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

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
