Hi can some one help. I have a 1990 r32 gtr i have rebuilt engine with argo forgies argo billet rods and acl race bearings. Engine has been goin sweet untill last nite. standard but but had it checked before re assembly

Oil gauge has never read right been told is a common problem

Question do 32 gtr have an oil pressure light if yes mine must not be working?

Boosted to 16psi racing some1 end of race car making big knocking noise have had in diagnosed and yes it has done a big end.

Have not tested oil pressure on mechanical gauge.

So what would be th most likely cause of oil pressure loss in these cars.

What is the soloution to this problem?

What is easiest method of removing the sump. A dropping cross memeber or engine removal.

one more question if they do have oil pressure light does it come on when ignition is frist turned on.

the oil light should come on when you turn the ignition on before starting.

and the gtrs are common to have oil pressure problems. i blew my oil pump ( common to go ) and i had to remove the sump to do so.

and to remove the sump you have to take out the gearbox as bolts are inside which are hard to get. i took out motor and box.

and 16 psi is alot i heard to be running on standard turbos.

This is all true mate . Often the oil pressure sender will fail and read low pressure (very common as said and oil light is on guage unless bulb is shot) You still getting pressure afterward? I hate hearing this with fellow rb owners but its nearly a fact of life... if you rebuild it... replace the oil pump. and /or crank collar with early r32 engines. Oil light should come up during ignition start up. Easiest way to remove oil pump is remove engine...remove sump. You've probly heard it before but oil pressure is utmost important and i wouldn't touch a car fo any sort of maintenance if it was reading an abnormal oil pressure. I wouldn't even drive a car if i thought something was suss! All in all from what you've indicated as the cause a spun bearing requires a bottom end rebuild anyway. sorry to hear.

bad luck mate, that sux :( hope u can get it fixed without too many hassles..

can I just ask, as Im looking at possibilities of forging my own engine... what makes a recently rebuilt motor with stronger internals sh*t itself and not even reach 10,000kms? I thought they would last after being forgedt?

gl with it mate.

There's probably a lot of things that will make it go before you hit 10000k's.

Including, but not limited to:

Oil problems

bad assembly

shit getting into the engine while your rebuilding it (aka, metal flakes etc)

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
