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.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
