hey guys, this JUST happenned today when i was driving back home from work. the car felt really heavy, ruff, when in gear. also noticed that the oil pressure bar was just one bar away from 8kg/cm3. i never really take not of the oil pressure, but i do know that the ideal 4kg/cm3. is that correct. is this a potential problem? any ideas whats goin on?

Not sure, but I'd say a big end is on the way out, you have an oil blockage, probably at the big end journals, your motor is in dire need of a rebuild. If you keep driving it you will kill it big time.

But I'd get a second opinion, bl##dy hard to diagnose over the web........

If it was cold and when you first started it up, c'mon, oil pressure will go to 8 and your car will be a bit rough until it warms up. If its happening when its warm, thats a different story.

thats what i thought at first.. but the oil pressure keeps going up to the marking below 8 even when the engine has been running for a while. goin to xspeed on friday to get it chkd out..

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
