yes that is oil pressure, not compression. it has to do with how thick the oil is at different temps. however my 33 used to have higher oil pressure when cold than hot if i remember correctly. may be that your oil pump is dodgy, or your gauge is.

It should be higher when cold :rant:

ok, all good and well till i just got back from a short drive, its under 1 now, which is odd because this morning it was at 2 and 4 :S is my engine about todrop out? bearing in mind its a fairly hot day, does that effect pressure?

oil pressuere will raise under acceleration or when the engine is idling high (like on start up) i think when idling when warm 33s will sit on about 4 and higher when cold. sounds like u have a flow problem.

you should get this checked out asap low oil preasure is a quick way to make your motor go boom!

Stock oil pressure senders on the RB's are notorious for giving incorrect readings, so i wouldnt worry unless the red light comes on :happy: To play it safe you should connect a master gauge to double check. A workshop can do this for you without much trouble.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
