should the oil pressure be here on idle and when the car is warm?
also something weird happened, i had to stop because the revs would not go past 2500 revs and the car just suddenly switched off..
i am wondering if this could be down to the spark plugs

On the R33 RB26DETT it should be 1.5 at idle, so I would think the R32 should be the same. Looks a bit low on your gauge but the standard Nissan pressure senders are known to be unreliable. It would be worth checking the oil pressure with another gauge just to be sure that you don't have a problem with the oil pump.

Not reving past 2500rpm is usually an AFM fault.

Think that oil pressure is a bit low there.................. Possibly try an oil change for some quality Castrol Edge or summin

The car not revving past 2500rpm and cutting out could be caused by the AFM or the connection to it. Try swapping for one that works (if yuo can get a loan of one) and check/clean the plug connection. R32 Combat posted up a similar answer to another member recently, try a search for more info.

Hope this helps

when was the last time you changed the oil & oil filter ,mine drops to about 5mm say below the 2 bar mark but only when I've done a bit of spirited driving or the weathers hot ,if mine falls any more than that ill do a oil& filter change ,the other prob could be an AFM ,check the connections maybe over fueling causing it to stall ?

The oil pressure gauge on my R32 GTR does exactly the same thing from time to time, senders arent the best.

This happens with my mates R32 oil pressure gauge as well, might be worth changing the oil and filter though, just to put your mind at rest.

My O/P also appears quite low at idle when hot and I reckon its a tired sender unit. As long as its shows a healthy figure at higher revs then everything should be OK. As mentioned GTR senders are notoriously bad.
So is it best to get a new sender for the original gauge or get an aftermarket O/P gauge?? I only ask as I'm not really one for having loads of aftermarket gauges hanging from my dash.

I replaced my sender with a brand new Z32 oil sender recently. That, combined with a 1.5mm Tomei oil restrictor, has had my oil holding rock steady at 4 bar - a little above, up to 6 when very cold, a little below after I've thrashed the bejeezus out of the car
