The rings are passing or the pistons are fooked from being melted ??
the mahle pistons in your cossie are 10 times better than the standard nissan shite so i wouldnt worry about it mate.
Its been rebuilt 13k ago with new 4x4 mahle pistons and rings so id be gutted if it were that.
Cheers for the advice mate

As RAB MC said i thought it was my valve stems on mine but it turned out to be piston rings, but if youv already had a rebuild and not sure of the head i would say it was the seals then, let us no how you get on anyway mate, and good kluck

the raised boost pressure will be causing the oil to blow by your rings...
get one on asap!

BUT raised boost pressure will cause "quicker" engine wear... could be the rings/bores ... maybe when it was bebuilt it wasnt rebored with oversized pistons etc?? maybe just new rings etc??

Shit i think ive become used to the optimax smell and dont tend to notice it as everyone who goes in the car says it stinks...
Stinks and causes cancer! The higher the octane the higher the benzine and other nasties!

The excess pressure in the crankcase causes the turbo rear seal to pass oil...
So have one each

It never smokes on Idle and i dont think it smokes on boost its just the over run when you have been rolling using the engine brake, when you go back on the throttle it gives a small blue puff of smoke.
Breather time and ill see if it sorts me out

both of mine have doen and do t=exactly the same, the only time there is any smoke, dont worry about it, bear in mind, if it had a ct on, that would probably catch it and so u wouldn't see it...

just finding my feet
dont worry about it unless when the cars behind mention it
too much fuel makes a carslower btw aswell as fooking the engine over a period of time, get the car set up and the map looked at
mine used to throw out greyish smoke when on and off the gas but when i changed chips that all stopped

only time you should be really worried about smoke is if its lots of smoke under hard acceleration as that is defo the rings.
smoking for any other reason can be put down to being a normal cossie
