Well update on the skyline. Early on in diagnosing this rough idle i thought it might be a clogged injector. I pulled the rail and most of the injectors were missing parts of the plastic pintle cap. So I bought some 370cc stock flow deatschwerks injectors and installed them. Soon after I started get the smoking issue.

I didn't realize that deatschwerks didn't have the greatest reputation and thought maybe one of them was stuck open or one of their o-rings failed and was flooding the cylinder. So I figured i'd pull those out and go with legit oem injectors. I just installed them and no change to the smoking.

But fluid (oil or gas, now i'm not sure?) is no longer coming out in between the head and the exhaust manifold. Instead i've got a coolant leak coming from somewhere near the back of the block. It's a pretty good leak at this point.

So symptoms are a lot of white smoke (like a lot a lot) out of the tail pipe, some light smoke around the exhaust mani and turbo area, a coolant leak near the back of the engine. Also the stock boost gauge on the dash was showing 0 psi at idle. I just noticed that today, before it would show some vacuum at idle. I may have just not reconnected the vacuum line to the boost sensor. I've got to figure out where that is.
