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??

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
