so does the engine still run? does it make funny sounds? I reckon you would have spun a bearing if that sort of problem happened at 8000rpm. A 33 i sold had fluctuating oil pressure after the guy bought it and it ended up being the oil pressure sender was failing so that dash was telling a different story from what was actually happening.

Errr - I didnt get to see the oil pressure on mine prior but the word is the screws loosed and the bearings farked (big End). I found out afterwards the previous owner was getting eratic oil pressure readings and was advised the gage was d!cky. Now I'm looking at a full rebuild of my 32 GTR

im sick of hearing that its loose backing plate screws that cause the oil pump problems ITS NOT, i've heard it 8 times this week!!! Its the undersized crank drive on r32 that is the cause. The drive is not wide enough it causes vibrations which wear down the internal gears of the pump(fluctuating oil pressures) and AS A RESULT cause the screws to vibrate loose. Everyone with a r32 should invest in a $240 collett from jun to save them a rebuild!!!!

Well, you are right, but the backing plate screws coming out is not wrong :(

I couldn't support your view more in terms of a crank collar, or even R33 crank. Its not worth losing your engine over, I was lucky with mine still got the engine...

oh the screws and backing plate do come loose no arguement but its a result from vibration casued by the small crank drive, not that they just come loose for some reason and this causes the oil pressure problems!!!

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
