Well i have a 93 (s13) 180sx sr20det redtop, its been off the road since i bought it 6 months ago, and now i want to get it on the road. lol anyways to make a long story short its putting out alot of white smoke and idling rough, when i start it, it idles at 1500 rpm for awhile until it warms up then it goes to 900/800 and kinda vibrates or idles rough. my big concern is that the oil level is increasing and smells lightly of petrol.I recently changed the oil and oil filter to see if it would do any good but it hasnt.

up until this i would start the car at least once every 2 weeks, and i had no problems at all, the problem started when i put petrol in the car a few weeks ago. after i put the petrol in it and started it, i was waiting for the car to warm up when after 2 minutes the car started spluttering and died out.

Any help would be appreciated! cheers.

Sounds almost like you got some bad gas. You may need a tune up or have some bad injectors.

I have never personally cleaned injectors but there are kits and cleaners out there that you can use to do that. Just do a little research.

I want to say you have a blown headgasket or warped head the white smoke would indicate coolant or water is being burned running rough would be the misfire from lack of compression and coolant possibly could be filling up your oil is there alot of bubbles in your coolant or is the oil milky or very light looking?
