NO OIL PRESSURE

Hey guys new to the skyline scene always wanted one. I brought a 1994 r33 skyline gtst 3 weeks ago. I drove it home fine around 100kms away from home. I parked it in my driveway which is steep arse down nose up. Started the car to take it for a rwc and it ran okay but not the best. Got home and parked it nose down the driveway. Now the car has no oil pressure on the gauge and the lifters sound like they want to jump out of yhe engine. Checked inside the oil filler cap and looks like no oil getting to the top of the motor. Any ideas guys ? Im thinking oil pump but as i said new to skylines and not 100% sure. Any ideas would be useful guys.

Don't always trust the oil pressure gage. At best it gives an indication. Sometimes the gage or the oil pressure sender just fails.

Obviously don't drive it until diagnosed correctly. Get another gauge on it and test it and go from there.

Yes it could be the oil pump, or it could be something else.

If your still talking to the previous owner it wouldn't hurt to ask the history.

Sounds like you may have been duded. Highly likely the previous owner has had it checked out and may know the issue (and cost to fix).

Get a good mechanic to go over it now.

Obviously would have been best to do this ^ before parting with your hard earned!

Thanks mate. Seen this motor working perfect b4 pulled out so I know its a good one. Bigger job than expected though motor replacement. I can have a commodore motor out and back in 2 hours lol. This has been nearly a month to get this far. Just wanna make sure its done right. Plus mechanics wanted $3500 to replace the motor with me buying a motor to go in.

About $1.5k-$2k too much^

Take your time and ask questions on SAU if you get stuck.

It really peeves me how others can sell a lemon.

Yeah mate i did no oil pressure at all. No oil in the top end of the motor looks clean like its just been degreased and dry even after motor running for 30 secs to min max( didnt wanna run it longer motor sounded like it was gonna fall apart ).

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
