could have a leak somewhere thats hiting the exaust and comming through the cracks, does smoke come the back aswell? aslo check it at idle, engine, gear box may be happening all the time, but when you drive and hit a certain speed it forces it backwards running under the car and up the hole where the gearstick is.

Cheers

everytime i check my oil it seems to be at the same level,which is just below max line.i also get my car serviced regularly and they dont mention anything that maybe wrong with it.yes i do notcie in the morning when i start it up that it gives out abit too much smoke.i will check the idle,engine and gearbox etc. also could this be a major problem if this is happening? cam84 and 2LV8ETR thank you so much for your help so far.really appreciate it.:D

There goes my theory on a gearbox oil leak.

My second guess is what Cam84 suggested which is an engine oil leak with the smoke penetrating through the trans tunnel.

It'll be reletively easy to find, and also check your parking area for spotting.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
