Hey,

Have been driving my 26/30 for nearly a year now, and there have never been any oil issues.

Just noticed this morning that even after warm up and the 30k drive to work, the pressure wont drop below 7kg/cm2. Usually starts up at 8 and then after warmed up drops down to 3-4 kg/cm2.

This engine has never been flogegd (redline set at 6800rpm), and is driving on a comfortable 10PSI. Car makes about 310 RWKW on 10PSI.

Just wondering if the oil pressure is genuinely high, will this cause any problems??

I have checked oil, plenty in sump.

negligible blow by from rocker covers. Also no excess in cam covers

Water temp is fine, and oil temps dont seem to be elevated when i check.

If this is an issue, where shold i be looking to fix it up.

Thanks in advance guys

What pump are you running?

The only real issue that could arise is your turbo seals if you havent restricted oil flow to it. If thats all good then dont worry, as the relief valve is inside the engine and too hard to get too to try and adjust. If that is even a problem, could just be your standard ops sender as stated above.

If you really want to be sure, tee in a oil pressure gauge and find out.

Running an N1 , and a GT3582, so when we built the engine, the appropriate restrictor was fitted to the oil feed.

This is a new problem, over the last week - however given taht i dont seem to be consuming any oil, i figure i may just wait until I rebuild the car in 6 months to race.

Thanks for teh help

high oil pressure is your friend - mine does exactly the same & recommended by my tuner & many others that know their stuff!

how else would you expect the oil to enter high tolerance areas such as bearings :ermm:

310rwkw @ 10 psi doesnt really add up

Sorry miss-typed should be 15PSI - Dyno graphs are posted in Hybrid section.

The whole point of the question was - given that my oil pressure has previously sat at 4-6 kg/cm2, was the fact that it is now at 7-8kg/cm2 indicative of a problem, or a faulty OPS.

Popular opinion is taht its not an issue and just a shot OPS.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
