RaseR,

Ceramic inside cats will always flow less because the substrates are all 400csi.

The highest flowing ceramic substrate cat is the 3" catco large body, and from memory this flows at 475-480CFM.

Before the metal inside cats hit the market, this was the highest flowing cat, so even though it doesnt flow as much as the catco metal cat, it still does an excellent job with regards to flow and eliminates the bottleneck of the 2 or 2.5" compliance cat/stock cat.

cheers

rb26s13,

yes it has the same insides as the metal cat (200ccsi cell), except the metal cat has a 4" body with the 4" substrate. thats why the catco metal cat flows higher (5" body, 5" substrate).

let me know definately and i'll add you to the list.

cheers

actualy mines 4inch in and out.. 5inch body metal cat i quite literaly mean it looks identical.. mate doesnt want one now so yer will pass on that

EGA41T,

the metal catco cats are out of stock, catco will have some more in less than 2 weeks. i will get a 2nd GB going for those that missed out or couldnt make it financially this time around.

k3,

thats normal, as the small and large body cats both have G2K written inside.

thanks to all who pm'd me regarding the payments and who let me know they received the cat.

cheers

thanks to those people who participated in the GB.

most of you have paid and received the cats. i will run a 2nd GB since the catco metal cats have run out and some people have missed out on these, and others couldnt make the payment in time. can all those who still havent made payment please do so by end of today and PM me your address details.

cheers,

Michael

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
