hey guys im just changing the stock cat on my GTR to a new x-force piece.

just wondering is there any difference between a cat for BNR32 and HCR32.?

the new cat i have looks exactly the same and fits on perfect, however the exhaust temp sensor hole on the new cat is up the other end (of the cat) to what the one on the stock location is, and my sensor wire//cord does not reach the hole to screw in..

now the cat does have a flow direction indicator on it which i have installed so as the arrow (for direction of air flow) points to the rear of the car.

have i goosed something up and put it on the wrong way or is this cat i have actually for a HCR32 model.?

cheers.!

I always thought 32Gtr and 32Gtst cats were the same because it is very common for people with a gtst to install the gtr cat. A possibility is to not run the sensor at all. The sensor does not effect how your engine runs in any way. However it does let you know if your exhuast starts to overheat which i have never heard of happening.

I do know 100% that your correct in saying the arrow on your cat is pointing in the same direction as the exhaust flow.

Um, isnt that the O2 sensor? If it is, you do kinda need that!! And the GTS-T and GT-R cats are completely different, the GT-R cat is the best you can get, better than most aftermarket cats, which is why they are so expensive. If you find one, buy it!! Can you extend the wires by cutting them and soldering a new section to them? Make sure the solder is of decent quality and covered. Otherwise, gut the cat and weld a pipe through the centre. I would never do it, but you might get an extra 3kw!

Ok its definitly not an 02 sensor. If it was an O2 sensor why would they put if after the cat??????? (cat removes unburnt fuel & cat sensors unburnt fuel)

I am 99% sure its a heat sensor.

Ohh and when i ment they were the same. They are interchangable, the gtr cat is obviously better.

Pretty sure you can't solder the wires either because the sensor/wires get that hot it would melt the solder off again.

I'd say ditch the sensor.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
