Help! 1996 Gtst

[Kirbz101]

Just bought a gtst with 90k's on the clock the car is completely immaculate! Not one drip of oil under the good even all the original sticker arnt faded

The guy sold the car with a blown clutch so gonna put in a excedy heavy duty clutch

So my problem is the car is blowing white smoke all the time even when the car is heated up

The car does not over heat I haven't drove the car as its clutch is blown

Sorry if I sound stupid but it's my first car and have no idea if no one has any idea does anyone know a good skyline mechanic in northern suburbs of Melbourne?

Thanks in advance

White smoke can be oil (will often have a blue tinge to it) or water. Check the water level in the radiator (when cold obviously) and the oil. If the water or oil look like a milkshake then you have a blown head gasket. If the water is fine, but oil is low then you have an oil leak (possibly because of worn piston rings, valves or the turbo is shot).

Either way, your immaculate skyline has a possibly serious issue, other than the blown clutch, which may be pointing towards it having a hard life.

From my experience white smoke could be just because its cold and nothing important if its got an exhaust system.

or alternatively its a serious issue. my gtst (now gone) use to always do that took it to mechanic, nothing was wrong with it though.

From my research so far I believe it may be

A. Valve stem seals

Or

B. turbo seal

Or

C. Pistons

Has anybody fixed any of these issues before and what sort of cost was it?

cost a little to cost a lot! you cant determine cost that easy as a b or c involves a part or total strip down of the motor
