slightly OT ... but when i had turbo put into my 18R, they replaced the rebuilt pump (was v.low pressure at idle & revs) with a hilux unit (petrol eng, don't know what make/model). volume and pressure of oil (cold or hot) very satisfactory now, even with turbo-with-inline-cooler-oil-line.
I suppose that the RG and R engines shared pumps?
note: had to use (and the modify) the pickup from the hilux pump to fit into the 18R sump.
anyway, your pump sounds like the relief valve is stuffed.
you should really think hard about replacing the pump and valve, as no/low oil pressure will lead to rapid engine death.
