    Well had white smoke on the cruise we just had on the Gold Coast but on the way home when turning onto the highway white smoke shot out of the centre console between the two front seats :eek::eek:

    I did take the corner pretty quick tho trying to keep up with 571CKY. :p

    I'm aware of that :p but it doesn't leak when sitting still. Maybe I blew my imaginary turbos. :rolleyes:

    Was that you today with the young blond girl?

    check oil pressure when this happens and see if it drops off.

    Likely to be from auto tranny. Time for a service as perhaps overheating and blowing out over the zorst.

    Yeah, When my Auto overheated it smoked white smoke hardcore but that was coming from the back of the engine bay. and the sides.

    Yeah that's what it appeared to be doing the first time. I'm just going to sell the car.

    Can't blame you lol

    I'm probably gonna sell my zed after i get my fuel pump issue fixed and windscreen replaced

    Although the community is great etc.. being now a student and owning TT 300zx's is hard to pull off

    If it is the tranny, just check your output shaft seal and upgrade your cooler. I had to run a bead of gasket goo around the seal because the idiots who built it put a gouge in the housing for the seal when they replaced it. That caused fluid to pass the seal and drop on to the exhaust. I didn't get the same prob like I did on the Purlingbrook Cruise. How hard did it smoke then! :eek:
