R32 Gtr Oil Pressure? Low Balling....

[allthewaytotheskyline]

my nissan skylines oil pressure is extremely low...during high rpm its only at the 1st quarter or just over a quarter dash mark on the gauge...

is my engine oil pump about to shit its self.......

any1 have the same issue...where does your rb26 oil pressure sit on during idle and during higher rpm.....

GTR factory oil pressure gauges are very slow to react and quite often are faulty or fail all together. before you start worrying too much buy or borrow a proper aftermarket oil pressure gauge and double check it. sadly though 32 GTR oil pumps often fail too in a number of ways, a common one is the screws in the backing plate coming loose which will give low oil pressure and eventually nothing at all. bottom line is don't get too stressed but definitely get it checked out to find out what's going on. best case faulty gauge. worst case faulty engine.

thanks for the speedy reply...how would i be able to check if the engine is no good...if it is the engine what would needed to be done as so it can be fixed???

ill check the screw in the back plating....

u want to check the screws? how are u going to achieve that...

its inside the motor.. thats a motor out job.. check ur pressures first with an oil pressure gauge from a workshop.

mine did the same showing almost no pressure.. it was just teh sender unit. it was rooted.

Mine did the same and for a few days I figured its just the seder unit, next thing i know it spun a bearing.... turned out the sender unit was fine...

Check it now!!!

damn straight! take it to a mechanic to check the pressure - they can confirm if it is gauge or motor in trouble. 90% of the time it is the sender, but if you are in the 10% with bnr#@ it gets more expensive to fix the longer the car runs......
