Oil looked okay.

You mean the third tick...the one way above the middle? If that's what you mean, your car is running WAY hot. The middle is supposed to indicate a temp of roughly 165-215. Your car is way past that if you're at the third tick. Unless I'm forgetting what the water temp gauge looks like...I use an Autometer one (haven't looked at the Nissan one in a while).
Anyway, that could be something to look in to.
As for the smoke, it could still be condensation, but it could be running rich. You could start by testing the O2 sensor like in the FSM. If that leaves you baffled, you could hook up a voltmeter and check the O2 sensor readings (ask someone else the best way to do that if that's what you want to do...I haven't done that). You'll obviously need some long leads and a good way of connecting the leads to the O2 sensor.
Yo.
