I am planning to machine a piece of stainless to sit inside the cat perfectly then weld in. finishing buy smothing off with a die grinder.

I guess it would be what you call a really high flowing cat :P

Spend a few hundred now and get a decent cat, or pay $10,000 later on for punching the cat out, i know which one i'd be doing.

qft.

Get a good exhaust shop to make you up an exhaust from turbo back, better still get one to make one from cylinder head back - they will want to know things like cam timing and turbo specifics, and it will probably cost a fair whack - But you'll have the best performance you are going to get on the street.

Also remember how people think. If you're driving around a show pony that just screams "book me" (or "race me" - they are the same thing) you are always going to get more hassles from your local law enforcement department.

You can have a performance exhaust with a cat, you just have to go about it the right way - like most things in life.

I would suggest that all of you who have or planning to punch out your cat go to the movies and see "An Inconvenient Truth" starring Al Gore. Or at least watch the trailer on yahoo or something. Freaking stirring stuff. It took a movie for me to actually stand up and give a shit about global warming...

Am i gonna join greenpeace or joing amnesty international or something? Hell No. But I will do my part to help prolong the life of this small planet.

"An Inconvenient Truth" = typical propaganda

lets leave that alone...

as for cat punching, well i had a 2.5" gutted on my car and changed to a 3" high-flow and noticed no difference in power

i even have the gutted 2.5" cat sitting my garage (in brisbane) if anyone wants to take it off my hands for $25 :P

I'm glad to see your doing your part to help global warming by intentionally losing your liscence. Well Done!!!

I have all 12 points on my licence thanks :D

Oh, and I also have a high flow perfomance catalytic converted... and last time I heard I couldn't lose points off my drivers licence for punching cats in the face...

So ummm... what the? ...what's with the hostility... hippy :) :lol:

Sorry Wilch...got you confused with mass_iv. You guys have such similar avatars!!!! No Hostility here...to you or mass.

Unless ur runnin big power a 3" high flow will do fine IMO. i have a pipe runnin through my cat on mine, and it was noticibly different from changing, still has the 02 sensor on the top so it looks like its still a cat...

the sound is mad, and either way getting attention from the cops from that sound is the last thing i gotta worry about since it happens as soon as they see the car, let alone hear it or even see under hood...

lol very true, typical american rubbish..like they know whats any good for the world, do they think about pollution when they start blowing everything up with missiles and bombs...no lol

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
