Its finally going in
Discussion
Well after all the mucking about that i was getting a VXR8 off my dealer while they had my car for two months as they didnt have a belt i decided enough was enough, got them to contact monkfish and they now have a belt! so its going in tommorow for 3-4 days for
auxillery belt and tensioner
new drivers seat cover due to stitching coming out
passenger seat fault wont go back and forwards
rear heated window dont work
Oil pressure goes up to 5 bar on load when cold
not bad for a year old car!!!!!!!

glad you're getting somewhere..
curiously - i've got a zetec lump in an old ford - that gets up to 6.1 bar oil press when under load and engine is cold!

my skyline used to get up to about 5bar on full load when it was hot tbh. The only reason im concerned is that no other monaro does it sort of 3.5 bar max is the norm even when cold. i cant help think ther emust be something like a oil pressure bypass swiitch or something. Its had a service recently and that made no difference.
