I would say that the oil is leaking from the oil return (drain) from the front turbo as it seems to be running down from the rubber hose and I would suggest that the hose is not pushed far enough down the metal pipe that comes out of the block as the ribber hose usualy is pushed down hard up against the raised rib on the metal pipe.As for the smoke coming out the exhaust it could possibly be caused by engine blow by due to more boost being run through the engine with the new bigger turbos wich may not have been an issue with less boost and the standard turbos.I would be inclined to do a compression test on your engine because if it has a few klms on t the stress on the engine due to larger turbos and more boost could be the start of the end.I hope not hope this is a bit of help best of luck mate

      Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

      Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now.

      Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
