Hey guys. i bought my R34 gt about 3 months ago. Ive done about 4,000 km's and I haven't touched the oil yet. The oil pressure gauge goes up to 8 kg/cm (or whatever it is), before the car gets warm.

I have cheaked the oil level, and its fine.

can anyone please help me.

This is normal - when the oil is cold and thicker you have much more oil pressure and then as the oil heats up it becomes thinner and the pressure level drops.

I normally wait until the oil pressure starts to drop back to the normal level before I drive away or if I do drive I take it easy until the pressure comes down to the normal level.

Also, don't rely on the stock gauge, its a piece of shit. Inaccurate and unreliable.
