Mark, JeffTT, z32bolt......What would happen if the valve on the PCV gets stuck open??? Just reading a few threads recommending replacing them with new ones......... people blaming them for smoke from one bank.....??? Sorry, trying to think of something small and silly that could be another reason......lol Russ

Mark, what about the EGR picking oil up from exhaust and sending it back to the manifold?????

Took off rear qtr panel on N/S and there is some rust in there, but appears to be surface rust........ but going to try to have a better look when I have somewhere to put the interior when it comes out..... Building a shed to house car parts now....so may be a week before I actually get to pull the interior.... Mrs is none too happy another shed is growing in the garden for the car.....lol

I was thinking of cutting out the jacking point and replacing with right angle piece of metal closing the holes, separate piece for floorpan beaten to sort of match angles.... Going to get angle grinder tomorrow and cut out what needs to go and clean up what's left..... Tried Mike for new floorpan section, he can get sill parts but not floorpan.... Looks like fabrication is the only option left.... Any thoughts?

Started by wire brush on drill over front N/S floorpan and found a cover up job over accident damage...... the floorpan had been badly buckled, outer sill replaced, front seat mount replaced and all covered with filler, seam sealer and tons of underseal.... After cleaning most of the muck off I found 3 tears in the floor, 2 holes in the bottom of the sill where it meets the floorpan, the jacking point is half rusted away and the front corner where the floorpan meets the front bulkhead and sill has rotted away.....

Well picked up welder on saturday morning and some argon / co2 bottles, cheap welding mask and gauntlet gloves...... Gonna go get some steel offcuts tomorrow and have a practice...... The welder looks used but in good condition for £80..... I am going to lift carpet and check sills tomorrow, so I will try and get some pics if I can...... Checked boot and No rust to be seen..... looks like targa leak, but full of muck round seals...... gonna run some plastic strimmer wire down the drain tubes to check they are clear.......... Did the same on my saab.... I have side skirts bonded to bodywork so hard to check as most of the sill is enclosed...... so can't poke it unfortunately.... Gonna try and pull qtr panel to check as well...... Might even get the wire brush on drill out and the flapper wheels on the polisher and try to find good clean metal...... gonna remove the underseal, rust and dirt from under the car.... Any advice on how to form the jacking points from sheet steel???????????? Thanks.... Russ

I used my tongue....... tastes nice.........lol

Hi all, could I just ask Jeff TT and the other knowledgeable people here if the problems could be PCV valve problems? I found a write up of a similar problem and wondered if it could just be the same problem?? http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/main/view/1101340/PCV-reroute-blowing-smoke.html Only an idea, just thought I would put it forward as a possible cause ?? Hope someone can help with this Dicky96....... I just keep thinking if the engine was okay and I know it was fitted by experienced quality company..... maybe it was something silly, something ancillary?? Maybe wrong..... Russ

I need to get his OCD moved over to my car for a while.......Hmmmmm..... Hypnotism??? lol......

Not gonna happen is it!........lol

Hi SteveE, I got a DVD " last stand " with Arnie...... 2 cards and a lot of cuddles........ day has started well...... Gonna have some dad time and test my new welder later......lol Didn't get breakfast, but probably a good thing as I need to lose a load more weight.....But a bacon and egg buttie sounds sooooooo tempting......lol

Just looked at going this morning and realised it would be over 3 hours to get there......lol Might have to wait till somewhere nearer and the Z is back on the road.......lol Have a good day everyone..... Russ

Hi Can I chip in an idea..... lol You will need a multimeter with buzzing continuity setting if you connect the 2 probes together. Remove the fuse, voltage test the fuse holder to see which side goes to the 12v live. Insert probe into side that isn't the 12v live. This is the one connected to your problem somewhere down the line..... Connect the other probe to a good earth on the car. If it buzzes straight away then there is a short somewhere down the line continuously...... If it is constantly buzzing, start unplugging things one at a time to see if it stops. If unplugging it doesn't stop it then just reconnect. Try gently wiggling wires as you go, but be gentle they get very brittle.... If there is No constant buzzing then try wiggling wires and connectors gently to see if it does buzz..... This may show you the problem by creating the short that blows the fuse.... Hope this is understandable....... Russ

And there's a pound on the floor.....lol All the work you are putting in looks superb..... For a while I thought you were polishing the underside of floor pan....Looks like nice clean metal there..... I would love to have time and somewhere to do work like this......
