hey fellas just been looking at my oil pressure gauge and it is sitting between 0-2 when im idling

this i assume is 1kg/cm2 of pressure which equals 14.2 psi of pressure

am i correct in saying this?

also i have read that sometimes the gauges/senders can go faulty and is better to get an aftermarket one etc etc but just curious to see

what is the normal psi idle range for a 33gtst? and also what it should go up to (mine goes up to about 4 on high revs but sits usually around 2.5-3 when driving normally

any info appreciated

ps; heres a conversion table that i used

hey man, sounds like your guage is working fine, mine sits at the exact same levels as yours when idling and driving. :sick:

Hey tek 1, yeah mine reads usually 2 or just under sometimes. due to the hot weather in sydney oil pressure went to the same as yours between 0 and 2. aslong as its not staying on 2 when your driving it and its not on zero then ur sweet. On idle only a small amount of pressure is needed but when driving yeah has to increase.

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
