My goal was to make it in a nissan mag for worlds fastest NA 5.5 auto... only reason id keep the auto... I can see the title now... 12 sec NA auto

 

WELP!!! When it rains it pours....... yesterday at 2:30pm driving home from work yesterday I THINK. I blew my motor... after crusing at about 65 going home I all the sudden heard a noise as if I got a a flat in my tire, looked in the rear view mirror to see a puff of smoke n some particle flying away, I thought it was a flat and got pissed and decided to drive it home still (3 minutes from home) but what seems confusing to me is when I tried crankin the car it never even tried turning over... just a click and that's it????

 

color of smoke? and hows your coolant levels?
reason I ask is i had a cracked head in a car a few year back and didnt know it. blew a rod and had the same issue a mini explosion white smoke and a bit of the honeycomb from my muffler shot out the tailpipe.

 

White smoke... brown liquid under the car but. To my frustration and not caring attitude I didnt even bother to smell the liquid

 

Have you changed the oil yet?

Could be a blown headgasket if you have white smoke coming out of the exhaust and the oil has milky deposits in it.

 

Probably oil?? Hows the dipstick oil level look like?

 

^^^what everyone else said, check the oil, if is milky, its a headgasket. weird that it would just let go crusing at 65 though..

hope you got some cash to pick up that 6spd thats 5k in the classifieds now!

 

If the HG let go...

...how about a low mileage VQ35 with some S1 knockoffs, RevUp Oil Pump and ARP rod bolts...

 

Who cares about rev ups.......

 

RevUp cams?

I looked all winter for a set on my350Z/G35driver.com, couldn't find a set. If it comes down to me, putting cams in, I wanna go with something more aggressive anyways.

 

does sound nice..although hustle is still gonna be missing that 3rd pedal

 

Oil change was done a month n a half ago... the white smoke wasn't constant, probebly a 2 second puff... dipstick was fine... I'm on my way home now so I won't check the car out til tomorrow... its not the HG I'm sure

 

btw, kinda back on topic... 6-speed swap also includes messing with the ABS module.

 

K no swap.... still haven't even done ish to the car, thanks to our blizzard

 

Dam the luck!!!! Now you can get busy and build a real motor to reach your 12 sec dream.......How many miles? See if you can turn the engine with a breaker bar @ the crank (clockwise).....Check your block for holes just in case it threw a rod! Dam dude!!!!!!

 

Yea ill be heading dow by the dealership where the car is today to finally clean off the snow, as I had no ways of gettn down there.... 12's is possible without internal work on the engine I'm sure.... this is still my daily so this process will be slow and thought out as I'm not pressed to break 12's moreso the 13.3 set by jime (granted his canadian air mod)
