Definitely 0 when not running. Without the oil pump running there is no oil pressure.

Depending on age/condition of your motor and the viscosity of the oil you use, you could see anything up to 7/8 or so when cold, and 4 when warm. The 33 I drive practically every day sits on 4 when cruising on the highway, but my old car used to sit just above 2.

If you're worried, put a second oil pressure guage in to compare readings.

hi all, just wondering if this is normal. I just changed my oil last night but this morning i noticed it was all the way to the top when I first started it, it dropped as the oil heated and sat pretty normal. What is the real concern is that when i give it to it, it rises up past half way getting closer to the top. Im only new to the skyline seen been that i have only had it for 2 months. Is this normal?

Can anyone please confirm if it is normal for the oil pressure to rise as i rev harder...when i accelerate the pressure rises and when i push it harder, ie 4000+, it rises higher getting closer to 8. is this normal?

It should rise as the revs rise......

8 seems high though....

What viscosity oil did you use???

Just changed oil.

i use 5-30 and the gauge reads lower now. Needle sits about 4 when hot and running at revs

the dude at the shop wouldnt let me leave with the oil i wanted...he gave me 20-60...i thought this was wrong but he assured me it was correct. would this be throwing it high? im going to the drags tonight and dont want to blow a head gasket...

i think the oil for stock rb25det is 10-30 or 0-30, not sure if its the same for the non-turbo engines, i just got magnitec 10-30 for mine and its rises with revs and it still runs smoothly (though it doesnt rise up to 8).

Be a bit thick wehn the oil is cold.....

should be fine once warm though......

A 30 grade (hot) oil, ie X-30, is basically designed for the cooler conditions in Japan. Coming summer in Oz, I would think you could probably run a slightly heavier oil, like 10-40. Maybe 20-60 is getting a bit too thick.

gues i wasted $35...damn im going to buy some oil at lunch and go home to do the fastest oil change in history. Oh and when i sell it i can say i change the oil daily....engine care is what im passionate about....i even put in one of those engine tune up things....damn

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
