recently after picking up the missus i noticed my oil light was on, naturally i freaked out pulled over and turned the car off. when i started it again the warning didnt go away it was still there but dim. no idea whats going on since then ive changed my oil everyday to no avail the lights still dim and from what i can tell i have good oil pressure and its filled correctly. any help will be appreciated

Cheers Jason

Shitty sensor. As I've read many times on here in either the Forced Induction Performance forum or General Maintenance, the stock sensor/gauge is shitty. If you KNOW you have pressure, and that your oil isn't low, invest in an aftermarket gauge and sensor.

I'm not going to attempt to diagnose your cars issue (if there is one at all), but for reference, I have recently hooked up an aftermarket oil pressure gauge into my car (also a S2 R33), and its pretty clear now that the stock gauge doesn't really have a clue whats actually going on. Specifically, my stock gauge only seems accurate +-2BAR (ie. inaccurate), and is very, very unresponsive.

my stock gauge seems to be working fine how ever i do have an autometer gauge which i havent installed yet. its it hard or expensive to replace the sensor?

[Bubbafaguchi]

to add its the lights thats got me worried its sorta on but not kinda hard to explain, are you sure its a sensor thing?

bit the bullet and finally connected my autometer prolite comp oil pressure gauge, on idle my car floats at 40-50 psi and goes all the way to 90 psi under load. i have a crazy feeling nothing bads happened but the senders def gone... may have something to do with flushing my radiator the other day... water went everywhere anywho im still not sure and im taking to to japspec tomoz to get it sorted cheers for the replys

What revs are you seeing 90psi at? shouldnt get that high until around 5-6k rpm, if you are seeing that sort of pressue at around 3000 you may have ring seal issue or the PCV breathers might be blocked, dont wanna scare you by saying that, but something to look out for.

cheers for the head up, i am seeing that PSI at 5-6k rpm so im assuming my oil pump is healthy. just got it back from japspec sensor got wet and short circuited but i also got my nismo twin plate put in... never experienced anything like it hahaha
