop and get the car towed home and bring it to him tommorow, as the engine could cease. i was really worried does anybody have any ideas as to what it could be. the oil light now stays on. and no pressure is been displayed. and a slight knocking sound can be heard, at idle...............any advice would be apreciated, as i was really worried about the engine. im gonna look through the manual to see if i get any ideas. i live in Dandenong North does anybody know anyone good to see regarding this close to home.
