What causes my 96 Nissan pickup 4cyl engine to chatter rattle when first started and then runs quiet?

This is a common and unique problem with the Z24 engine. It is cause by the timing tensioner seeping oil while shutdown. The chain actually rattles on it's housing until oil pressure is built up again and brings the timing chain to the appropriate tension again. I have a 1996 Nissan Pickup with about 150,000 miles on it and it has done it since it had about 50,000 miles (I bought it new with 12 miles on it).
I would assume that the constant rattling at startup would lead to a reduce lifespan of the timing chain, but it is actually not common for one to snap. One of those strange anomalies that we live with, because the trucks are so great (and otherwise bulletproof!) The god awful noise it makes when the steering wheel is turned to the limits to the right and allowed to roll forward or back is another, normal bad sounding thing!

What are some possible causes of a 300ZX putitng out a little smoke when first started?
Valve seals are dried out and need replacing if it is blue smoke. Black smoke is a sign of a overly rich condition. White smoke is a sign of coolant in the engine combustion chamber. Have this looked at by a professional ASAP. If it is indeed a coolant leak, as in a blown head gasket, serious engine damage can occur. Some steam from the tail pipe at startup is normal, and without seeing it, I could not say for sure.
