Smokey Smokey..idea to find out which...
not assuming anything mate, but you sure its definatly not condensation from the codl weather and the car overfueling...? is there deffinatly blue smoke, as that is oil... white is normally from over fueling this time of year and condensation.... alittle bit of throttle should remove the white if its just overfuel/condensation... i might be wrong but worth a try

Fuel Octane questions
right that does start to explain a bit then....

Fuel Octane questions
haveing recently returned from the poor part of america (canada) I noticed that all the fuel out there is below 90 octane (even the preium stuff is like 91)... so when we go crazy insiting on 99/ron100 type optimax/tesco stuff do we really need to? Do they run less boost on the zeds out there? I understand higher boost requires more octance petrol to avoid detting if possible as a safe guard.. but do we really need extra octane?

350z Manual Gearbox In a 300zx?
im no expert but this does kinda smack of lots of £££ to get little back, a rebuild of your 300 box with slight change in the ratios and lightened fly/decent clutch would in all likelyhood make a bigger difference for less cash. also you would have more support and access to skilled techs should anything ever go wrong... I can not see many people happy to repair a 300 witha 350 box ba$terised to fit init... IMHO

hicas boss
the hicas light will come on in about 5 mins of driving.. mine does the same... the hicas doesnt work at all, but i can not see any reason why it would be an mot fail... hicas is fairly specialised and the mot isnt exactly a comprehensive check. not about your cruise.. any chance you still have the buttons from your stock wheel and the wires? just i would like (somehow) to re intregrate the cruise to my z, but the other owner just threw the stock wheel when it was replaced...
