okay so i just got my nismo with 0 miles a few days ago. and im not sure how exactly i should take care of a new car since it is my first. i stay under 4k rev and baby the clutch as much as i can (new at driving clutch). Here's my problem when i get out i smell a funny smell and no not clutch but more of an exhaust leak kind of smell. is it common to have that occur since everything is new?

It's fine. It will go away after about a tank of gas. Just follow the break-in proceedure in the manual and you'll be fine.
