I see there is a great welcoming committee here. Hello to you too!
Apparently the problem hasn't been fixed.

Have a nice day.
Sorry bout that- been a rough week. 13hrs at work today and still counting. first one in, last one out, boss doesn't even care.
Anyway.. Welcome!
David's been through probably 25 engines since 2009, so this one is getting tired too.
Strange.. my KA24DE has about 140k miles on the ticker and I rev it to 7000 every shift. This engine has been in the car since 95k miles, and I quit street driving it at ~110k. so it's got 30k track miles on the thing. pressure gauge never says over 40psi, but the damn engine just won't die!
KAs don't get tired, they just ventilate when they've had enough...

LOL. I think the motor is more pissed right now that I don't run it enough.
I replaced the old oil pressure gauge/sender and that fixed the original issue. I think the current one is ok. The quick oil temp drop I see when I turn the car off is due to oil draining out of the adapter where the temp sensor is located I think.
I'd prefer to catch any oiling issues early so that the motor doesn't get extra holes in it. Maybe I'm a little too sensitive.

Thanks for the welcome. My name is Devin. I autocross and rallycross Nissan trucks with KA24e engines. A buddy and I were talking of transforming one of my trucks into a Pro-IT racer with hopes of getting the SVRA to open up a truck class like Coor's Racetruck Challenge trucks of the late 80's which is how I found this forum, just browsing for as much info as I can find. Sorry about bumping a 4 year old thread, I just like trying to help people when/if I can. I will start an introdution thread one of these days, don't want to thread-jack this one any more than I already have.
Nice to meet all of you.
