hi everyone

I have been reading the posts about oil pressure. I have a r32 gts4 and it has only got 2kg/cm3 of oil pressure when it is cold and stays the same when I rev it. checked this with a mechanical gauge. is it possible to be anything else other than the oil pump.

thanks locky

i have exactly same thing. but havent checked with mechanical. going off stock guage

car is r32 gtr

firstly don't worry too much about cold readings. do the tests when the oil is over 80 degrees. for info, a healthy 32 GTR will be just above 2kg at idle and should be around 6kg when cruising at 3000rpm.

i had a problem with my car but it wasnt the exact symptons to what you are having and it ended up being a broken oil pressure release valve in the collar. hope that helps.

where's that?

I have the exact same problem as well, am working on it at the moment but freekin everything here is closed so i can't get the fitting i need. Mine goes up to 4 on startup then hovers around 2 while driving, regardless of rpm, engine runs fine though no probs, i'm hoping when i hook up an external gauge it'll read properley then can be narrowed down to either dash gauge or sender.....

Hi Beer Baron, what would be the reading on a healthy R33 Gtst?

it's very similar. between 1 and 2 and idle and between 4-6 at 3000rpm cruising. all at operating temp of course. in my experience the stock gauge has been fairly accurate, just very slow reacting. my defi BF moves around as fast as a tacho! the stock one just slowly creeps around.

cheers guys have decided to put a new motor in as compression all over the place and turbo is on its way out. the oil pressure still doesn't move above 2 at any rpm

hey my r34 non turbo sits at 6-7 at cold start and in normal running conditions its sitrs between 4-5..and wen the revs goes higher it hits 7max..is that normal

Ok just for you guys info. Got an external gauge hooked up today and just tested the pressure staticly neutral revving it. got the following readings:

At start approx 50psi then drops down to 22-26 at idle.

2000rpm - 43psi

3000rpm - 60psi

4000rpm - 71psi

5000-8000psi - between 70-80psi

If you want kg/cm3 divide by 14.2

Now I been told you want approx 10psi per 1000rpm and thats something to aim for with any engine of any age? now i am getting more like 20psi per 1000rpm dunno if this is just because it's under no load or its a turbo engine or what. Any ideas anyone. So guess i will be off to the nissan dealer tomorrow to try and get a new pressure sender and maybe a dash gauge if that doesn't work.

Also just for the info the oil pressure relief valve on an RB26 and I am assuming all Rb engines is on the bottom of the oil pump and its a sump of job to get to....

Yours does seem pretty high!

Especially as you rev higher, Oil pressure isn't supposed to climb that high when reving a car, that's what the relief valve controls.

I would definitely start checking it out. You might start popping seals etc.

lol it's not high dude, infact it's pretty spot on.....5.6kg/cm3 at 8000rpm. it just seems to climb fast and then level of, I suppose thats not such a bad thing really. although it's an n1 pump so it does flow more. Will be interesting to see if it comes up with similar figures under load.

Anybody know when the relief valve opens?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
