You guys can keep your screamer......but im gonna LMFAO when i read a post in the Wanted Section about needing a stock dump pipe cause you got defected and copped a 10k fine from the EPA for bypassing your Cat.

The 10k fine for bypassing a cat or not using a cat is bullshit. You'll simply get defected and be sent away to get the car inspected. The 10k fine is for WORKSHOPS if found not fitting cats to cars. I've been defected for not running a cat and all I had to do was bolt one on and it was fine.

:P I remember that. Never heard of what happened until now.

but the fact that it's illegal and STINKS out anything it drives past with toxic f*king gasses is shitty.

It annoys me when it's used on the street with regular driving because of the noise and smell.

there is a reason for a Cat converter and the fact that it is being bypassed causes massive toxic gases..

Go hug a tree, hippy. Oh, and if you have one single mod on your car (air filter, bov, exhaust) you've also changed emissions on your car. So stop. Pot. Kettle. Black.

sorry DICK.

those things change emissions yes.

but the altered emmisions are still going through the cat and somewhat cleaned up.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
