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.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
