From looking at the engine manual, it should be pretty close to the oil filter, just below and to the side judging by the picture...

by oil bypass filter do you mean relocating your oil filter? or something else. i would also imagine you would get a rather small flow through the hole that the pressure switch comes from... it's not really made to have oil flowing through it.

Thanks tiberis

There will be a T piece to connect a hose and the oil switch. I havent seen this yet. The bypass filter will be located up near the rhs front of the car, near the front springs

How small a hole do you think it is?

You now have me thinking and a little concerned.

The bypass filter is only designed to clean 10 % of the oil down to 1 micron.

Given your comments I can get an adapter plate to put on the existing oil filter location but it will be an extra $50.

Any idea of thread type of a standard oil filter for my skyline?

ahk, so you are going to be running 2 filters in parallel? never heard of this before but it does sound interesting.

if you only wanted a rather small flow i guess you could use it. but based on the oil pressure sensor on the CA18 engine (which is rather similar to that of the RB series) the actual fitting was no more than 1cm in diameter.

also, how are you putting the oil back into the system? are you just going to tap it up to the head somewhere or into the rocker covers? because on the normal filter, the centre hole is the return path into the engine.

yeah, i had a sandwich plate on my CA18 so i could tap in an oil temp sensor, i managed to pick mine up for $20 at a closing down sale though. might be worth looking through the for sale section on here though and see if you can find a 2nd hand one. they are more or less just a chunk of metal, so i doubt there would be much of a difference in age or condition.

and no, sorry, no idea on thread type.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
