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.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
