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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
