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...

what you got on youre car hillzy ?

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!

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
