i was just wondering what kind of oil pressure you guys are seeing at idle and at about 3500in 5th when the car is warmed up. mine has plenty but i just want to compare and see if its lower/higher than other people's. im getting about 25lbs at idle and 65-70lbs at 3500 in 5th (when im on the highway).

What is the oil pressure run on your Z31. I'm running between 0-30psi. at idle. & like 25 to 35 or 40 at 2200 rpms. on the stock gauge & it is not that easy to read. Is yours any better or not. I'm not sure if my pump is going.

Thanks, ~Josh~

I never get up to 70 once it's warmed up. At idle I'm at about 12-15psi. I'd say 50-60psi at 3K
