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,

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
