350Z Oil Pressure

I have a 2005 Z Roadster with a manual transmission. When the engine is warm the oil pressure gauge seems to show very low pressure. The upper end it 120 with 4 marks indicating - presumably 30 increments.

When the engine is full operating temp and I am idling, the oil pressure drops halfway between the bottom mark and the first, apparently indicating 15 pounds of pressure, OR LESS.

Is this normal? Should it be reading higher? If the engine is cold, or at anything above idle, the pressure stay in the middle of the gauge. Should I be concerned or is this just normal operation?

It's a 2005 350Z Roadster with a manual transmission and 10,000 miles on it - but it's done this from the day I bought it.
