I am running an rb20det.... stock 240sx gague my oil light came on for some reason.. I dont know why...

is this light to tell me low oil level or low oil pressure? it never used to come on but now its on and I can't find any bugs in the wiring to the oil presure sensors unless i missed something.

anybody know and with pictures so i can re=check my wiring to my oil pressure sesnor, i think i have a ka oil p sensor in.. cant remmeber i didn't put it in, had another rb owner did it for me and all my wiring.

sorry for my bad spelling.

the oil light in the cluster came on in my car when i lost oil pressure - verfied this because my gauge said it was around 5lbs or less... hopefully your just low on oil or something. That motor needs alot of work to be useable now, aka crankshaft, block line honed to ensure proper fitment of the crank, and a cylinder head due to the cams wearing out the buckets... Good luck with your motor

if the oil light comes on, don't push your engine, fix the problem.

install an aftermarket oil pressure gauge, to know the exact pressure.

it shouldn't need a lot of work.. i never drive it.. haven't drove it in 5 months due to the oil light and poor idle and motor wanting to shake out the engine bay... lol

i know it needs an iacv but i haven't found out what else is wrong with it yet.. : (
