Probably been covered before, but I'm interested to know....

What do your gauges sit at at cold start up? Then when normal temperature is reached what does it sit at? ie. idling in traffic?

Mine on cold startup sits just over 4 then when idling in traffic is just slightly over the 1st quarter on the gauge.

This could make an interesting little poll....

RB26DETT here:

Sits on 4 ish when cold. When it heats up it sits on 2 ish. If drive it hard, with some full throttle etc, it drops right down to 1 or below.

As the oil heats up the pressure should drop. Changes will vary between oils, a low viscosity at hot oil (ie: 5w/30 or 10w/40) will have a lower pressure than a higher viscosity at hot oil (ie: 5w/50 or 10w/60). The second number refers to the oils hot temp weight.

I have found that it reads different depending on the oil level, if I have over filled it a bit, it reads higher than normal until hot, if its a bit under it reads just a bit lower, when hot as well. it reads alot higher for the same amount of less does.

Anyone think mine is too high?

R32 GTR, freshly built, n1 oil pump

cold 8 bar,

warmed up 4

driving hard between 3-4

Oil - Mobil 1... forget viscosity of it...something like 10-50 or 5-50..

About the same as mine.

When its cold, its just under 8 bar tho.

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
