Smelling gas or exaust one or the other.

Okay i have a 91 300zx TT and im starting to smell gas or exaust, may be a mixture of both, but anyways im assuming i have an exaust leak perhaps? Any other suggestions? If it is a leake then how much is it gonna run me to fix it?

Smell gas and exhaust from where? And when? After what? When you start it up or after you turn it off? Inside or outside the car (I'm assuming outside since if you were smelling exhaust inside the car you would probably be drifting off into a blissful slumber right before your car hits a telephone pole). Post some more details.

This might be off topic but I just noticed, what is that little sticker on your front bumper Broke as ****?

but its more of a gas smell. It may be from the outside but its just that strong who knows. im going to get it checked out today. Also im feeling heat comming from inside the floor. I saw steam come out from the consoul yesterday as well. it didnt really have a smell it was just steam from something. Oh and i smell the gas when im driving.

The only thing I can think of that would steam in the interior (unless it was smoke from some electric piece but that has a very distinct odor) would be that your heating system that draws hot coolant from the engine has a leak. It would be sort of a sweet antifreeze smelling steam. That might also explain the increased heat.

As for the gas smell. Well there is a leak somewhere so start checking for drips, slime trails where gas has been running down some piece of metal and for the strongest source of the smell. Could be anywhere in the fuel system.

And the sticker on the front reads "Jim Wolf Technology", the "Jim" is sideways so it looks like a "J" infront of the "Wolf". The previous owner before the guy I bought it from had installed the JWT intake and ECU, guessing thats when those got on. The sticker in the rear window is "Nismo" in some kind of jagged writing. And the car had a lame pair of Nismo seatbelt pads (How stupid is that?) that are now hanging on the wall just because they still kind of look cool with the writing on them. Maybe I'll knit them into a sweater or something...anyway...thinking I'll keep the stickers...they add to the car a little, give it some detail...that and even with all the go fast parts on my engine bay will still look dead stock so the ricer-ish type stickers will give me more sleeper cover as it were.

Just took it to the nissan dealership and its raw gas comming probably from the exaust. its running rich he says and he did a test, and the reading shows that their is a problem with one of the o2 censors. it will be further checked out monday.
