ok, where do i start. a mate called who is into all things Nissan so took him for a spin in my Z to give him an idea of the power. made it 100 yards. Engine died. Thats ok i fiddled with a few connection and she fired up again after a few mins so got it home. Connected my conzult and it read code 11. so at least i knew what it was. connection was all broken and corroded so i changed it as well as the water temp sensor as that came up on the conzult too. Now took off the air intake pipes to access the connection and put the right side one on wrong ( didnt cover the throttle body correct) so when i started it blue smoke filled the garage. oh crap. fixed the pipe and it seemed to cure it but am very worried about it now. Then i decided to clean more connection and started on the injectors and hold crap they were green with corrosion. so done that. so need to ask 2 questions.1 with the intake pipe not fitted rite would that cause a garage full of smoke. 2 does anybody out there have some intake pipes i could have cheapish as i have left an obscene amount of money in her lately (full respray) and it has me broke. Apart from all that she runs really sweet and am tryin to get her in 100% condition bit by bit.

Thanks lads and ladets

leaving the pipe off the throttle boidies shouldn't cause the engine to blow smoke (have run a few with pipes off and no smoke) unless there was an oil residue around the gap in the pipe/throttle that had been drawn in. otherwisw, maybe a coincidence??

 

can't help with saucing the pipes though, sorry:)
