forget what the code was said small emission leak I understand this is the same as a vacuum leak just one of the old hoses or something has a crack in it.Gonna put some plugs in it too.Only has 72K on it.Has a hught Nismo cold intake on it and huge like 4.5" dual exhausts I think I seen some that look like it called "Invada" or something.I had a guy in a Nismo tell me my car is faster than stock he said he was going to pass me in his car but he could not do it.

Alright.. I wanted to know what the actual code was because ''small emission leak'' is kinda' vague.. I don't know if it's a vacuum leak. Could be. The code would help isolate that opinion. Invada? You mean, Invidia, most likely. Eh, who knows. A lot of factors come into play when you race someone.

Well here is something interesting:the check engine light went off so I guess the car healed itself.Still getting bad MPG got some new NGK Iridium's to put in.Still going to take it into the shop.

well yes and no.It has a nismo cold air intake with a cleanable filter like the K&N type that have to be oiled I forget the brand name of the filter but it looks clean to me,I think those types are good for many miles before they have to be cleaned,the intake is huge.only like 5,000 miles put on in a year only like 20k put on since 2008 car has 73k on it.I am thinking this car may have a performance tune on it or something I am going to get it dynoed one day and find out only cost $80
