Hi Guys,

I just put the stock oil pressure sender back on because my Greddy one broke. So now iam use the stock gauge on the cluster, When i hit boost it use to jump stright up to 8 kg/cm2, Now

it goes up slower and reaches just under 7 kg/cm2. Or is it fine and the stock gauge is just reading not as accriate.

Any feed back would be great. THANKS.

The stock gauges are not very good. They are much slower to react and are not very accurate. I recently did the reverse. My stock sensor was hardly reading at all at idle and often would drop to zero. Oil light would come on as well. I checked and there was plenty of oil and it was still getting to the head even though gauge was showing zero pressure. Then it would jump straight up to 2kg/cm. Would often fluctuate between 0 and 2. It only happened when engine was hot. It was reading normally at all other rpm ranges and temperatures so I wasn't too concerned.

I put an HKS mech gauge on and it was much faster to react and never dropped to zero..Concluded that the stock sensor was buggered.

Hope this helps

Workshop manual states that when hot for an RB25DET you should achive the following:

Idle: 1.1 kg/cm2

2000rpm 3.5 kg/cm2

6000rpm 5.6 kg/cm2

Odly, the RB26DETT should be higher at idle, and lower at revs (slightly)

Refer to attachment I have uploaded for relevant Oil pressure readings.

Your guage probably isn't accurate. Wouldn't rule out other possibilites though. Did it have normal readings with the Greddy sender?

Yea with the greddy it was normal and it would go all the way up to 8. Then it broke.

I heard that the stock gauges are not the best, I need to go and get another afther market one asp.

Ill most likely get my car dyno tuned in the next couple of weeks and they be able to tell me if my oil pressure correct.

Wow, well mine definitely sits at alot higher then 1.1kg/cm2 at idle. I know not all idles will be the same, but its always on 2. Nearly double seems a big gap for a faulty sender. Mines a NEO, which could change things

yeah my neo reads pretty high aswell, at idle once warm it will sit right on 4, which is almost double anyother r33 i have seen. I havent put a mechanical gauge on it yet, but those stock gauges seem to lie a fair bit

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
