oil pressure droping on idle when hot

I would link out the cooler by looping a hose back onto the sandwich plate and see if that makes any difference.

I pulled my oil cooler off as it was not keeping pressure after the car sat off for a while. To be honest I dont think there is a need for them, ran plenty of track and drag days in mine without one with a Defi oil temp gauge and never seen any temps of concern.

Is it a remote filter set up on it? The height the filter is can play a part in all this apperently, not something I messed with at the time to see if it made any difference but read up on it.

i done 5 laps of rockingham with my oil cooler covered up and by the end of the 5th lap my oil was @120 degrees along with my brakes completely melted so i had to pull off the track. i dunno what makes the difference between cars ( maybe what there tuned to)
