It could almost be anything, but first thing comes to mind would be spark plugs. How much mileage is on your car and what year is it (not that it really matters, but helpful). Did you buy it used from a private party or from a dealership? Nissan did have a recall of their ignition relay stalling the car, but I kinda highly doubt that. Give us more info about your car and we'll progress from there.

Could be anything. Blown head gasket, oil leaking into the cylinders, or anything else.
Needs to go to an engine mechanic, or a gearhead friend.

Pull the codes. Excess fuel is black, dark gray. Oil is blueish. Antifreeze is white smoke. Keep in mind you can have combination's of the general colors. Seeing that it is time to change plugs go ahead and change them, the condition/deposits on the plug can also give insight into the running conditions of the motor.

Could also be coolant leaking into the cylinders. Could be any number of things.
Usually when a fluid is leaking into the cylinders, you blew a gasket.
Main gasket to check is the intake gasket, under the lower plenum.
But usually when you buy gaskets, it's a whole set.
Look all around your engine for anything visible on the outside of it. Look for leaks of anything, especially around the gaskets.

I'm always at the 190th and Anza meet thursday nights.

Start by changing the spark plugs and go from there. Most likely they weren't changed so that's what I would do before jumping to the conclusion.
