R33 Oil Pressure Gauge

[sumguy]

Just wondering, in an r33, the oil pressure gauge on the far right in the dash, it reads 0/4/8 (kg/cm2) Is it a bad thing if it reaches near the 8th line? Cos mine comes close to it when i rev up the engine and when i take my foot off the accelerator, it drops back to the middle on 4.

hay mate i was talking to 1 of my mates whos a mechanic and he said if its that high its not too good it just usually means u have too much oil in your sump causing too much oil pressure. if its closer to 0 it means u dont have enough oil.

what do you mean by revving it up...are you only giving it a quick stab or are you holding it at a higher rev for a little bit ?? also how far are you reving it ??

Having a higher oil pressure isn't too bad, like said above there could be too much oil in the system...you'd be alot more concerned about it not moving when reving...or even dropping
