hey guys,

i need a cat of some sort to suit my S2 R33 to fit my 3 inch cat back system im going to be putting on next week, because there was a rattling sound i would hear occasionally coming from the cat and/or slightly behind it and as i was told by the guy at Exhaust Technology that my cat is stuffed, so im looking for some sort of low cost replacement (hopefully something around 100 buck) for the time being - hopefully someone has something :), i was considering having no cat but im still unsure on this...

also on my car what is the exhaust diameter from the factory, and is this cat that i have pictured a factory cat?

hopefully you guys can help me out with some advice,

much appreciated,

p.a

I wouldn't risk running no cat, I think the fine is around $10,000. I'd love to just for the flames :)

I'm not sure of the stock exhaust diametre, sorry.

yeah youre right flames would be nice hehe, but yeah, not worth the risk ey.. i duno, just looking for a replacement cat then i guess...

Mine is sitting near my back door.......lol Whoops!!!

Have you heard of anyone getting a fine for this?? What about all those cars running straight pipes that get defected?? If a cop is gonna pull you over and defect you, they only say "too loud", among other things, then you go put your car back to stock(cat included) and off to regency!

I've never heard of anyone getting done for it.

Maybe it's just a scare tactic? $10k is enough to keep my cat on... for now anyway.

Did you know cats only have a limited life span, after 5-10years they're useless.

hey guys, thanks for the advice and thanks for the offer night crawler, but i already picked up a xforce cat off of Jack/BlueGTS last night..

also, just wondering, if i ask the exhaust shop doing my exhaust next week to make the cat back system but without a cat, would they do it ? or will they refuse

regards,

Does your rear bar get stained Ryan?

Yeh mine does too, But nothing a bit of polish wont fix!!

they should do it no matter what. their getting paid so there happy.

where u getting your exhaust done?

I think he said he's getting it done by Marky at ET(Top Choice) Just tell Mark you don't want it in there and bang he won't do it! You can pretty much drop your car off there and not say a word, and come out with a killa job!

hey guys, nah im getting it done at AAA Exhaust (down at richmond i think)

what are youre opnions on that shop, any good ?

also, you reckon they'll charge me extra for fitting another cat (that i will supply) at the same time as the cat back system ?

AAA are pretty good from what i've heard, I'm a loyal Marky fan, so AAA would be equal second best for me with D&T!

Not sure if they will charge you more, Maybe $20 for the extra little work, but in saying that they shouldn't! especially if they already quoted you on putting a cat in!

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
