Hey

I was driving my R32 GTR and I got held up in some trafic, I was idling at 1k and noticed my oil presure gauge sitting on 0. I thought to myself "FU*K", wtf is going on. When I slowly started to move it would slowly climb up, but the back to 0 when I came to a stop. When we started to move again and we got going, the gauge would sit normal, about 2. When I came to a stop again the gauge went to about 1 and stayed there this time. When I got home it was reading normal still, I got out of the car and looked under, I found no oil on the ground.

Can anyone tell me WTF this is or whats making this happen?

Thanks

did you have any trouble accellerating? revs were fluctuating and dropping at all?

i had a similar problem with my engine, turned out the radiator had ran dry of water (the cap was faulty), so check your radiator and fill her up if she's dry.

this might not be the case, but have a check anyhoo

Hey

Radiator is full

My revs are fine when driving but when I slow down they go to 0 and back to 1, sometimes it stalls, I asked my tunner and he said its something to do with my BOVs. But I havent asked my tunner about this as he is closed, so im trying to get my answer on SAU.

i would get mechanical oil pressure guage, and check it against that, they are only about 50 bux from supercrap or something....im not saying put a cheap ass guage in your gt-r im saying use it to see if yours is out, or your oil pump is sha99ed.....if at all possible have them hooked up at the same time to see any discrepancies(sp?) in readout.

Idle prob:

Have you had your throttle body off at all? ever?

Also could be ilde circuit faulty making revs jump around.

Or the speedo? :headspin:

I experience the same thing in my 32 GTS-t... it will sit REALLY low (not quite on 0) on the oil pressure guage, and then climb to slightly above 1/4 when driving around... i don't think i've ever see it go over 3/8th (between 1/4 and 1/2) on the guage... i'm hoping its just a faulty sender, not a shagged pump or something

Dont trust the reading of the stock oil pressure gauge.

I had a similiar prob when i had my idle issues with my sard 550cc injectors. Everytime the car would go into spastic idle and go back to normal idle the oil pressure gauge used to just go to 0 and sit there and sit there for ages till i turned the car off and on again, but the oil pressure was normal while the gauge said 0 pressure everytime.

The stock gauge is also said to be very slow reacting to a proper electronic oil pressue gauge.

Hey

I restarted the car later that night when it was just warm, and let it idle for 10-15min or so and the oil gauge sat on 2. When it was on 0 it would slowly climb when i reved it and moved a bit but then it droped back to 0, after the traffic cleared and I got going it was ok, when I came to a stop again it sat on 1 and didnt go to 0 again.

I didnt hear and werid sounds from the engine or anything.

My Revs are a diff matter I think, car idles at 1k and drives normal etc, when I slow down tho the revs dont stop at 1k again it goes all the way to 0 batt light flashers and then it comes back up to 1k again, somethimes it stalls. I am told this matter is something to do with the BOVs. Never use to happen and I was running 2 hks bovs and the stock pair (4 BOVs, Stocks sealed) I removed the stock ones as I was told it was for the best and now the revs do that. Pain in the ass it is, but thats not my may concern atm, the oil presure is and im pritty sure its the sender.

Thanks

Got the same prob too in a 32 GTST. Oil pressure drops to zero (and the red low pressure light comes on) when I come to a stop, then picks up when I start moving again. Occasionally stalled too.

But I had a few oil leaks in the steering rack, sump, etc. Mechanic fixed that up the other day and hopefully that should fix it up.

Who ever told you to remove the stock gtr bov's is an idiot. Put the stock gtr bov's back on as they have been used on gtr's and supras with over 500kw@wheels withput any problems.

Damn, I was told by a few ppl to remove them. Damn its always my luck and I sold them tooo :) might have to get me another pair. Will R33 or R34 GTR ones fit just incase thats all I can find??

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
