mornin all.

Went to get interior work done the other day. Had to leave the parts there for guy to do. i have the center console section(gearboot and handbrake taken off aswell as door trims). On my drive home i noticed that there was a fair bit of smoke coming out from the gearstick. It doesnt really smell at all and isnt thick. ive noticed it a little bit before on occasions, but i thought it must just be some oil on the gearbox or something. Its just that there was so much of it the entire way home. Any ideas wht it could be??

It wouldnt be because of oil on the gearbox, the gearbox shouldnt get that hot that oil would burn as such. I would probably say that you have a possible exhaust leak - maybe from the turbo. Another possiblity is that there may be oil leaking onto the exhaust that is burning.

Do you notice the smoke on acceleration/boost???

leak from the turbo??? doesnt sound too good. hehe...i could be gassin myself unintentionally. i only ever notice it after the car has been running for a while. it was doin it all the way home cruisin the freeway at about 2800rpm my car doesnt really hit boost til 3000rpm. it is more of a misty smoke and doesnt smell.......so wouldnt it smell if it was a leak from exhaust or turbo???...

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)

      Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
