just jap sell these. buy it through them on here, you'll get a good price.

i had one of these. they are ceramic inside. good price, average performance. they dont compare to a proper stainless internal high flow.

in my old r33 gtst and 32 gtr i cut the sensors off cause i couldnt get it out of the stock cat lol.

causes no damage if thats what your asking.

the way i see it (since they werent built track/race cars), i dont need a sensor to tell me my exhaust is hot lol

mmm my exhaust sensor wire got cut a while ago, the light in the dash came up and the check engine light eventually came up too. I've heard it doesnt affect anything but the lights in the dash annoy me and i want to get it fixed.

I'm hoping i just need the wires soldered together.

that isn't xforces high flow model, tho it does flow pretty good. it is a ceramic core

there is a higher flow metallic item, which flows upwards and over 800cfm depending on size

I was very dissapointed in mine, going from a gutted cat to this, because I have a white car and the carbon monoxide that normally gets filtered by the cat was turning my rear bar yellow that I had to keep cleaning off...

I used it for 20 mins, car was jerky and laggy, now have it sitting in my room... Im going to spend the cash and get a proper high flow metal cat....

It does well for me. Very noticable upgrade over a standand cat (which i had on with my turbo upgrade)

I was looking for a metal cat but wanted one bolt on and couldnt find one, so i went with the Xforce, and it still did me well :) A lot less lag and generally more power throughout the whole rev range

how can you tell if it's a metal cat? stainless steel exterior?

metal cat, the brand?

or just a metallic cat in general?

a metallic cat has a metallic core inside, instead of ceramic.

looks something like this

I just upgraded my exhaust to an xforce system... noticable difference over stock lol... as for cat i havent used a metal cat so have nothing to compare it too.

Although the temp sensor didn't fit into the cat!!!! I had to take it to a chop shop for them to drill out the stainless steel hole a little wider then it screwed in nicley lol.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
