What category of racing and where?

I'll come and watch.

Hope the poofteenth of a kW power you gain from removing the cat makes a difference.

spoken like someone who has never run a cat-out pipe, they make a noticeable difference to mid range and throttle response.

D1 Garage in SA can get them for you as well www.d1garage.com

Another option is get an exhaust shop to weld a pipe through an old cat, a mate got it done in SA for $40 - bashing the guts out doesnt tend to have the same results from what I have been told (by tilbrook auto and dyno in SA).

gazza, cats are pretty much a standard size on nissan.

Yep! It's basic physics I guess eh :) When exhaust gases are allowed to expand a few inches either way (in a bashed out cat) they slow down, then must also rapidly speed up to exit the cat again. Not very efficient, and definitely not as efficient as a straight pipe that maintains the diameter which keeps the gases flowing the same speed.

Pipes mine !!! hehe, Thanks gazza750, lol R34 It is actually going on an track spec r32 to replace a collapsed compliance cat so chill, also just for amusement, take a look at nz they dont have to run cats by law, they have done tests, a car in decent condition with a decent tune can still pass an emissions test, And, after around 60thousand kays, Cats are saturated and filter out nothing if not they add to the emissions, so there,

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
