Oil pressure at idle??

hello all, just wondering if someone could confirm this for me, what should an nissan 200sx s14a's oil pressure be at idle?

I hear it should be 25psi? is that true?

I'm rather concerned, mine is going as low as about 15psi?

have i got an issue?

regards
rob

dont know about the 200 in paticular but 15 psi seems really low.

Mine id 35 psi on hot idle
