Your standard type of High Flow Cat is usually a ceramic internal type, where the dearer Catco, X-Force and BPM 'Metal' or 'Metallic' Cats use a stainless biscuit core and flow a lot higher.

There is NOTHING wrong with X-Force Cats as above, dependent of course on the vehicle and its level of modification.

For the price, I don't think you can go wrong, and I have used one on my old GTS-T and had no problems at all with a significant performance gain.

I would say depending on your level of mods and how far you want to go... go a metal one... I bought a ceramic highflow... put it on... previously I had a gutted cat (straight through- all the inside bits taken out for max flow) going from that to xforce's ceramic was a massive step down...car lost a lot of power... but once again.. depends on how powerful your car is.

Adam

I might be able to help on this matter. I have an xforce ceramic bolt in cat on my car at the moment. I recently bought a "metalcat" weld in cat. getting it welded in on friday, getting the car re tuned on saturday, so ill post up a before and after dyno graph. I wouldnt imagine a BIG difference in power, but we shall see.

300ish extra cfm can flow thru the cat now, should probably see a bit, it will probably be noticeable.. cant wait for the results anyway

xforce make a cat that is about double than close to double that flow and price too, check to see if you got the oval type? or the higher flow racing cat (round barrel style)

I agree that it depends on mods, i have a hi flow (hi flow front vg30 rear) blitz fmic, jjr split one piece dump with a 3" the rest of the way, apart from the cat, that was still the factory 2.5", put the x-force ceramic cat in today, got rid of a mis i had (although i also did the cam belt no idea if that would have helped) power is now more crisp, boosts a little earlier and harder and is also a little quieter when idling, i would say they are a good thing, that being said my next engine im hunting for 300-350rwkw and will probably upgrade or remove the cat completely.

WRONG!

Have a full xforce exhaust, including cat. Running over 400hp on an rb25 for 3 years. What more could you ask for??? Flows well, good value for money.

Not wrong.

I put a 3" supposedly "high flow" Xforce cat in to go over the pits and it was crap. Loss of power and response, felt like crap to drive, took it out as soon as I got home.

I was trying to push 3L worth of exhaust gasses through it though.

Which cat are you running? a "High flow"? or a "Race" cat?

And if you went from a stock exhaust to a full Xforce exhaust then yes, it is going to feel a lot better but you have nothing but a stock exhaust to compare it to.

^^^ agreed

I took my HI FLOW x-force cat out for de-cat and perfromance gain was heaps better.

I haven't tried the race cat one with higher flow but i am sure they would be alot better much like a de-cat

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
