Sudden High oil pressure??
Hey guys, I haven't posted here in a while but I need a little advice.
Drove the car last week everything dialed in perfect. Started it up today let it warm up noticed at idle the oil gauge is sitting at 90 (usually around the 2nd tick) And crusing it was pegging 120 not normal at all. Also when I shut the car down and turn it on but not start the ending the gauge jumps to 60psi. Check all vitals levels are pefect everything else checks out fine.
Bad sending unit or bad gauge?

I can tell you high pressure does not force oil out of anywhere because my newly built stroker runs at 120 cold and 90 at wot warm due I assume to the deletion of the squirters.
I verified it was not gauge related and will soon have aftermarket temp and pressure gauges in.
Hope the sender fixes your issue op.

Just wanted to report back. I picked up the part at Nissan and attempted to change it out. Due to my APS TT Kit it's making things super tough to get the sensor. Where the sensor would be is now a 3 hole block adapter for the oil lines going to to the turbos and the sensor now sits on the top of this block so it's a PITA to get to. Need to run to pick up some special tools to get it, but I should have it switched out tomorrow.
I did unplug the sensor and turned the key on and noticed the gauge was at 0 like normal so definitely is the sensor. Heads up for anyone with a APS TT kit.

Good to hear maximum
Which way did you go about to remove the sensor?
I would think the easiest way is to take off the support bracket for the alternator but would like to hear how you went about it.

Cux350z, with the APS kit you can't use a deep socket, our sensors is now moved to the top of the oil pan due to the adapter block thats replaced there for the oil lines going to the turbos.
