Oil pressure will be more stable or prone to fluctuation depending on viscosity and how old/new the oil is. What matters is that you have pressure in the first place. ~4 when driving is normal; don't worry too much about it when you are idling.

That said... I noticed last night on the way home that my Oil Pressure is sitting on 1kg/cm2 after idling for a while at the traffic lights, it comes back up to near 4 when driving, 2-3 when cruising at 2000rpm.

And it was like that again this morning.

Is this too low? I'm not getting any warning lights, will check my level at lunchtime :/

Edit: Pic for reference

I put a defi oil pressure guage in to be 110% sure.

If it wasn't for the gauge dropping on boost and setting the warning alarm off I wouldn't have known my oil was low in the first place as standard cluster was showing as normal even with a new nismo cluster.. It doesn't move anywhere near as fast as an aftermarket oil pressure gauge (atleast which I have seen).

Pics of the adjustable arms? About to cut sick on my suspension, but want to keep it looking kinda stock from the rear so don't want anything bright blue etc...

    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
