Hi guys, have attached pic of oil pressure in 34 gtr on idle.

Seeking confirmation as to whether this is normal or a bit low? Oil change recently done, 10w40 and enough in there.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Quick post to confirm in case your worrying and need to know now.

Yes seems a bit low to me (I own an R32 GTR)

After warmed up mine sits just fractionally off the 4 at idle

You've said the oil level is at the top marker on the dipstick. ok, dId you check that yesterday, or just after refilling ?

I use motul 6100 which is 15w/50.

Have to wait now until the mech heads wake up to assist with possible causes. :(

I've attached a screen shot of the R32 RB26DETT manual which states that 1.5 kg/cm² (about 21 psi) at idle on a warm engine is spot on.

4 kg/cm² is nearly 60 psi which is very high for a warm engine at idle (might be a gauge or sender issue).

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
