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??

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
