My cold oil pressure is probably 130-140 cold at idle and takes about 15-20 minutes to get down to 80 psi but as soon as to rev it its 100 again and i have troube with it pushing oil out 

Know i have drilled the head oil drains out to  9.5 -10mm from the 8 thay are as it ses to do to match the gasked i have got a 1mm restrictor in the block one blocked of a 1.2 vvt external oil feed the oil hole in the back of the head 20mm going in to the turbo drain line that is 20mm stock rb25 cam covers with -8 breathers in to a open catch can under the car i have a n1 spline drive oil pump from spool imports a asr race sump think its a 8.5 liters if this helps iam just over it thanks sorry for not putting full info

Sorry for bumping an old thread

pet vl, did you find a cause for your high oil pressure? I have a similar setup in my 25/30 but with a 25det pump and on the dyno I am seeing 8.1bar of oil pressure through a run. Oil temp is 82. I am using 10w60 edge

I have three questions for this

Is the oil pump bone stock ie. original springs, no shims?

Are you relying on the OEM gauge in the dash for "accurate" pressure indication?

Have you tried a different grade of oil as per Bob's comment?

Have you tried a different grade of oil as per Bob's comment? not yet, i haven't touched the car since it came off the dyno.will look into a 5w30/10w30

Hi Dale,

please see my answers underlined.

Double check the input scaling of that sensor in the relevant ANV table, such that the ECU is correctly interpreting the voltage input.  If you had short term access to a known/good mechanical gauge it might make for good cross checking.

After that it would be well worth changing the oil grade, and do a back to back comparison for changes.

thanks Dale. the sensor is the same type that i have on my fuel pressure which from injector pulses is accurate for what we calculated the engine needed.

that is the plan at the moment, try a mechanical gauge, then different oil, then if that doesn't work the sump will have to come off and see if the bypass valve is the issue.

i see other people had issues with Edge 10w60 on their RB30's (cubes) so hopefully it turns out being as simple as the wrong oil

What happened in the end? @Looney_Head

Hi,

i ended up pulling the pump off and porting out the oil by-pass and going to a 5w/30 oil. that has fixed it. i now see 100~PSI peak

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
