hey everyone, i need some advise.

i would just like to know if it is normal for the oil pressure guage to fluxuate whilst driving......

if i am idling it sits n about 1kg/cm squared

if i am reving a littly it sits on 2kg/cm squared

if i am driving quite hard it sits on 4kg/cm squared.

but i am a bit worried, when i look down and its on zero sometimes.. i checked my oil, its fine.. what could it be. just a poor guage? or is there a problem it could have?

one other thing... i am getting a major car service tomorrow.. and i was wondering if there was anything i should recommend or ask him to do. like, is there any particular motor oils that you think is good for my car or just anything that i could ask for that is a little better quality for any part of the service...... let me know please..

any suggestions are appreciated. thanks

maybe get them to check your oil pressure with a mechanical guage. they will temporarily remove your sender and put their guage in and check it that way..

ahhhh yeah good idea, thanks...... =]

no wrries the guy is looking at it today so ill go from there and if it is the sender ill prolly get a new guage anyways... would the gtr middle console part with the guages fit in my gtst?

Don't be too fussed about it.

On start up its quite high almost up to 8 on a cold day.

The readings you have mentioned is pretty much normal.

As Cronic has said, just get an aftermarket one just to be sure.

hey all. got my service done. my air flow metre was goOne and he replaced that and now it doesnt misfire at all. yayz.

all up this was the reciept

carry out service and check over---------------$40.00

environment levy------------------------------$5.00

diagnose faulty air flow meter-repair wire plug---$120.00

Labour----------------------------------------$80.00

    • 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.
