Hey everyone. I just put a brand new radiator onto my L20ET, I had to get it custom made as you cant buy them new from any radiator shops anymore. The reason I needed to get a new one was that the plastic top tank on my factory radiator cracked.

So, I put the new radiator on and I have a weird problem... The motor is smoking chronicly, (white smoke that smells like petrol). When I first started the car it seemed like steam, wait a bit longer and it just starts pouring out this white vapour. Under acceleration it builds up more and more. And it sits in the air for a long time afterwards. Upto 1 minute once the car is turned off and theres capour still coming out of the exhaust.

This has me stumped as to what it could be. I have Oil, Transmission oil and Coolant so that doesnt seem to be the problem...

Anyone have any ideas? This has me stumped as it was running fine before the radiator cracked. Its also kinda lumpy in idling and the motor seems to be moving a little bit more than usual.

Regards, George

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
