oil pressure

from what I see in your sig you have around 150,000 miles on the car? It looks to me like your probably about due for a rebuild but your oil pressure is not as bad as it seems. as long as it kicks up to that 40-60 range while your driving its not bad. I know my last z was about the same as yours My current z has just had a rebuild and the oil pressure goes up to 65-70 driving and around 40 at idle.
