In the process of replacing my dump, front and cat. At the moment Catco seems to be promising, the guys from Xspeed recommended the HKS cat they've got down there. Anyone using the HKS cat at the moment? Or can recommend some good quality cats?

Feed back seriously appreciated.

DOS :)

Actually I'm about to get a dump/front and maybe ill do cat aswell... would love some reccomendations!

PS. XSpeed will be reccommending HKS because they are a HKS dealer, I'm sure HKS are great aswell but maybe there is better bang for buck if you know what I mean. That's what I'm interested to find out!

I just got my early christmas present from Nengun:

Blitz Nur Spec R catback, Blitz front pipe, tomei dumps and going to use 3" X-force cat (non metallic).

Spot the weakest link as far as brand name goes!

This will be close to the worst on the market me thinks.....but if it dies, I guess it was a cheapish experiment at $160 delivered.

not sure the difference between Japaneses brand name cat and aus spec brand name cat.

but on an option video there did a back-to-back dyno of r34 gtr with no cat then apexi cat. and with the apexi cat it only lost 7hp.

personally i dont think its worth it as Japaneses branded cat cost upwards of $500 :)

And as mention before Xspeed will try to sell you the product which they are a dealer of

Well I guess if my dies in the arse I'll just have to get it high flowed by Dr Hammer and Chisel :)

As you can see, I'm just trying to justify being a cheap-skate.

If I had my time again I'd probably spend the money on a Metal Cat or Catco (~$400-500).

I'm with mikey jap brand at >$500 is a bit much and would not justify the minimal gains over an equivalent Aus one.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
