guys i just put my engine in to my 32 gtr. the engine its self is a series 33 gtr vspec engine. before we put it in we had it comp tested and came out a solid 120 through out all pistons. yesterday i gave it a lil push through first and second gears and it started to blow smoke through the cacth can. i emptyed the cacth can and took it off from the head and it was still blowing white smoke.

if anyone knows why this is happening or possibly has a solution to this please reply. would be much appreciated cheers

If it's been sitting for 6 months, possible water vapour?

Drive it around, put 100KMs on it, see if it's still there (That's if it's not like massive amounts looks like car is on fire style)

As Dirt said, another comp test/leak down.

or its just spun a bearing and your seeing the resultant burnt oil escaping.... white oil from catch can is usually terminal. Ie the rods are hot enough to burn the oil in the sump.

lol before jumping to conclusions how bout asking? that was with a previous motor. i wouldnt be saying all inspections are more then welcome if the motor was stuffed!

He answered back when you first asked the question mate. Nothing to do with your current setup.

Read the date of his reply

Guys that post wasn't directed at use. A member found this old topic and posted it on my forsale thread thinking I was trying to sell the car with a stuffed motor. How ever the cars motor has been replaced. I do apologize if use took it the wrong way an in no way am I trying to have a go at use because use helped me out. I just wrote that post about jumping to conclusions on the wrong page. Once again I do apologize for the mistake and did not direct that at anyone who commented this page sorry guys

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
