I'm new to old Dattos, but have had a couple of R33 skylines, a few R32 skylines and an old faithful Volvo 240.
This particular lady has an L20B with EFI +Motec M4, headers and a 5 speed box. She's straight as anything, and there isn't any rust to be found. Interior is immaculate other then the festy looking bucket seats which i'll be replacing with a spare recaro i have laying about and 1600 passenger seat. Immediate plans are predominantly handling wise only. Want to upgrade brakes, lower her, fit some 15x8+-0 enkei Apache II (I realise this might take some work) and generally just staunch the place. Lastly, this morning after i had fixed a fuel problem, i was driving her in a 'spirited' manner (They can do 100km/hr in 2nd!) when all of a sudden there was a massive cloud of white smoke. I pulled over to check the engine bay, and it died as soon as i stopped giving her some throttle. Checked the engine bay, and there was oil all around/near the catch can/breather area. I hadn't checked how full the catch can was in a while, so i opened it and it was about 3/4 or more full. After 10 minutes i tried turning her again, started immediately and idled fine. So...any ideas on what this could mean? My first thought was that it could be pistons, but nothing after the smoke is suggesting any rough play. Anyways, sorry for the long winded intro! Stoked on hearing back from you all, Cheers, Adam
