i think it's the same as most nissan engines, more than 11psi - 40 psi at idle with engine at operating temp.

Whoa... no way man. 40psi is way high for idle. Maybe when you first start the car but at operating temp you should be between 16-22psi. At 3000rpms you should be between 60-70psi per the FSM.

It's cool I'm not trying to pull punk cards or anything, just helping us NICO guys grow smarter.
