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

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
