gti-r owner needed

well this is the spot to ask so, i need some one to go into there car turn it on and let stand without reving for 15mins i would like to know exactly where the oil pressure in the center dash needle sits and the water temp in the gauge cluster where that needle sits. i think i put some of these wires wrong or backwards my oil temp doesn't even move, my oil pressure sit at a lil above the 2 and my water temp goes all the way to the needle before the H needle and does move further.
thanx guys if i did put these wires wrong my car is done and i can dyno it to see how much hp I'm really pushing with my new setup. (hoping for more than 500)

oil pressure a bit above 2, ( at load this is just above 4) and water temp half way between the left line, and the first line on the right, the smaller shorter thin line

thanx, i was hoping the oil pressure sat higher than that.

but either way i guess my oil temp line isn't reading the water temp(which i porbably put that way wrong of course) and my water temp is ready high bc its reading the oil temp instead(which is what i did wrong)

but can you tell me where your oil temp sits.

anywhere between the start at 75 to 2 lines after that

thanx, iguess i'll just switch those lines since i can't find anything wrong, and if that doesn't fix the read than it means i am over heating.

At idle I never see any oil temp on the gauge, but then I never let it sit for 15mins.
Pressure at idle should be 0.98bar minimum, so it can vary from car to car.

My water temp normally goes to about 1/2 on the gauge annd never moves from there.

i figured out that i origianlly broke the water temp. nipple coming off the block and replaced it but i guess i replaced it wiht the oil temp nipple which reads at a different temp. and thats my gauge was reading high.

so now we know dont mix the temp nipples.

the standard oil pressure sensor is notoriously sh*te.

on one of my gtirs it used to go backwards, then go skyhigh, then wave about for a bit, it wasn't worth looking at tbh.

yea you really have to drive the car for a bit before you see the oil temp gauge budge... and it doesnt move far. the highest i have seen is like just over 90c...

the highest i seen my temps on oil were halfway. the oil pressure gauge sits between the 2/4 goes as high as just below the 8
