Blue Smoke When Changing Gear?

[R34_GT-t]

Hi. :)

I've recently been told that my GT4 is smoking slightly when changing gear.

He said that when I pulled away (At normal speeds with the car cold)... when changing gear, a small amount of blue smoke would come out of the exhaust in a spiral shape... and would disipate very quickly.

The car isn't using any oil at all, so it can't really be much. Does this sound like it could be the start of the turbo oil seals going, as it's only doing it on gearchange. :)

Thanks for any advice. B)

yup, sounds like it i'm afraid, but on a lighter note it's a chance to upgrade :D

Cheers mate. :) Well, I suppose it's better it be the turbo than something internally in the engine. :D May have to upgrade to something special then. ;)

only does it when cold? if its ok when warm I wouldnt be too concerned

i never read the car cold par, thats usually just an early indicator that the seals are getting tired, be it the valve steams (unlikely) or turbo. but their not gone yet from the sounds off it

Thanks chaps. :) It's not using any oil, so I suppose it is fine. :D
