Gas Leak.. Nos? :p

[nathanau]

Hello, Wondering if anyone can pin point a gas/emission problem?

I have a R34, is top condition, everything has been cared for without expense on the car/maintenance, i doubt its a lack of care thing the car is suffering....

Recently I noticed that on hard or fast acceleration i.e entering the freeway, any speeds over 100Ks a gas like mist begins coming into the car up from around the gear stick leather cover. If the sun (rare these days....) shines in the car I can physically see the gas escaping into the cabin.

It smells like gas from the air con or a gas cylinder but not as distinct or pungent as that type of gas. I don’t think it is the air con as that is fully gassed, all works fine and it well would have run out of gas by now if it was the air con.

With the Turbo lightly running and sitting on 110ks the gas disappears after a while, but accelerate up to 130Ks (on the freeway) the gas/mist pours back into the cabin, But without really driving the turbo, all gas mostly disappears again. If anyone might be familiar with this problem id really appreciate any advice. Thanks in Advance. ☺

exhaust leak?

i dont think so, ill check this out in more detail, it had an exhaust overhaul about 3 weeks back and the gas is still coming in, so was present before and after but perhaps their could be a leak more toward the engine, also, the smell, it is far from an exhaust type emission smell, its more like Gas, and if it was exhaust id begin to feel sleepy or have some effect which i dont on long drives.

ummm yer i did have an exhaust overhaul 3 weeks back, was up ( or down graded) to pass DECC and height clearances as well....., the gas was coming into the car B4 and after. Im certain it is gas only the air con is perfect, id swear it is from that.
