Hey everyone

Firstly, if just like to thank in advance all you learned legends who so freely give your time, effort and expertise to help and give much appreciated advice to newbs like me who know nothing:)

I just bought a 2003 Skyline v35 Coupe in the rare 6sp manual and for the first few days it was driving beautifully but now it is blowing out some serious white/grey smoke:( 

guess my next port of call will be to do some research to see what it could be and how much it'll cost.imageproxy.php?img=&key=4b1e78680f916b86

Thanks for having me guys:)

Can you get a photo of the smoke?  

Take the oil cap off and see if there is white residue under it.  Likewize, take the radiator cap off and see if there is an oil sheen in the radiator.

It's sounds headgaskety to me.  Actually it sounds very much like a blown turbo seal, but seeing as you don't have a turbo....

Hi, it could be a few things, if the smoke has a blue tint to it, it could be a blown turbo. cowboy is also correct check as he said if the caps are clear. Most likely ur rings on ur pistons are worn. 

No turbo on the Z AFAIK

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
