HEY GUYS,

Just went for alil drive in my R32 GTR and My greddy oil pressure Gauge When i give it boost it starts to go all the way down, I dont think it is my oil pressure that is going down, I think the Gauge is playing up,

Does any one know where i can go to get it checked out.(Thinking it might just be stuffed or a wire lose).

Only happen when you cane it? If that is the case I'd be a bit cautious if I was you. Don't make the mistake of shooting the messenger friend.

Cheers GW

If your sure its the gauge (and you'd wanna be, or your highly risking your motor driving it)

Then it'll be either the sender/sensor is dead, or the wire has come off.

Its on the driver side

Just took it around the block before and now iam starting to think its not the Gauge,

Itz more serious:( .

You just bought your GTR for cheap?

Normally all R32 oil presure sender are stuff, in your case you've got an aftermarket so best to take it easy for now. I'm pretty sure any Mechanics can just hook up a mechanical gauge to check it out otherwise Ray@RE knows his stuff.

What u mean i just bought my GTR cheap.

when the engine is warm check how much oil you have

does the guage drop to zero ? if not, what number?

the stock cluster has an idiot light for low oil pressure so this should come on if in fact the guage is correct and you hit say near 0 oil pressure. make sure your oil pressure warning light works - turn the car to ACC (but dont start it). look for a red oil tin can icon - it should be on. if you can see it - i would expect this light to come with true low pressure

dont realy let it drop to much i back of but it goes down to around 2.

Wouldnt it be beta to check the oil level when it is cold because then the oil just seating there or no, (But the oil level is almost full when it is cold).

no check the oil when the engine is at operating temp

use the dipstick and check the level of oil in the engine

ok if you dont see the warning light at post diag then it could be dead

so you could in fact have low oil pressure under load

when you say it drops - what rpm does it drop to 2 at?

      I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.

      Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.

      Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.

      hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
