Hi guys, I have a very worrying issue with my oil pressure guage and im hoping someone may be able to put my mind at rest.:)

 

My N/A 300 usually runs around the 4 mark but recently its been between the 2 and 0 especially on tick over and rarely makes 4 or close to it even when moving. I changed the oil and filter 6 weeks ago for Mobil S semi synth and no signs of rattles or oil starvation but now ive started looking at the gauge its hard not too all the time. Please tell me its not terminal and that is a sender or guage fault coz I cant do with pulling the motor out of a 300zx again....... I really cant:cry:

 

Jase:confused:

Prob sender knackered... they are very unreliable at the best of times... for peace of mind get an after market one...

Seen this before on my mates n/a.. No problem at all, just a naff gauge :)

Thanks guys, that has helped bring the old heart rate down a bit! Im just about to put a Cold Fusion NOS kit on it and needed to be reassured its ok.

My oil pessure gauge has a mind of its own It has lazy days and sometimes it as crazy days............BUT!............I would check first before you go thrashing the ar5e off it that the oil pressure is good and it is a faulty gauge or you will hear a very loud crunching noise followed swiftly with a big bang. :)

No mate.. I was just very suprised at your reply lol

If I ever had another n/a I would seriously consider nos.

Good luck :)

Its cool, normally when you mention NOS people snigger and wish you well while deep down expecting it to all go tits up after about a week! LMAO

I have always wondered this, - like all cars the zed has a low oil pressure warning light - so whats the point in the gauge?? There is a light to tell me when there is actualy a problem??

I know you could argue that knowing the actual amount of oil pressure is benneficial - i tend not to bother looking at mine somtimes it works, other times it just randomly goes to 0 mid journy... car keeps going so i assume there must be some pressure left!
