Love the build, but i am struggling with the need for a billet flexiplate, maybe you can explain what s so special about it?

I see the ring gear outer is welded on so not part of the billet, is it just to have the hub and plate made of one piece for extra strength? Do the OEM ones let go? :unsure:

Do you have a Dakota Digital or similar “translator” box between the cluster and sender? That cluster is from a 3SGE powered car, so I’d think it would read high as it’s not calibrated for a 2JZ. I’ve never done the Altezza cluster but I know it’s a thang for the rpm’s reading to be off, so I’d advise reading about the oil psi gauge as well - it may help point to the right direction.
Pressure is pressure, number of cylinders is irrelevant. Pressure is good then oil is going places it should, pressure is bad then knock knock knock on random cylinder. What you do need to make sure is what the calibration is for the gauge and sensor. Mid way means nothing on a gauge with no numbers and not calibrated to the sensor output.... maybe that's what you are meaning about the engine?
