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

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
