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.

    • This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking 
    • Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?
    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
