Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

ive asked this question elsewhere, but to no avail. Need some advice from anyone running an RB20DET, and using an aftermarket oil pressure gauge.

finally got my oil pressure gauge in on the 31. Did an oil change while i was at it (naughty me, 2 practices on the same oil and she's black as hell). Admittedly i changed my grades of oil (as i had some sitting around from drift school) - gone from a 10w30 to a 20w50...........wouldnt have thought that would make THAT much difference tho

started it up, pressure started at 30psi..........after about 30sec i hear a warning beeper going...........look into the cabin and see the gauge at 2psi.........turned it off, checked under the car (no leaks etc, nothing wrong). Started it again (mind u, its running EXACTLY like it always has), back at 30psi, and after about 15sec the oil pressure is dropping off back to 2psi again

im confused. is my gauge knackered (its brand new), is my sender knackered? I know it couldnt be a true reading as for that low a pressure the thing wouldnt be turning over. There aint no death rattle, nothing like that. Wont get a "legal" chance to take her for a drive on the street till at least next Monday, so wont know how it behaves under load until then.

any advice/feedback is appreciated

fk i hate it when im the office scape goat.. i organise stuff... the ppl involved don't communicate, then i wear the fall out when the customer shows up and the sales tard turns around to me all like wtf where is the techo??

sales guys sh*t dont stink, and they have no honour...

techo's are delicate genius' needing everyone to tip-toe thru the tulips. and feign not understanding things if its 1/2 way laymans terms...

and both only pay attention to procedures when it suits them.

/rant over.

i feel better now

Better off turbo'ing it..

Voids the insurance exactly the same but at least you may get away with it as the cars are released with turbo if your ever pulled over. + then you can use it all the time. :(

Even still a ~100hp nos is bugger all; you'll still have a stock rb25det with a pfc sit side by side if not whoop yo ass. :D

150hp you may pull away but very slowly.

We don't have a track nos can be used at. ;) One day AIR will reopen for drags.

but why should i be like every one else who has a turbo'ed car? honestly what ever happened to uniqueness??? i dont want to be like every else.

and im sure if i ever take on a stock GTT i would be able to keep up i too have a power fc. i have many plans for my car, and none of them include a turbo.

and what about mallala?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
