Whites normally a coolant leak /burning but on cold mornings could be alot of condensation built up in pipes but should burn off, not an expert but when i decatted my 300zx tt it went white for a while and was put down do the turbo seals after decat dont want to worry you as said i`m no expert.

Lots of white with a de-cat. Its normal for this time of year and the colder it gets the more it will notice. Wait till its really cold and let it idle from cold start. the amount of white smoke is almost scary

Mine smokes a bit in the mornings now, but clears soon enough once its warm. Starting my landy in the cold is funny. Plumes of white/blue/stinking smoke! Big ole petrol engine, straight through pipes and an unhealthy amount of abuse
