Hi Guys,

I just took my GTR for a drive around the block,My oil gauge drop when i give it some gas, Frist i thought mayb the gauge is playing up(Greddy oil pressure Gauge).

But now i think it's a more serious problem.

But on idle and driving normal it seems to be fine, But when u cane it it drops, What could this be some info would be Great.

Cheers.

Hmm, bit suss hey. My R32 GT-R also displays rather low oil pressure on the standard guage after some enthusiastic driving.

I think it has something to do with the lower viscosity of the oil after it gets really hot when driving hard. There will be less pressure because the oil flows easier.

Might also have something to do with the oil control issues in the RB26. poor oil return to the sump. Check this thread:

Other than that have some other guys post up their oil pressure readings and refer to the engine manual specs.

Its not my standard gauge it a greddy oil pressure, and its go's up normaly but ones the boost comes in hard, the pressure drops fast.

ive noticed the stock gauge to have a delay on it compared to a good aftermarket one.

but i would be a bit worried if the oil pressure drops when applying load. mine sits on about 2 bar for idle and always rises up on acceleration, normally up to 5 or 6 bar. (blitz electronic gauge)

does it blow smoke? probably best to get a compression and leak down test done.

I wouldn't have thought low compression would cause a drop of oil pressure like that.

Check your oil level immediately, if it's low it could be pumping excessive oil into the head at higher RPM.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT keep driving it if this is happening. It could cost you a motor.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
