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.

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
