my GTR did that too.. only can see it in direct sunlight and after uh 40mins or more on the highway. also notice the tunnel carpet gets hot.. and the grease around the shifter is thinner after the drive due to heat.

im guessing heat and steam coming from the box arear thru the shifter..

first time i saw it scared me lol.

Just yesterday I noticed this exact some thing and it was happening today as well. Both days have been very hot. It may have been occuring before but I hadn't noticed it (bought my car about 6 weeks ago).

It's an R33 gts-4 non turbo.

It doesn't seem to have any smell and is only a small amount like the steam coming out of a kettle. My coolant isn't leaking, oil and brake fluid are fine.

Is it worth worrying about?

Thanks

I have the same thing, but only after track punishment then cool down cruising at 100km/h. I assumed it may have been burnt off power steering fluid as i had a leaking hose. Only just fixed the hose so i dont know if i still have the problem or not.

Some guys on the uk gtr forum have had the same problem. For these guys it was caused by a split gaiter at the bottom of the gearstick.

I'm gonna take it to my mechanic and get him to check it out.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
