Message	:Apparently this valve doesn't do anything on the pressure since I have well over 60psi after warmed up. :I could be wrong but I don't remember seeing any relief valve in the filter tree, not according to FSM either. FSM says two valves, one in the pump, another one in the block. The FSM shows the oil cooler check valve on page 5 of the lubrication and cooling section: [ http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/300zx/1994/lc.pdf ] If you remove the oil cooler fitting on the tree you'll find a spring and piston behind the fitting. This can be shimmed for more oil pressure, but at the expense of less flow to the oil cooler.
Follow Ups	Let's Talk about Oil Pressure - ZXRider 10:26:34 10/07/13 Mine is somewhat similar - 300ZMang 10:35:25 10/07/13 I see. Glad to see similar readings. (n/m) - ZXRider 12:59:09 10/07/13 I think it may be physics at play here - Zsgetyoulaid 10:49:57 10/07/13 Mine does the same at cold start and after a few hours - ThunderZ 11:09:57 10/07/13 I am curiours how much the oil pressure goes up - ZXRider 11:14:01 10/07/13 the 60 psi you arre seeing is due to the oil bypass valve - aliaZ 11:34:08 10/07/13 I did not even think of that. - ZXRider 12:57:53 10/07/13 Are you talking about the pressure relief valve on the block - RZturbo 15:22:05 10/07/13 that isn't the valve I'm referring to (n/m) - aliaZ 16:56:21 10/07/13 Which valve? - RZturbo 17:46:56 10/07/13 you're mistaken - aliaZ 22:02:57 10/07/13 There is a regulator valve in the oil pump - RZturbo 23:46:27 10/07/13 the regulator valve in the pump is set to about 100 psi - aliaZ 06:05:31 10/08/13 Fairly similar, takes about 10 min to get the oil temps up - Stanky 12:09:18 10/07/13 What brand oil do you use Stanky? I used to run Mobil - Hydrus (Dallas) 13:44:29 10/07/13 conventional rotella, but I believe Mobil 1 has a 15w-50 - Stanky 14:26:55 10/07/13 Same here. Been thinking about trying RP or Amsoil (n/m) - Hydrus (Dallas) 14:55:00 10/07/13 SPL full flow, I see over 100psi. Redline 15w50 Good stuff! (n/m) - ZinnZ32 15:37:36 10/07/13 What does the full flow kit consist of? - ZXRider 17:34:27 10/07/13 Just took some pics - Stanky 21:12:10 10/07/13 This is what mine is like as well - 300ZMang 07:32:29 10/08/13 Awesome. Thank you for the pictures. - ZXRider 10:40:49 10/09/13
