hmmmm.....this is very helpful... :)

well,....the reason he is a moron is as follows....

in the uk we have 3 lanes

1st lane is for slow moving vehicles ie lorries, cars towing trailers/caravans

2nd lane is for over taking said vehicles.

3rd lane is only used if absolutely needed

he was in 2nd lane, and driving slower than the minimum speed limit, and there was no vehicles in the "slow lane"

hence,...he was a moron....

so, now i ve answered your question, maybe you can answer mine....

carl

oil pump could be gone or on its way out but usually they dont go for any reason

sorry cant help u out much

does the oil pressure rise when u slowly rev the engine?

what does it sit at idle? and when going?>

usually from what ive heard the gauge isnt very accurate but the oil pressure light is so if that come on than theres a problem

oil pressure release valve in the collar.

in the collar????

from what i can see from the technical diagrams ive looked at, this magical collar i keep hearing so much about, is an "add on" for the gtr32 crank....and if this is what you mean, it doesnt have a pressure spring

i havent had chance to look at it yet, but the chances are the oil pump has sheared the outer gear teeth, and pump has stopped,..

hence absolutely no oil pressure at all...

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
