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?

    • Hi All,    I have my BW EFR 8474 with a T4 split 1.05 rear housing. Rear housing is ceramic coated and drilled and tapped for EMAP take off.  Supported 520awkw at 35psi through the 8HP with ~5k rpm spare on the BW 127k limit. Ran a 9.98.    Turbo is one of the first that was released but only done ~3k kms.    Asking $2800 happy to negotiate. Only selling to upgrade.   Located Gladstone QLD happy to ship. 
    • Hi is the Toshiba sceeen still available?
    • Just wondering how come the hood was grinded down? 
    • I have no hard data to report, but I have to say, having driven it to work and back all week, mostly on wet roads (and therefore mostly not able to contemplate anything too outrageous anywhere)..... it is real good. I turned the boost controller on, with duty cycle set to 10% (which may not be enough to actually increase the boost), and the start boost set to 15 psi. That should keep the gate unpressurised until at least 15 psi. And rolling at 80 in 5th, which is 2050 rpm, going to WOT sees the MAP go +ve very quickly and it has >5 psi by the time it hits 90 km/h. That's still <2.5k rpm, so I think it's actually doing really well. (I edited this from a previous version where I stated 80km/h was <2000, but that was a false memory. If I am rolling at ~1700 in 5th and floor it, it will start making boost before it goes over 2k - which is a separate "experiment" leading to the same conclusion. Which is that the boost threshold is actually quite low. It's not fast there, obviously, but it certainly makes progress towards going fast, which is not what it's been like for a long while!!) Because of all the not-quite-ideal things that have been in place since the turbo first went on, it felt laggy. It's actually not. The response appears to be as good as you could hope for with a highflow.
    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
