I haven't put the M restricted bolt in the block. I am have drilled a grub screw to 1.5mm and threaded my banjo bolts to simulate the block restrictor

The front turbo looks like the only one to be leaking into the exhaust. I will also look at the Tee piece. looks like the uphill section may be causing an issue as stated by elite.

I had another look and I do have the "M" restrictor bolt. I have installed 1.5mm restrictors in the banjo's which did help a smidge maybe. I hada think about it and pulled the Tee off installed a divider so the rear turbo drain oil doesn't effect the front as its an easier path for the rear turbo oil flow to go past the outlet and into the front turbo line before being pushed back and out the outlet causing more restriction on the front turbo return. I have pretty much no smoke at all now. Will go for a drive and check that it clears out of the exhaust. I will be revising my return lines as they are not optimal .89 mm ID. Be be interesting if they are ok at high rpm when more flow is required. Elite was correct pointing out my oil pump wasn't the problem.

Matt

are they the premade oil lines you can get from the uk? via ebay?

no, they were made up. guy made a mistake with my speed flow -10 quote which is actually -14 JIC. way to small. changing them tomorrow.

Its on an rb30, I doubt the factory lines would reach the extra 38mm

I am using the factory steel lines, they bent up 38mm. This is the oil returns. I should have used a 38mm T25 turbo flange shim. Would have put them all back in the standard position along with the dumps/front pipes.

I have changed my hoses from 8.9mm ID to 19mm ID(STD size) and had a Y piece made up so they both travel down hill the entire way. As long as the Tee isn't to restrictive I should be fine now. I have put a heat shield sheath on the rear line as it goes around the rear dump.

Talked to the guys at MTQ who said the turbo housing have a .8mm restrictor inside but I may need smaller if they still leak.

Will know how its goes tomorrow.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
