Remove your heat shield and check your exhaust manifold/turbo gaskets.. the metal gaskets are prone to crack and break off leaving you a pain-in-the-ass to get to exhaust leak.

yup check those gaskets and the turbo extension gaskets too.

need new ones 300zx TT 90-96

also need oil and coolant because more than likely you'll have to pull the whole manifold from the car to replace. PITA.

update: i was driving the car around last night and i heard a clank sound then lil bits of scrapeing when i hit bumps. I pulled over onto the side of the road and looked under my car and my damn downpipe was almost hanging on the floor. I quickly drove to a friends house that was close by and jacked up my car to bolt it back up and snice he recently wecked his 300zx i took his 14mm bolts of his downpipe but the only thing is thati cant find that damn gasket i bolted it back on but it still is leaking, its a lil better but is still leaking. if anyone can help me with where you think i could find a gasket for a blitz ss downpipe or anybody have any extras id would be very greatful if you can sell it to me or somthing.
