At first I was really scared thinking my head gasket was blown, I looked if the muffler had white smoke or liquid coming out of it, as well as a bubbling radiator or even flushing one. the motor and car seems to be fine, not sure if its meant to release this much petrol or gas sorta smell.

its a pretty big cannon and is equipped with piping all the way through.

is the smell normal to be smelling a lot more than usual exhausts? Like when I drive with the windows down I can smell it fairly.

Is it a petrol or gas smell? What conditions make it worse? Is it worse on idle?

Your car could just be running rich. I had a distinct petrol smell in my R32 gtr when it was idling stationary. Had it retuned it it's gone. Was just very rich.

By the use of the word "fregging" and nature of your question, I take it you're still quite young and this is your first turbo car. Welcome! ! You may not have a cat installed.... If everything else appears to be normal this may be your problem.

Sounds like the cat is non existent, I run a cat in mine and it has a more bearable exhaust smell than my V6 Accord which has had the cat bashed out (decided to collapse)

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
