Hi,
Iam Aben Dean from Fiji Islands. I have bought a 1999 GU Nissan Patrol with NA TD42 (done 275k kms) its putting out little bit of white smoke at idle. Any idea what it can be?? Doesnt give out white smoke when i rev....however it gives out little bit of black smoke as i rev harder. any help would be appreciated so i know where to begin with - Thanks
Compression?? Cylinder heads??
Over to you Tony ...
I saw one literally yesterday at the mechanics that was blowing white smoke and had done cylinder 3 - are you getting any lack of power and/or response from it?
Meanwhile at the batcave, how about slipping over to the introductions section Aben and posting up some information about you and your rig - no harm done at all mate, but something we ask for as a courtesy and to let people know who they are yapping with - you'll find you get a better response generally also ...
That said - welcome aboard and hope you stick around, great place full of top information and people.

thanks, no loss of power i guess. runs well..........
Black smoke is fine under revs its a diesel thing, white at idle however could be steam not a good thing ,would indicate water in the cylinder/s, either head gasket or buggered head
IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Back to the OP. White smoke can be a problem and you are right to start looking fro reasons. The Black Smoke is a winner mate. It's a Diesel and Black smoke is fuel, no problem at all.
How old is the fuel filter mate? are you in Fiji? what are the chances of this seeing very little servicing in its life? Do a fuel filter change and bleed and you may just have a little air or water in the system?? (outside chance but worth a look)
Ynot may be your man mate and he will be around at some point i am sure.
