Greetings all,

I was wondering whether R32 GT-R oil pressure gauges commonly show different values? Mine will go from 4 kg/cm2 down to almost no indicated pressure and back again in one short space of driving. I don't seem to be able to hear any rattling from the top half of the engine while it's supposedly got no pressure (according to the gauge)

I'm kind of hoping that it's not the oil pump on it's way out, and it's just the gauge on the blink!

Has anyone else had this issue before?

If you had searched, you would have discovered that the sender units are a bit suspect.

If you are concerned about a total loss of oil pressure, there is also a "oh sh!t" warning light when you actually have no pressure.

Hey thanks Mr elk, that calms the nerves a bit. I did a search but maybe I put the wrong key words in, because it helped me nowt.

I wanted to make sure it wasn't a sign of the pump failing, because I'm aware of these being 'suspect' also...

Yep, my oil pump blew and I thought it was just a faulty gauage sender. An expensive lesson learnt indeed. If I were to see any variations with my gauge again I will take it straight to my mech. Get the sender sorted out straight away or install an external guage completely. Try not to take it too lightly because you never know....

I'll give the sender a clean asap, at least I'll hopefully know whether it's this part playing up. Might be a good idea to install an aftermarket pressure gauge for peace of mind. A blown engine due to oil pump failure would bring a tear to my eye...

Thanks for your input guys ;)

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
