My Car was originally a N/A Series 2 R34 (auto)

I was curious if anyone knew what temperature the warning lights for AT Oil Temp, and Engine Oil Temp actually illuminate at? I can't seem to find this information anywhere, even in the workshop manual. The workshop manual does mention the light comes on but only when the sensor detects variables which are everything except actual temperature.

Just curious before I bought gauges (which I will anyway) to see whether these can be relied on as actual warning lights, in a "It is time to immediately back off" kind of warning.

My google fu is clearly feeble.

I understand this, my car actually has it labelled as "AT Oil Temp" (thats the actual text of the lamp that lights up)

I also have an oil idiot light, as well as an oil pressure guage in the standard cluster with a LED on it from factory.. which lights up when oil pressure = 0 or extremly low - But there's also another one with the typical oil icon which doesnt appear when the pressure LED is on, but does appear when you turn the car on prior to starting it, etc.

Was mainly looking at the AT Oil Temp one if anyone knew, as the oil pressure gauge does a laymans job of telling me if the oil is hot or not just by going on how much pressure is there when it warms up... (20w-60 oil) and well water temp has the little needle which doesn't move until something is seriously wrong. Not overly worried about oil overheating as everything I've read seems to indicate oil and coolant tend to go into the 'too high' region at the same time.

I'd be getting proper gauges before any kind of track day, but curious through spirited driving through the hills what the AT oil temp actually is, because cooking a laptop to the transmission ECU to read it is rather cumbersome, and the AT Temp is apparently the first thing to get worried about. Was wondering mainly if the light comes on at 80C where it isn't 'that bad' a problem or whether it comes on at 150C or something in which case it's too late.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
