Im an early Miata guy. Looking at a 2007 for my daughter. The warm idle oil pressure and 3400 rpm are pictured.  Is this normal?

 

It also comes with one credit card style key, not a fan. Is there any problems with this key system?

Take a look at the oil filter - my dad complained of similar on his NA which was solved by replacing the orange POS filter with something not orange.

It's not a real oil pressure gauge. It's basically a secondary tachometer, it makes up a plausible reading based on engine rpm and (maybe?) coolant temp. I think it might have a switch on it so 0 is really zero, if so that probably triggers at about 7 psi. I haven't checked specifically on the NC one.

Biggest problem with those keyless systems that I know of happens when you lose the only one you have :) Get a second one, it's a lot easier to program it if you still have possession of a working key IIRC.
