I purchased the high flow metal catco one and I am quite happy with it. I also got the dump pipe but have to make a slight alteration before I can fit it, so I just running the catco cat with standard front pipe and apexi cat back exhaust on for now and I feel there is an improvement just from the high flow cat alone. Looking forward to having the front split pipe put on. :whistling:

I want to get the catco metal one, so PM me if you can organise another group buy for them through BATMBL, as I missed out on the last one and I think it was a decent saving.

I too got the 5 inch metal cat and the split dump pipe.

I figured for a little more money i'd never have to change it again, no matter what power levels i decided on aiming for. Also, your cat is always going to be the biggest restriction in your exhaust, so why not get the best one? An extra $200 now for a better cat when you've probably spent over a grand for the rest of the exhaust easy.

I notice a fair increase in power from the two together. Hard to say how much, but they say that to notice a change in power it would be in the range of 10-20kw more??

Also, the 5 inch cat (with the split dump) sits closer to the body of the car than the stock pipe and cat, but as it is bigger hangs about 1cm lower too (in my case). So no real difference, however it does scrape on my driveway sometimes (but so did my stock one.)

Has anyone had any problem's fitting the front/dump pipe and cat do there vehicle?

I remember reading in his post that there were problems with the oxygen sensor and the actual pipe was rubbing on the underbody?

It was a perfect fit - and this included fitting it to a new trust pe2 catback as well - great products (cant stress that enough)

for those of you who got the large body catco...any clearance issues if your car is lowered? I'm thinking of getting the small body one...

i actually bumped my cat going over those nasty thin but high speed bump. so now i have a leak that i have to fix up. been over it many times before and all other ones with no issues, just decided to scrape on this occasion. i avoid that road now ..haha.

as for fit on a 33 its a very snug fit. my advice is to heat wrap the waste gate pipe before installing as its almost touching the brake fluid piping. if you have abs it'll be a pain in the ass to do after let alone without it in my case. O2 sensor is fine. Also had to modify my head shield bracket to get it back on.

if only i knew all this before hey..ah well. as long as you guys know now =)

i still stick by as the best money ever spent though :)

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
