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 :(

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
