hmmmmmmmmmm befor you start panicking you might have some oil on you manifold or turbo housing look for oil anywhere around there if it still persists after 30 mins to an hour driving and the car has lost power your turbo could be shagged .

when I replaced a stuffed turbo is was still smoking with the new one for a while

Oil catch can is good for high hp engines or turbo. Does this happen before installing the oil catch can. If not then must be incorrect installation. If smoke occurs before installing oil catch can, then it could be turbo dead, valve steam seal or piston ring.

Check compressor turbine for free play. Most turbo leaks occurs during idling. Not much smoke during drive

Worn piston rings cause blowby and you will need a oil catch can.

Lost of power and smoking during drive

Valve steam seals leak cause smoke too. Irregular idling and smoking during drive.

I can only think of these few reason. Good luck

i found the reason, the catchcan had the lid on it and its only got like a 1mm hole for a breather, it was actually a radiator overflow bottle,sooo once i took the lid off it there was no smoke, because the oil out of the rockers couldnt breath it must have burnt it all instead. does this sound like it could have been the prob cause it aint doing it now, im gonna go buy one of those little pod filters for the top of the tank

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
