Confused
Ok, I have a 94 3000gt. Here is the situation:
I have had the car for a couple of months and had no issuses with it until about two months ago. My thermostat shot up above H so instantly I pulled over and checked everything. All my fluids were fine so I checked my hoses thinking maybe it had a kink in it or something and of course everything was ok. I got back in and cranked it up and it was back to normal. Which made me think it was the thermostat itself, probably stuck. So I took care of that...or so I thought. It did again a couple more times this time though I was low on fluid so I filled it up and went on my way. Now all of this happened during warmer weather, once it cooled off I had no issuses with it at all. Which leads me to think my car thinks it's a turbo and likes cold weather better or it's just insane. Now here's the crazy part, it has sinced warmed up where I am at and once again I have problems with it all over again. But this time it is something different. The other day I noticed white smoke coming out of my exhaust. When I checked it it was water but it was only coming out of the exhaust on the driver's side and the other set of exhaust was bone dry. Which makes me think it might be the head gasket. My temp gauge will also creep up a little bit but nothing beyond normal.
If anyone has some sort of clue as to what it going on with my car I would greatly appreciate it. This is a project car and I knew work would have to be done. I just want to make sure it is the right work that is being done.
To all who can help thanks in advance.

RE: Confused
Also would it be blowing white smoke all the time or just at idle?
