Azzakaze Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Hi Guys, does anyone know the symptoms of bad Oil Gallery Gasket causing low Oil Pressure. First Photo is how it used to be just under 30 PSI or how it has been since I bought the car years back. Second photos is how it is now which looks like 15 PSI to me. Is this too low or isit normal?, I have never noticed it drop this low ever before also if it requires replacing,how much parts+labour Will it be ?,I'm based in East London if that helps,thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P15UL T Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I'm hoping to do mine tomorrow. The parts cost about £150-£200 from Z1 motorsports. I know a few folk that have managed it themselves so I'm hoping it's not too complicated. Just need to remove a whole load of parts.

P15UL T Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Was about 5 psi when I got in the car after filling up. Was only my way to get mapped so lucky it happened when it did. Had been fine the week before when I had it out. Usually only went as low as 14ish once heated up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzakaze Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Oh right how long was yours on 14 psi before it went down to 5 psi ?, mine had always been on 28 psi, only just few days back it went down to 14/15 psi (weather was extremely hot outside past few days),I thought maybe it was because of the hot temprature.My service is coming up soon,will see if it makes a difference otherwise I'll also be getting the Gallery Gaskets done too,probably will change water pump+thermostat alongside it too since they are located in the same area.

Hayd350 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Mine's floating around 15psi hot idle now so may as well commence the search and see if there's anyone in North Yorkshire that's tackled this before. It's all fun and games until you're engine goes bang i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently 14/15 psi is the minimum it should be according to Nissan, anything lower or say more closer to 0 psi then it needs to be dealt with ASAP, which is of course replacing the Gallery Gaskets that go bad as they are made out of paper, nothing can be done to prevent it from going bad, it will happen sooner or later, my cold start today was at 110 psi,after 30 mins of being warmed up it went down to 15-20 psi ,not sure how urgently mine needs replacing, will definitely get refined ones whenever I decide to replace them.

It hung around the low side of 15 when hot since I got it. It only gets driven half a dozen times a year so I just kept an eye on it. Just decided that day enough was enough I suppose and spat the gaskets out. Hoping to finish putting everying back together tomorrow so fingers crossed.

Recently after a number of spirited drives i've noticed my car struggles in first when moving off. It's fine if i give it a bit more revs. My limited mechanical knowledge links this to perhaps low oil pressure? It's fine when cold. Either way it's something i'm moving up the list. No other symptoms, tik over's sound and steady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
