Hi guys, doing another metalcat group buy over at aus300zx.com so wondering if anyone here is interested? The only size I can do at the moment is 3.5" due to limited stock coming over from the US. Also due to complications with the last GB i ran metalcat no longer offer a flanged (bolt on) version of the cat, only unflanged. This is an easy job for your exhaust shop or you may wish to weld straight to dump pipes to eliminate weight (flanges are heavy) and potential leaks. Hopefully you all know these cats and have seen the ads in Zoom etc

Features

  • Polished Stainless Steel Construction
  • Unique 200 cell design
  • EPA and CARB compliant with numbers stamped onto the body of the cat
  • Street Legal
  • Outflows the competition

Price: $300 including delivery anywhere in AUS

Stock Availability: At the moment there are 50 cats on their way from the US via air-freight so they should be available by the end of October

Timegrame for Group Buy: Cutoff date will either be when the cats land or when I get 7 buyers, whatever happens first

Supplier: I'm buying direct from the AUS importer PSI

Please PM me to confirm an order, i will need 100% of the money upfront so please feel free to ask for any details phone number/address/etc

Also just to clarify there is no minimum number needed for this group buy as I alreayd have the required number of orders from the aus300zx.com forum. This is just a chance to add to that order.

any idea when these are gonna be sent? they arrived in aus yet?

Hi mate, no not in AUS yet they were ordered a couple of weeks ago. Don't know when they will land but they are coming via air-freight so no big delays there, just a matter of customs doing their thing... As soon as I have them I will send yours out.

Update -had an email from PSI these are due next week. There are only 50 of these coming in for the whole of AUS and then no more. If you want one please get your money in ASAP while I can still add to my order.

So far I have only received payment from TTOMIE

Might be interested, so these are the Legit "metalcat" cat 3.5"

Just read a few worrying stories about them :s

Yep they are the legit metalcat brand imported by PSI Australia. The ones with warranty...

I have organised two group buys on these (close to fifty cats in total) and have yet to hear of any problems. I've been using them on my own car (300zxTT) for around two years without issue.

Hi mate sent you a PM. Honestly I don't know what difference it will make on a dyno compared to open pipe, I would be very interested to see actually.

Need the money ASAP as once they land in AUS they'll be sent out to me and I won't be able to add to the order.

Can you confirm the warranty offered is full replacement and not "replacement at reduced cost" which seems to be the line Metalcat have been taking recently.

I only know of two metallic substrate cat manufacturers that offer no questions asked replacements, Metalcat aren't one of them.

If however PSI are offering the warranty, then I can't see a problem :D

Have sent an email to clarify -never heard of a reduced cost warranty but I've asked them just to be sure.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
