Finally Got My Skyline!

On thursday i picked up my skyline, I had the weekend to drive around and get used to it. the twin plate clutch is a bitch but im slowly gettin used to it, and the power too. :)

But when i first looked at the car i noticed there was no cat. however i couldnt remember what the exhaust looked like on the day,but the guy said hel put a cat on for me.So when i picked it up i had a look underneath, and i noticed it has the 3" turbo back but there is no sign of a flanged cat.Now from the turbo down until about underneath the back seat there is nothing then it looks like there are 2 resonators one about 6 inch then just after is another one about a foot long then it goes back to the muffler and out.

SO can it be that the 6 inch one is a high flow cat. because there isnt a flanged one in there? if anyone has pics of what a high flow cat lookes like please post em up.

il get some pics tomorow on the situation. i really dont want to get hammered by EPA for no cat.

cheers

Neil

If it's welded on and not flanged bolted in then theres a good chance they're both resonators. How big is it at a guesstimate in diameter? You said 3 inch piping, so if it's only around 4 inch and is circular, like the foot long one then probably resonators. most of the high flowed cats i've seen have been pretty angular and at least 4 inches and 6 inches across. Get a pic of it if u can but i'd say they both just resonators

thats a nice car, i had one as well. In my opinion the Series II is better then the original. Series one reminds me of a magna when seeing at at the front, where as this one has a sharp look to it. I had heaps of mods on it as well, apexi power fc,intercooler,injectors, sway bars,exast etc etc etc i had it all apart from the turbo,

still i made 203.13kw at the wheels on 15 so it wasnt too bad... trust me man keep the car they are really nice, and congrats once again

    • They did get back to me. First response is from the mechanic that did the work. The problem is that the information that followed wasn't in the original report, which again, I let car inspect know should have been provided and influenced my decision to buy. Ball is back in their court and they have 5 more days to respond.  The actual structural damage was not a complete write off as they had me originally believe.  It just needed to be corrected properly and cleanly as opposed to the botch job of whoever did it last on the rad support and undercarriage. Smoothed out the scrappy welds and did it properly plus painted.
    • Haven't updated this is a while. -5 speed conversion is done. Then center console, parking brake handle, and mounting bracket can be adapted from a R34 since the S2 parts are all disco. Console is a slightly different grain pattern and color but works fine. R33/ R34 GTS (no booster) clutch pedal works as well as the matching master cylinder. Wiring is simple, jump the starter connector at the fuse box, note which wires are connected at which position on the auto neutral safety switch and cut off the switch harness and connect to the corresponding switch on the 5 speed. -Rear R34 rear subframe swap is completed. Full Nismo arm set, 2-way LSD set up soft, 322mm Brembo brakes, Ohlins Flag-R coil overs (need to drop the spring rate 1Kg) -RB swap is under way. HKS Step 2 High Response 2.8 BCD stroker kit / Step 2 V-Cam / GTIII 4R Kit I may not use the 4R kit but not sure yet as I've seen some pretty decent dyno sheets on it and it doesn't spool as slow as people think when you have v-cam. I have the wiring manual for the car and a spare 260RS harness so the wiring shouldn't be that bad but I just haven't had the time to invest in it. If anyone has a suggestion for someone who can handle it let me know! I have a bunch of spare 5mt swap parts and some Nismo 580 turbos if anyone needs/wants them hit me up. Located in California but willing to ship. As always, thanks to all the members who have answered my questions and helped this project keep moving!      
    • Did Car Inspect get back to you? How bad was the actual "structural" damage? What front surgery was required?
    • I would be, however the last PS I owned was a PS1 and the last GT I played was GT1 lol. Also, how do you dads even have time to do anything? I barely have time to even sleep 7 hours a night!
    • I was thinking of setting up a multiplayer comp. Just a series that anybody could join and we could run a table here.  Anybody interested in that?
