low oil pressure...
i've noticed that my car at most gets 30psi of oil pressure. that's giving it any throttle. at idle, i get maybe 5psi. think it's my gauge? i have replaced the o-rings.

Check it with a mechanical gauge. I ended up having a bad wire from the pressure sensor. Put on a real gauge and it checked out OK. BTW, the oil pressure fitting is a 1/8" BSP thread so you will need a adapter.
Then after you confirm the oil pressure really is low, start looking at other things.

erm..my oil pressure was fine lol. my stock gauge was shot so i hooked up an $8 wal-mart gauge to the stock sender port. worked like a charm.
as for the oil pressure...
check the oil pan. if it's dented in...it could be impeding the oil pickup. could also be some junk clogging up the screen over the pickup...
if anything, just try a fresh change of oil.

Mine's in storage right now till the end of april, but i was having issues with my oil pressure gauge also, as my engine would warm up my oil pressure would go down and i think it got below 15 psi once, but it jumps up when i rev it, it had me worried though.
I hope i'm not up for a rude awakening when it comes out of storage.
