Hi,

I have changed the gasket between turbo and manifold on my 240sx sr20det.Yesterday I mounted the turbo again, and everything went well, until I noticed that my oil pressure was wery low.

60 psi on idle when cold.
3 psi on idle when cold.
43 psi on 3000rpm when warm.

The car has been parked for 6 weeks now, but I have not done anything else than replacing the gasket. Any advice? The pressure was fine before I parked it. thanks in advance:-)

Verify the correct oil level and there are no external leaks anywhere.
You also might want to pull your filter and see if it has any hard parts in it :(
