Shes Here!!!

Boys and girls i drove back to Calgary alberta in a 300zx, and Picked up my baby!!! Then drove her back to Esquimalt.. The trip took 17 hrs Start to finish, thats including the near 2 hr ferry ride, waiting for the ferry two 1 hr stops and the fact that IT WAS RAINING SO BAD that i drove 40km/h for 2 hrs straight.. I made up for it by driving 110 mph for 2 hrs straight!!!
Here's the Good news

NO SPEEDING TICKETS

120 Dollars Canadian for the Trip in gas

NO OVERHEATING

NO PROBLEMS on the way over...

So i get here the next day i start her up and theres just this HUGE Cloud of smoke that comes out... What is it?

The new climate? I changed the oil before i left Calgary...
There was NO smoking the entire trip or the rest of the day... but it sat for a night and it smoked... Could it be that all the crud from the trip over settled? The new gas? What!!! let it run for about 4 min and it lessend considerably, started her back up and the cloud wasnt so big.. But then i had to man a station

Whats the deal?

WOW 17hrs is damn good!!!! last time I made that drive it took 10hrs one way on the Coquihala.

Sorry but I can't help with your problem. When I moved from BC to Calgary I had problems with the computer,in my car, constantly throwing a MAF code... When I returned to BC the code never re-appeared. Go Figure, Guess the car liked the humidity of BC's summers better than the dry Alberta summers :shrug:

Valve stem seals or maybe valve cover gaskets?

i put in an msd blaster coil and replaced the original plug wires with 8.5mm superconductors..

Boys, i dont want to sound like a ***** but i can see a HUGE difference with the combined result, maybe it was the worn out plugs, or the coil.. but the end result is absolutely astonashing

i have no traction now!!!!

What color is the smoke? White is antifreeze.... blue is oil... and black is incomplete burn or running too rich.
