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.

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.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
