Hi guys, i have a s1 r33 jsut got dynoed last week with 202rwk.

mods are walbro pump, FMIC 10psi pod, dump back exaust.

Now when i bought hte car i was driving it home down the toowoomba range in 3rd gear using engine braking. Iwas doing about 40-50klmhr whne i hav eit a little about 1/4 throttle and its dumped a big could of whitish smoke out the back for about 8 meters. Having just bought hte car 5 mins earlier i was stressing, at the bototm of hte range i stopped at a servo and checked the oit levels, i had to top up about 400ml of oil.

the car apparent had a rebuilt engine wiht foged pistons about 3 months before i purchased it.

On the 2 hour drive back to brissy i could not get the car to dump white smoke again.

Now fast forward 3 weeks later a mechanic "friend" of mine hooked up a catch can wrong sealing in crank case pressure. 20 mins after driving it on the highway i gave it 1/4 pedal to over take and it dumped white smoke again. I proceed hom top up the oit as it is down, notice the can is connected wrong. I fix the can plumping so now its a plump back can as it shoudl be.

Fast forward 3 months. I have no oil in the catch can. I have had it checked by 2 other mechanic and they cay the can is connected correctly.

I have slight oil smear in my cooler pipes i am guessing given the recent events i may have dodgy turbo seals?? I have noticed today in traffic at idle the car is fine but when i go to take of in first it gives a quick little cloud of what looks to be whitish smoke? it doenst do it thru the rest of hte rev rnage or at idle just a few times when i took of from the lights?

Any ideas what coudl be causing this smoke out the exhaust guys? i am hokping just turbo oil seal??

By the way the Catch can still has no oil in it so i dont think blow by is a issue for me at all.

??

thanks in advance.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
