Kaan W Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 In 8 years my supra has never smoked be it first start up or flat out Smoked or steamed? A brand new bently will smoke on start up as its condensation in the exhaust burning off. A byproduct of combustion is water vapor. When the exhaust system is very cold, the water condenses, so you see the steam and some water dripping out of the tail pipe. When the exhaust system is hot, where the water vapor cannot condense, no more "smoke". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 All cars smoke when there cold, you need to drive it around a little bit warming it right up then see if its still smoking. Mine smokes loads in the morning when freezing but in hot weather none at all. So it only smokes when its cold weather ? i think you'll find its not smoke that's coming out your exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) So it only smokes when its cold weather ? i think you'll find its not smoke that's coming out your exhaust I know that Im trying to keep it simple for people to understand. To some people its the same thing but thats why I said to let it warm up to then recognise weather its smoke or "smoke" Edited December 30, 2012 by Kaan W (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) I think that just confuses the matter to be honest, smoke is down to burnt oil/petrol. Steam which is what your describing is down to water/moisture which is mostly in your exhaust. So the question is, does the steam/smoke clear once this na is warmed up ? if not its smoke and i'd go look elsewhere.

Yeah but it would be a pita to get the valve stem seals done new piston rings etc to find out its just condensation. Its surpprising how many people confuse the two lmao.

Radio Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Interesting..........I notice you live in west yorkshire , yet you have seen this car in St Helens. Going off the thread, I think you could proberly do better for 3k. Do just jump in, there's plenty of good cras out there. Like Havard I'm not far from this car and again have not seen it about. If Paul dosent know it, then its never been to a northwest meeting in the past few years, so the dealer could have brought to St helens from anywhere. Why not come to the next northwest meeting and talk to the members at length. They will give you good unbiased views and maybe put you on to a member known car. Or a meeting near to your home.

Food for thought. Good advice here. The info you will get by talking to current owners, with decades of combined ownership years will be invaluable! As some have said, In todays market 3k is a bit high for that car, even if you knocked him down a bit. Don't rush in when there are plenty of cracking examples out there, most of which are known/owned by forum members meaning there 'progress' can be tracked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 The NW s very active although I personally haven't attended many in the last 12 months. There should be a few being organised when (if) the weather improves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
