Paul, the problem seems to to be in the oil pressure sender units and are known to be a problem in Patrols. Is yours a twin sender unit in that it has both an oil pressure guage and also a low oil pressure light on the dash?
Mine is like this, and when I was experiencing the same problems as you I tried to find something available aftermarket. No joy there though, the only option is original equipment Nissan but they are priced over $100 for the one on my petrol GQ.
In the end I removed
mine from
the block and gave it a gentle burst of compressed air and it worked fine for quite some time but it's doing the same thing again so it's about time for another dose of compressed air cleaning.
Note, I didn't push the compressed air nozzle hard up against it, I gave it a light burst from about 100mm (4") away.
Regards Andrew.

New senders are $90 from Mr Nissan, I did one, and it fixed my problems.
New guages going in next weekend though :)
