I'm not sure if this has been asked before but I didn't get what i needed to know when i used the search..

my oil pressure goes to about 7kg when cold.. and when its warm it drops to about 4.. i know that is normal as it has always been like that..

now.. after i had an oil change .. motul 8100... while driving the oil would drop to 2.. and when i rev it goes to about 3 or 3.5 but on constant speed is 2 .. (usually 4) and at idle its about 1.5.

but when i turn off the engine and start it again... it goes back to normal.. as in .. idle at 2 , constant speed at 4.. n revving makes it goes to about 5-6..

what is wrong with it?? is it just the oil playing up or theres more to it?

i understand ... more load means more pressure ...

but mine sometimes idle at 1kg and at constant speed is around 2kg.. that is abit low... since I've driven this car for almost 3years now and it was never like this before. and when i turn off the engine .. and start again.. it goes back to idling at 3kg instantly.. and while driving at constant speed is about 4kg ..

Hey all, my R33, 96MDL does the same thing, when driving around town its like 3-4 and when idleing its newere between 2-1.5. I used cheaper oils before and have now gone to Mobil1 10-30.. Maybe try changing oil back to 15-50, Maybe its common in sum skylines, either dodge gauge or lazy oil pump, Plz let me know how you go as mine is the same. Cheers

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
