Just wondering what oil pressure a R32 GTR will run at idle and revs when hot and cold. Also what eng oil temp do they usually run. I thinnk my oil pressure is a little low and the oil temp seems to be alot higher than it usually has been. oil temp is up around the 75 to 80 deg even on cool nights. It has a big oil cooler on it. The oil pressure is below 4 kg/cm3 at idle when cold and is back to near nothing when hot. I havn't checked it with a mechanical gauge yet but will be maybe this week end.

I just started a brand new engine (with forged internals etc), and at idle when cold the oil pressure is about 6.5kg/cm3, and drops to just under 4 when hot. Ive only idled it around the local street because its untuned though. The oil temp doesnt go above 80 degrees when hot, with a large oil cooler. Both gauges are greddy expensive ones.

dont listen to the ppl tellin u to change ur oil. its not ur oil. its the sender unit.

mine also did the same.. i shit myself real bad when i first noticed it.. it was @ 0 @ idle.. but after a few days i noticed that even when its on 0.. the light doesnt come on.. u know why??

because they run 2 seperate systems. 1 fails.. the other doesnt. put an aftermarket gauge on it and ull see the difference :cool:

Hey All, I think I need some similar advice to this post.

I just bought a GTR in QLD that I have driven back to Melbourne over the last few days. I never really paid any attention to the oil pressure to begin with, but noticed today it was on zero - but the car seemed to be performing fine - great even! it did over heat on me yesterday somewhere in central NSW but it seemed fine again after a rest. I have noticed it seems to be running hot, & im not sure why.

When boarding the boat we were in the waiting line with a lot of idle, stop start etc with the engine getting rather warm. The oil pressure light then came on, with it barely idling, coughing & spluttering. I turned it off for a few minutes, then it was fine again & didn't miss a beat getting onto the boat.

I write this now sitting in the bar with a beer, freaking out! im hoping the oil pressure issue is related to the over heating, & that is hopefully something simple like the thermostat?

The motor has been rebuilt & I have all the receipts for it, I am living in hope its not the motor...

what should I be checking?

Im thinking if oil pressure light came on while it was spluttering might be that it almost stalled itself and as such dropped oil pressure enough to set off the light, but probably kicked itself back to life.

Have you checked the dipstick? Overheating could be a lot of things and it will need to be narrowed down.

    • With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
