I place all the praise and blame for the course on Ben & Kristi, they did
all the work on that one.

Yeah, but then we would have just tossed out the fun runs and still finished
on time.

It isn't just the Twin Turbos, all the late model 300ZXs do it (Both my and
David Parker's non-turbo 300ZXs for instance). The driver's side PCV pickup
on the VG30DE and VG30DETT motors is WAY too close to a pool of oil in the
crank case, so when under heavy Gs in a right hand turn, espeically when
lifting off the throttle to get a good vacuum going, it'll suck oil into the
intake. Often this oil will just sit around the intake plenuum for a while
until you next launch hard, which is why they all seem to smoke so bad at
the starting line. I've installed a quite smog-illegal PCV catch can system
on my car so I never smoke any more, but all the rest of the guys were
getting lots of smoke from oil picked up in that sharp 160 degree right
hander.
