Hi guys,

I did search on this and came up empty... I always seem to have that result though.

If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated :

Today drove the car about 20 k's to a friends house, half way there I noticed my oil temperature was really high, all other vitals are fine engine temp, oil pressure and so on, the car is running completely stock and has been running with out problems.

Oil levels are good too, I have teh stock setup with the water to oil cooler off the block no seperate radiator out the front but that has never been a problem, also this was before it got really hot today, just nice and early.

Has anyone seen this before?

Cheers,

H

i dont know about your car but my r33 has oil temp indicator on the dash cluster aswell as my own oil temp that i installed seperate. Did you notice the dash cluster go up aswell??? most likely its the temp gauge mistake, or were you drifting it to your mates place for 20km lol

Well my gauges are all in the center of my dash, factory gtr ones. So no aditional guages but mine has never read wrong before. Also was only costing along behind traffic so I wasn't even giving it a hard time.

So I still have no idea but I don't want to even drive it home tip I have some theories :sick:

Any other ideas?

mate, I have just had the same thing happen only with an Apexi oil temp running through an Apexi controller, I was driving along and all of a sudden after less than 5 minutes (so probably impossible for oil to get that high) the Apexi is reading 130 degrees, the warn light is buzzing away but the dash oil temp is not even reading yet (as is normally the case it takes about 10 minutes to get to temp).

All other temps pressures etc are fine.

Turned out to be a dodgy earth on the sensor. Probably just that on yours but pays to get it checked out asap. At 140 degrees if you stopped and took off the oil filler cap, she's be smoking

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
