V8SkylineMAN --> Yep only drops ones and the sorts itself out or stalls, this happens eveytime I slow down, and change gears down. If I dont keep the revs up it will go to 0 then back to one. But yer it sorts itself out after going to 0, but its a pain and the power steering gets heavey as its about to turn off but then comes good.

Definately not your idle circuit then....I would also think that it is your bov's......try taking them apart and giving them a bit of WD-40 or summing....the plungers MAY be slow to respond? due to lack of lube.....but also put your stockers back on...or buy some more stockers

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

I also have a 32 gtr, an have the same problem... or should i say had the same problem until my my engine died !!!! :)

It could be the guage... iv also heard that the oil pump bolts can come loose

If i had my time again i wouldn't of put it down to the gauge just in case, an put a full mechanical gauge on it !!!

As iv just found out that gtr engines are F*#ken dear to rebuild !!!!!! :)

Like everyone else i've experienced this myself recently. R33 gts-t.

Changed my oil a week ago, same stuff Motul 4100 but i overfilled it a bit and i changed oil filter from a cheap brand to a ryco one. I've used same oil before and i never had a problem.

Only started happening after my last oil change.

It wouldn't have anything to do with the oil being overfilled? (i don't think so)

Mite be the ryco filter..but its a good brand so once again i doubt that would be the culprit.

It also only happens after i've been pushing it for a while. Gauge drops to almost 0. Pain in the ass! and scary.

Go figure. :)

your idle is playing up because there is a leak in your vacum line that goes to the top of your bovs.

If the bovs were stuffed and the piston inside didn't seal you would have the equivilant of a leak. If they are new its not the bovs, more likely one of the vacum hose's (as there are two one from each turbo and for each bov) has a small hole in it, or is not connected properly.

The oil issue is an problem (mostly likely) with the guage, all the nissan electrical ones play up at some point, mine is playing up atm as well. Get a cheep mechanical one installed under the bonnet so you can see if you have pressure when the other fails.

The oil "light" is separate form the guage and if it is on.... you have no oil pressue (pump) or no oil, STOP your car, check oil and walk. It is very rare to have the light fail by comming on. and its bad if its on. :headspin:

come on, In what way does the water system (radiator etc) effect the oil pressure? thats just silly.

and you do realise that the "engine" oil light/guage is not connected to the power steering oil? as its a completly seperate system and is completly different oil, not even the same colour.

but keep checking it, and you might want to watch the steering oil level as your wheel might :flamed: stop spinning

My 1992 r32 GTR did exactly the same thing one night.

The oil px guage was really low and ended up going to zero. It would only rise if i revved it. Weird thing is it came good next day. Checked wiring to oil px sender(gave it a wiggle). Only thing I can explain is a bit of crap got stuck in the orifice of the oil px sender. It cleared itself out I guess. Due for an oil change soon anyway(every 5000k).

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
