Its like dropping a cup of flour on the ground

Well that rules out the second turbo then.

Definitly not blue smoke?

Could be a split intercooler hose too.

Should be under warranty,trip to a dealer that knows what they are on about is the go......

Not a black one by any chance? I see you are GC based, but I was following a black 2.7 just the other day, on the Capt Cook Bridge in Brisbane. It was blowing smoke just on gentle cruise.

I have a 2.7 and I see black smoke out the back but only when I am flat to the floor. Figured it was just a diesel thing because I see plenty of other moderns diesels do the same thing.

The LC200 is much worse if booted.

So are nissan Navara,particularly if it is an auto.

not 100% sure,one mate said it had blue tinge, Maybe both blue and black. Did remove intercooler hose to check for cracks and found dirty black oil in the lower part of the hose. all clean up top though,
(DC1) my car is dark blue not black. Looks like lots of smokers out there ay
