Just a bit of a quick one, wat oil pressure should a stockish r33 be running- 10w 40 turbolight.

Factory specs (using 7.5w-30) are idle-1

2000rpm-3.5

6000-5.6

I would say my car (Warm temp, operating!!)

idle 2-3ish (closer to 3 i would say )

2000rpm-4ish

6000-6ish

Would an oil flush with the next oil change help?? Motor is generally really well looked after, and runs really healthy!

i think that idle could be a bit lower though- personal i think that it should be around the first line. I mean not to over worried though cause i understand that the guage could be slightly out too, but i always do an oil change every 5k doesn't burn much oil at all! :D

yer sweet as i ran into it earlier today- there is a post here about how much oil in an r33 , and its a link lol

Yer i think that is factory 7.5w-30, so there is a slight pressure increase plus the aging of the motor (haven't seen a car idle on 1 before lol) and this is weather dependent- japs don't have the heat!

As well as the accuracy of the actual guage itself!

^^Either that or...

wats peoples opinion on oil flushes? personally i'm against them!

You mean doing an Engine Flush, to get rid of any oil that has sludged up?

If so, I would go easy on it.

Some engine flush liquid / solutions can be quite abrasive so I do a light flush if needed.

Speak to you mechanic to see which one is not so harsh.

Oil flush additives aren't worth it, I just dump the oil when it's been up to operating temperature (wear protective gloves etc to protect your hands) and jack up the passenger side to help.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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.
