Default ls1 240sx times/update and oil psi Q?

run down on the car. 1995 240sx, 2002 ls1, t56, j30 rear, HSC LT headers, tune, cheap street tires 255/40/17's on 9" rims, 28xx lbs. pretty much a stock ls1 in a 240sx with the minimum stuff to complete the swap.

car has been running great for a year and a half now. no problems. just regular oil changes.

best time to date. @ Hattiesburg, Mississippi (great track btw)
60ft 1.8202
1/8et 7.8814 @ 90.18
1/4et 12.1523 @ 115.74
bogged just alittle on that run cause i have got use to pedaling on launchs cause of spinning but that track hooks nice. and im no pro drag racer.

only thing i have noticed is the oil psi has dropped a few psi since the swap.
at first psi @ idle after a few mins of warm up was 36-37 psi (stock oil pump). now its like 30-31 psi. k&n oil filter and 5w 30 oil. is it something to worry about? its been this way for 4 months now so i guess if something major was going to happen it would have by now. it just has slowly dropped to that. not like it happened over night.

Great times. I have a similar setup, but I am still using my Megan coilovers, and I can't get a good sixty foot. My best time to date is 12.56@111, but my best trap is 12.60@114. I ran full weight with **** in the trunk, and heavy 350z 18's. I weighed 3240 with me in the car.

What are you using for suspension?

95 240sx se with sun roof, 2002 ls1/t56 stock manifolds into 3" Y-pipe, stock open diff

stock suspension. with the 255 tires i trap 114 mph like 90% of the time. hitting the 115 is just a odd run. normally i bounce off the rev limiter a few times crossing the finish line cause 114 mph is max speed in 4th gear with the 255's. and im too close to the end to make use of hitting 5th. rev limiter is still stock which i believe is 6200-6300. but i keep my shift light set @ 6000.

and for some reason my SE didnt have a sunroof which i was very happy about.

Yeah, I need to get another set of stock springs for the rear for the track. I am also looking to buy a J30 diff with the 3.90 ratio so that I can get more out of 4th gear as well.

I've recently added an oil pressure gauge. Initially it's about where yours (fouz65) is at. After warming the car up the oil PSI hits ~31 psi but never below that. My water temperature is about 195F at the same time. I'm under the assumption that if your oil pressure climbs with your RPM steadily and consistently you don't have anything to worry about. I've been running my ls1 swapped 240 for a little over a year now and daily driven.
