smoking out of the exhaust please help!!!!
Oh Man that's rather unfortunate... Of course I don't know for sure, but it sounds like your rings are toast.
I had a POS 2003 altima 3.5 that had that the exact issue you are having. Turned out to be fried rings @ 135K Miles. How many miles on your motor???

If your compression is good, you have good compression rings. You assume the oil ring below it is good too, usually... But that doesn't tell us about valve guides. Those usually smoke in the morning, and the smoke goes away as you drive down the street.
You have OBD codes? What are they?
And as I recall, the PCV system is a mess too. I'd fix that before you go further.
