Hi, I've had abit of a problem with my oil pressure reading being very wrong sometimes.

Its a nismo dash i didnt think i would have a pronlem with gauge but it seems like it is..Any solutions?? Is it a sensor issue or something.cheers

some times it reads as low as 15 psi pressure even less sometimes, but then when stop and i reboot the car it goes back to normal readings which is about 35=40psi

i think it has to do with some sort of oil pressure sensor maybe, cause theres no way the car would be still alive after something that dramaitc and constant. I know from experience when a gtr lets go..

God_speed (my son) and I once had R33 GTRs and I forget now which one had an oil pressure gauge that was reading low.

It was diagnosed by respected RB technician Alistair at Powerplay (now defunct).

He did say that it wasn't uncommon in the R33 GTR, but I forget whether he said that it was the sensor or the gauge itself. I suspect it's the sensor but I'll ask God_speed tonight.

Standard guage on my r33 gtst is rubbish. I removed sensor and use a autometer one with 32psi pro-lite.

Standard one seemed to be up normal in daytime but with lights on it read almost nothing...

Although it's a Nismo dash I'd hazard that all sensors are left as per standard.

The oil pressure sender is well known for erratic behaviour, especially with the age of these cars.

Nowhere near as easy to replace as on a GTSt that's for sure.

Can be readily sourced from Kudos on this forum.

Not a cheap part though which is why most owners opt for a stand alone aftermarket gauge, similar cost.

an after market gauge will just be more accurate. And might not fix your problem, especially if nothing is wrong with your gauge and you actually have an oil pressure problem.

Can you explain how your car is running "sluggish"?

If the oil pressure that is showing on my gauge then my motor would be dead long time ago. This only happens every now n again but it's sticking around longer this time, it was running fine for awhile gave oil change spark plugs and cleaned the afms was running mint but all of a sudden it decides to run shit loss of power and go kind of :/

ok so just replace is. haha another thing i just took car for a drive before my fuel gauge before was half tank and after the busrt it was nothing is there something wrong with the cluster unit its a nismo.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
