I'm new to the Z world, and I have 90 300zx N/A. I noticed that the oil presure gauge at ilde sits between 0 30 ( I would same 15 psi), and when driving its btwn 30 and maybe 40. Is this normal, or is this reading too low. If it is, what could be the problem. I don't have any noticeable leaks, and the under carriage is clean. I've had this car about 4 months now. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

It is normal. The oil pressure is sensitive to the engine RPM's and to the temperature of the oil.
