they are shit. get a proper aftermarket one and you'll be astounded at how fast and by how much pressure changes with RPM. the stock gauges are purposely dampened in their response as nissan (and other companies) thought wildly moving gauges would alarm the general car driving public and people would think there was something seriously wrong with their oil pressure. so what you get is a very slow moving gauge that is no where close to being accurate at any given moment.

I'm in the market for a aftermarket oil pressure gauge, should i look for one with a mechanical sender or a electric sender? and is there any cheap gauges that will do the job (and not be flashy expensive like Defi)

electric sender for sure. mechanical is no good, that means having fluid in the cabin and if a line or coupling splits or the gauge fails you'll get a nice spray of 110degree oil in the cabin!

i have to be honest I run defi's in 2 of my cars now and whilst they are expensive I reckon they're worth every penny. but for cheaper options you can probably pick up a used trust guage. they don't require a main controller (each gauge has it's own) and they have peak hold and warning function which is important for a oil pres guage, you want one that tells you when pressure drops low. probably looking at under $150 for something decent. also defi now make gauges that don't need controllers, sort of a budget entry level defi gauge, I'm sure they are quite good too.

My R32 GTR pressure gauge doesn't seem to work at all, along with the front wheel torque thing, I am assuming just because of age however something else might be broken.

What is the best way to proceed with getting it diagnosed, then finding a replacement etc? I don't really care about having a bunch of clusters, so just something in the stock position would be fine.

Anyone know where I could find a 3 Guage Holder to replace the stock one in a BNR32?

As everyone is saying in this thread it seems the factory ones are definately unreliable and to get aftermarket for more accurate reading's.

just follow the wires up from the sender and check the connections :)

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
