Smoke

[gun32gtr]

last weekend i went to newcastle to watch a mate drive her 200sx in the hill climb they had...on the sunday we went shopping for a few hrs and when i come back and startd the car to find it was blowing a fair bit of smoke..

at 1st i thought it must be turbo going as ive removed the rescricter,but as i drove along and boosted it the smoke went blue..this only happened for about a km or 2,drove all the 3.5hrs back to bathurst and not a sign more and still has not done it again.

but was wondering if thats normal or could something need replacing,like valve stem seals or something????

any advice would be good.cheers kane

Over filled the oil? Does it only do it when cold?

There is always a possibility that a small amount of oil is seaping out of the front seal of your turbo once you shut it down and then once you start it agian the oil gets burnt through the system.

Take off your inlet pipe to the turbo and have a look to see if it is very oily inside (a little bit is normal). The only other true way to test the integrity of the engine is to get a leak down test done. Then you'll know for sure.

funny u say that about the oil,cause b4 i went to newcastle i thought id put i little in 250ml prob should have its only when its been sitting for ages like 2-4hrs and then only does it for like 1km or less...put ill check turbo as well! cheers again fellas
