the hiflow cat is an oxymoron.

It should be called the 'no-flow cat'. Remove it and the power will rise especially at the boosting point onwards. Have a look inside a so called hiflow cat and you will notice that the cross section is well over 50% (very conservative) blocked by catalyst.

You can easily get a de-cat pipe made with a convenient 3 bolt flange so you can remove and replace for street or motorsport.

if you're interested in a hf cat, a guy on these forums can get catco 3 inch ss for about 160 i think. check the fs section

as for punching the cat, ive *heard* that this causes turbulance that will slow u down if anything. but wen my mate did it, his car felt a lot quicker, so who no's?

but if u wanna risk it, or for track, then id say get a catout pipe too - no restrictions there...

In some countrys cat convertors are banned!! Why you ask? Well as soon as they are passed there used by date (approx 40K-60K Klms) they stop working and start putting out very bad emmisions indeed. After speaking to some people in the automotive industry, its quite abviously a nice little scam indeed. Don't feel bad if you don't have one, as long as your car is in good tune the enviroment is probably better off than with a clogged/stuffed cat.

MAN I AGREE TOTALLY WITH THE TONKAU, CATS ARE A LOAD OF SHITE THEY NEVER WORK UNLESS THYRE NEW

ANYWAYS FOR ALL YOU TREE HUGGERS WORRIED ABOUT EMISSIONS DON'T BUY A SKYLINE AS THEY ARE THE WORST FOR EMISSIONS ANY WONDER WHY THE JAPS AREN'T MAKING THE RB SERIES ENGINE??? AND IF YOU ARE A TREE HUGGER BUGGER OFF OUR SITE

Hi.

I've heard this before,

is there anyway to prove that if you were caught without a cat at all, some sort of Cert or something

SIKR33: calm down:)

When your car gets 'complied', they replace the CAT for that exact reason...

Dont mean to highjack the thread but does this apply to personal compliance aswell? Cause my cat was MESSED up when i bought it. Personal compliance tho....they let you get away with a few things aye :D I had snow tyres on my beast when i bought it :blah:

Nasty Nasty things in wet conditions :(

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
