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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
