Hey guys

Just a QQ for you, on my way home tonight, I noticed my oil pressure gauge on the top right hand side of the dash cluster hovering above 0. it was almost on it, then went back up a bit later on but not much changing

what is the ideal level for where this guage should sit?

I spoke to my mechanic who serviced the car and he said don't be too worried as its usually just the sender playing up. its full of oil and doesn't leek

I am fitting an oil relocation kit and an aftermarket electronic gauge soon hopefully

Don't risk it... get the oil pressure gauge ASAP.

You don't have to have an oil leak to have low oil pressure - the back of the oil pump the screws in the backing plate come loose due to age & vibration and that can cause fluctuating loss of oil pressure.... not worth risking a $6-8k rebuild on trust me

Don't wait until you get the new guage. Get the oil pressure tested with a mechanical guage immediately.

Idle should be roughly 15-20 psi

2500-3000 should be roughly 25-30 psi

4000-5000 should be roughly 35-40 psi

5500-6500 should be roughly 45-55 psi

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
